Our History 2

As we announced previously, following a few reports of issues with the bolts that attach the front rack on some Cannondale Treadwell bicycles that caused the rack to become detached from the bicycle and abruptly stop the front wheel, we elected to conduct a recall of the rack in order to provide riders with a more robust attachment system.

Following several reports of fork fractures on Cannondale Cyclocross CAADX Model Year 2013-2016 bicycles, including one tragic incident in which the rider fell and suffered injuries that ultimately led to his death, we launched an in-depth inquiry. We, and several other independent parties, conducted extensive testing on the issue and did not identify a defect in the forks.

Bad Boy and Bad Girl bicycles subject to recall can be identified by looking at the date code on the bottom of the fork leg. Look for the first character of the code as compare with tables below to find out if the bicycle is subject to this recall.

All 2021 Slate models are sold with inner tube tires. When modification is attempted to run tubeless, (i.e. removal of the inner tube) the tire bead may not seat properly in the rim and the tire could come off the rim. Cannondale has received reports of this occurring in the field, posing a safety risk.
