Bike check: Stefan de Bod's LAB71 SuperSix EVO for the Giro

Our Cannondale bikes were not manufactured specifically for the Giro, but tap into the design with a color scheme utilizing excess paint and limiting waste. The sport’s governing body mandates the EF Pro Cycling teams give up pink uniforms at the Giro since they closely resemble the pink jersey, worn by the race leader. Constraints foster creativity. At the Giro, Stefan and his teammates will be racing on works of art.

Stefan's Giro race bike is outfitted with 54-40 FSA chainrings, K-Force cranks with a power2max powermeter and an 11-34 cassette, so the South African will be ready for the steepest climbs in the Appenines, Dolomites, and Alps. Vittoria Corsa Pro tires provide the perfect balance of grip, low rolling resistance, and silky road feel, while Stefan's Vision Metron 60 SL wheels will cut through the wind. He sits comfortably on his Prologo saddle with carbon rails.

Stefan can't wait for the three-week tour of Italy to get started. His Cannondale LAB71 SuperSix EVO sure is beautiful.
