2019 Cannondale Slate SE Apex 1 Mens Gravel Bike - Graphite

If you're looking to take your adventures off-road, look no further than the Cannondale Slate. With it's custom Lefty fork and large, high-speed 650x42c tyres, it's perfect on every surface, from pavement to gravel and singletrack.

BIG TYRES + SMALL WHEELS = GOOD TIMES

Enjoy the best of both worlds - 42c tyres on 650 lb wheels cover the same ground as 700x23c alternatives but with increased traction, comfort and grip on corners.

FULL-FUN GEOMETRY

The Slate's speed is boosted by short chainstays, while off-road handling and stability is improved by the slack head angle and long front-centre.

MAGICAL COMFORT

Bumps don't have to slow you down anymore, thanks to the large volume of the Slate's tyres, the plush SAVE rear triangle and the Lefty Oliver suspension fork.

SURPRISINGLY LIGHT, SURPRISINGLY FAST

Despite its sturdy appearance, the Slate weighs less than a kilo more than other off-road bikes of its kind, giving you a bike that can go toe-to-toe with traditional road bikes for speed but with an added smoothness that's tough to beat.
