The bikes, the wins, and the summer that left a mark.

Summer 2024 marked a defining season for Cannondale, a full-blown showcase of design and performance at the highest level. The Cannondale Factory Racing Team and LAB-born bikes not only won races but also turned heads and made serious statements on and off the course. From the rowdiness of Redbull Hardline to the pristine stages of the Olympic Games—Faulkner’s Road race gold, Alan’s XC bronze, and Charlie’s top 10 finish all resulted from a blend of grit, strategy, and expert engineering. But the story runs deeper than podium finishes. Much of this victory was authored behind the scenes in the LAB, where Cannondale’s in-house team designs and creates builds bikes from scratch with one goal: to win—and look damn good doing it.

There is a palpable bond between Cannondale’s bikes and its athletes, making Summer 2024 feel less like a series of races and more like milestones in a shared journey. In the Cannondale LAB, just as on the course, no shortcuts are taken. Every bike is crafted in-house by a team that knows a perfect bike must account for the nuances of the course and the rider’s needs.

Each bike emerges from a collective of raw ideas, backed by decades of data and experience. The team meticulously pours over every millimeter of the frame, every angle of geometry, and every material, ensuring that LAB bikes go fast, fit like a glove, handle like a dream, and look like rolling pieces of art fresh out of the MODA.
