Not Carbon. Not Sorry.
A road bike lineage shaped over decades of fast aluminum racing machines – smooth welds, sharp geometry and real race-bike handling. The CAAD14 was built for the pure feeling of road riding: the pull, the glance, the shoulder-to-shoulder sprint and the finish line with your arms in the air.
Model description
The lightest way into the CAAD range, without compromising what matters most. The CAAD14 3 pairs the same SmartForm C1 Premium alloy frame with a mechanical Shimano 105 drivetrain – smooth, dependable and built for long road seasons.
Its clear geometry, stable handling and room for wider tires add comfort at high speed and confidence when the pace rises. Built for ambitious riders who want to train hard, race aggressively and get the most out of an aluminum road bike every day.
What it’s built for
All-or-nothing attacks. Full-gas sprints. Fearless cornering. Feeling alive.
