I'm looking for a CX bike as an on road training tool and winter CX Race bike.
I test rode the Scott and the CAADX 105 (didn't have the Ultegra one available) back to back and the CAADX felt slightly nippier whilst the Scott was more comfortable. I couldn't legitimately assign any plus points to either chassis that weren't actually a result of the different tyres and brakes (the 105 spec CAADX has mechanical brakes, the Ultegra one and the Scott hydros)
Any thoughts gratefully received 🙂
Can't comment other than I'm interested in feedback too. Currently leaning towards Scott as the caadx looks dull...
I thought that too until I saw it in the flesh. It made the Scott look gaudy. (Although from the saddle the Scott was fine).
Monday bumpage
One last plea for any info on either of these two bike please that may help me choose one over the other 🙂
Love my caadx. Don't know Scotts.
If I'd had through I'd have bought a carbon one.
I've also got a CAADX and love it. Must admit that it's a tough call between them looking at the specification. The Scott does appear to have a carbon seatpost which might contribute toward it seeming more comfortable? The smooth welds and paint finish on Cannndales is very, very good.
Have a look at some of the upgrades that Epic Cycles offer on the Cannondales or contact them for their price for standard spec.
Thanks guys. The Scott was on Kenda rubber and the CAAD on Sammy Slicks which may have accounted for some of the difference. The CAADX definitely felt faster.
I'm in the dark with the specs other than what I can google so don't know if either comes with known problems?
