Cannondale Bike Size Chart: Road, MTB & Gravel

Cannondale began in 1971 in Wilton, Connecticut, as a camping-gear company and moved into bicycles later that decade. It is now part of Pon.Bicycle and still uses both numbered road/gravel sizes and XS–XL mountain and hybrid labels. This page keeps those systems on separate charts. Do not copy a SuperSix 54 onto a Habit M; confirm the current model-year geometry on Cannondale’s site.

Model geometry (stack and reach)

After the height chart names a size, compare cockpit height (stack) and length (reach) across this brand's models. Each row names the size its numbers belong to, so you can check them against the size the height chart gave you.

How to measure

Height filters the chart. Cycling inseam decides which overlapping size to keep. The method is the same for every brand.

Height and inseam

Height

Take shoes off and stand tall, looking straight ahead. A helper should rest a flat object on the crown of your head, then run a tape from the floor to the underside of that object. Save the number in inches and centimeters — charts use both.

Inseam

Stand tall and barefoot with feet slightly apart. Ask a helper to measure vertically from your crotch to the floor. Keep your legs straight and feet flat.

FAQ

  • What Cannondale road size should I start with at 170 cm?

    The current road table puts 170 cm in the overlap between sizes 54 and 56. Use inseam, standover, and preferred reach to decide which size to investigate first.

  • Is Cannondale M the same size for road and mountain bikes?

    No. A mountain or hybrid M is category-specific. Compare the height, inseam, standover, stack, and reach for the exact bike instead of reusing the label.

  • How do I choose between a Cannondale road and gravel size?

    Select the category first, then use its table and inseam range. Confirm the exact model geometry because gravel bikes may prioritize clearance and a different cockpit position.

  • Is the Cannondale chart enough to choose a model?

    It is a starting point. Confirm the current model-year geometry and size chart on Cannondale's official website before purchase.
