CANNONDALE QUICK DISK 1 REVIEW SERIES
SmartForm C3 Alloy Frame and Steel ForkĪs we touched on above, the highlight of the Quick series is Cannondale’s SmartForm C3 frame. In addition to design and engineering quality, choosing a renowned brand like Cannondale brings extra benefits such as world-class customer service and excellent warranties. Although the groupset isn’t impressive, the extra features and innovative frame technology make this bike a solid choice.

Frame – SmartForm C3 Alloy, SAVE micro-suspension, hidden cable routing.Other than that, this bike’s spec list has no other significant stand-out components. The standout features of the Quick 4 are the premium SmartForm C3 frame with Cannondale’s proprietary SAVE micro-suspension, the ride-tracking wheel sensor, and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes. For $960, this bike has a lot to offer, but, in our opinion, it falls a little short of its similarly-priced competitors, like Trek’s FX 3 Disc ($900) and Giant’s FastRoad SL 3 ($950). The Cannondale Quick 4 is a well-rounded fitness hybrid at an affordable price.
