Alison Jackson’s maple-leaf liveried Cannondale SuperSix EVO Lab71 was one of the standout bikes at Omloop het Nieuwsblad this weekend.
While the race didn’t go to plan for Jackson, with Demi Vollering claiming the women’s victory, we took a look at her recently released SuperSix EVO Lab71 at the start line.
With a new frame, custom colourway and drool-worthy spec, this is a bike that has our interests at heart.
Cannondale SuperSix EVO Lab71
With the new SuperSix released only a couple of weeks ago, Omloop was the first time we’d seen the bike race on European soil after we first spotted it at the Tour Down Under.
The new frame has seen a series of incremental developments to save weight, while maintaining the previous bike’s aerodynamics.
This version is the top-of-the-range Lab71 edition, which uses Cannondale’s most premium carbon layup.
While she no longer rides for EF Education–Oatly, swapping to St Michel–Préférence Home–Auber93 last year, Jackson's bike sponsorship hasn't changed, with Cannondale continuing to support her.
To celebrate her Canadian National Champion status, the brand has produced this beautiful custom colourway.
The top tube bears the words "Don't think just dance", a personal message to remind Jackson to keep going when her head’s down.
Away from the frame, the bike uses Cannondale’s new SystemBar Road integrated cockpit, which features an exposed carbon weave and is wrapped in matching red and white Prologo bar tape.
Elsewhere, a Prologo saddle and Look pedals finish off the contact points.
The bike uses SRAM’s RED AXS groupset and rolls on Mavic Cosmic SLR 45 hoops wrapped in 30mm Michelin Power Cup tyres.
