Not only the fastest in the wind tunnel or just the fastest for a select few riders in a select few scenarios, but the fastest for anyone interested in going faster, just about everywhere you\u2019d want to go faster.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Faster uphill<\/strong>
It’s faster than lightweight climbing bikes on any climb up to a 6% gradient or more, depending on the rider’s power to weight. To put that in perspective, the most revered HC climbs in the Tour only average 7-8%.<\/p>

Faster Everywhere<\/strong>
Of all the forces you must overcome to make speed, aerodynamic drag has more of an effect in most situations than all the other resistive forces combined. Cutting drag translates into more speed, with less effort, in all the places you\u2019d expect. And a lot of places you wouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Faster downhill<\/strong>
Dropping down a 5% grade, a rider on a traditional lightweight bike would need to put out over 300 watts just to keep up with a rider spinning at a recovery effort on a System Six.<\/p>

Faster in the sprints<\/strong>
In a 200m sprint with riders putting out a 1000-watt effort, the System Six rider would be four bike lengths ahead at the line.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Faster on the flats<\/strong>
At 48km\/h (30mph), System Six saves you over 50 watts – huge savings considering an average Cat 1 racer’s Functional Threshold Power is around 350 watts. And even when drafting, you’re still getting up to 60% of that benefit.<\/p>

Everyday Faster <\/strong>
Even at a mellow group ride pace, System Six requires about 10% less power to maintain speed, leaving you with more in the tank when it’s time to throw down.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The secret of the System Six\u2019s spectacular speed lies in, not surprisingly, a system.<\/strong><\/p>

A holistically designed six-point system \u2014 Frame, Fork, Seat post, Bar, Stem, Wheels. \u2014 engineered to work together to defeat the giant of aerodynamic drag.<\/p>

Frame & fork<\/strong>
To minimize drag, the frame and fork feature highly truncated airfoil shapes, engineered to maintain flow attachment across important yaw angles. Distinct asymmetry throughout provides instant response to pedalling and braking loads.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

64 KN\u00d8T Wheels<\/strong><\/p>

Conceived as the first component of the System Six project, the Hollow Gram 64 KN\u00d8T is one of the absolute fastest wheelsets on the planet. Its unique design combines the speed benefits of an ultra-low drag profile with the real-world rideability benefits of larger volume tires.<\/p>

Incorporating some ideas pioneered by Cannondale\u2019s friends at HED, the disc-specific design is significantly wider than other road wheels. That extra width makes tires effectively bigger than their marked size for better ride quality (a 23c tire measures a full 26mm on the wheel) and helps air flowing over the tire reattach cleanly to the rim, maximizing flow attachment and minimizing drag. The rim shape is optimized for 26mm (23c) tires, but the 64 KN\u00d8T design exhibits minimal changes in drag with even larger tires, giving riders the option to go bigger for comfort, grip, and reduced rolling resistance without paying an aero penalty. It\u2019s pure speed, without compromise.<\/p>

Hollow Gram KN\u00d8T System Bar and Stem<\/strong>
This slick bit of speed wizardry provides the low drag and sleek look of a one-piece combo with the convenience and customizable adjustability of a two-piece system. The carbon bar features a full 8\u00b0 of pitch adjust and comes in multiple widths for dialling in your position. The rounded airfoil shape maintains consistent airflow throughout the pitch range for low drag in any position and is much comfier on your hands than bars with sharp trailing edges.
The stem is interchangeable and comes in a variety of lengths and rises. It routes the brake and Di2 lines cleanly into the headtube via a channel under a mechanic-friendly cover and features matching gated spacers so you can adjust the stack height without disconnecting cables. Fast meets easy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

KN\u00d8T Seat post<\/strong>
An often overlooked, but vital part of the system. The truncated airfoil shape of the Hollow Gram KN\u00d8T seat post is designed specifically to reduce drag in the high-speed airflow that is accelerated between the rider\u2019s legs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
