Meet Dominique’s Cannondale SuperSix EVO LAB71 Gen 5 EF Pro Cycling Team Replica

A mouthful, indeed, but a name that’s more than justified. Shown above and below is the crème de la crème, the pinnacle of modern cycling technology: a bike built without compromise and designed not simply to compete, but to conquer.

So, let’s break down exactly what that name represents.

Starting with SuperSix EVO, Cannondale’s SuperSix EVO is the ultimate all-around road race bike. It’s light enough to climb like a mountain goat, aerodynamic and nimble enough to move like a cheetah across the flats and down descents, all while maintaining a comfortable platform for all-day pedaling. It’s a bike designed to do it all, and do it exceptionally well.
Then there’s LAB71. If you know cars, think of LAB71 as Cannondale’s version of Pininfarina for Ferrari. LAB71 represents the very top of Cannondale’s range, reserved for rare prototypes, pro replicas, and limited-production models. These are the crown jewels of the cycling world, where no expense is spared and no detail is overlooked. In fact, the frame alone took 10 months to arrive and is one of two in North America. It’s that special.

For those unfamiliar with professional cycling, EF Pro Cycling is America’s longest-running top-level professional cycling team. The team entered the world of professional cycling with the objective of “opening the world through education,” a mission that remains central to its identity. Notable names that ride for EF include Richard Carapaz, Ryder Hesjedal, Neilson Powless and Lachlan Morton. Bringing together Cannondale’s LAB71, and EF Pro Cycling results in something truly special: a gorgeous, race-bred frame that we’re ecstatic to have the chance to showcase!

The Build

Of course, the frame is only the beginning. This is a very special machine, and we wanted every component to live up to it. No stone was left unturned.
The build is adorned with some of the finest equipment available, starting with a DURA-ACE Di2 drivetrain equipped with an integrated 4iiii Precision 3+ Pro Power Meter. Power delivery and drivetrain performance are complemented by a CeramicSpeed Bottom Bracket, while the bike rolls on Reserve 34|37 Turbulent Aero wheels, laced to DT Swiss 180 DICUT SL hubs.
And that’s just the beginning. We’ve detailed every component below, so if you’d like to take a closer look at what makes this bike so special, be sure to check out the full spec list.

See It Come Together

Because a bike this special deserves more than a parts list, we’ve also put together a build video documenting how it all came together. So grab a snack, sit back, and watch us assemble the chef-d'œuvre that is Dominique’s Cannondale SuperSix EVO LAB71 Gen 5 EF Pro Cycling Team Replica.
