Cannondale Flying V 2 2026
Lightness takes flight
A silhouette that draws on the past, reimagined for the future in ultra-lightweight carbon. The FlyingV is a bike ahead of its time. Enhance your city riding experience with the lightest e-bike available: the FlyingV 1. The complete ultra-lightweight carbon fiber frame, which also includes the fenders, makes it extremely light. The Bosch Performance Line SX motor and 400 Wh battery deliver smooth, effortless power, while its easy handling and upright riding position make it a joy to ride. The electronically controlled Shimano Nexus Di2 internal hub gearing ensures perfect shifting every time. If you prefer, there is also the option of fully automatic gear shifting. In addition, a phone holder and our AppTag transform your smartphone into a connected dashboard for navigation with all your ride data. Don't just ride. Fly.
Lightweight and agile
FlyingV is the first full carbon urban bike to feature full carbon fenders. Lightweight and incredibly responsive, its unique geometry is inspired by our racing experience and delivers lightning-fast acceleration, precise steering, and such light handling that you'll feel like you're flying on the road.
When iconic style meets perfect ergonomics
The boldly designed V-shaped frame is both futuristic and functional. It is extremely durable, and thanks to the lowered top tube, it is easy to get on and off the saddle and transport. Style and functionality come together in a form that won't go unnoticed wherever you go.
It's a true Cannondale
The full carbon frame and top-of-the-line components make the FlyingV a high-performance bike you can always count on. There's a good reason why you still see original Cannondales on the road every day, and the FlyingV continues that tradition.
Designed by cyclists
The FlyingV is designed in our German design studios and assembled in our factories in the Netherlands by passionate cyclists who ride every day, to work and for the sheer pleasure of it. It's as close as you can get to its true essence: every detail is born from experience, every model from a ritual of passion.
Carbon to the core
This frame is light and incredibly sturdy. Made with the same technology that won the World Championships, but reworked to tackle potholes, curbs, and sprinting at traffic lights. Ready for speed. Tested in the city.
Optimized design
Exclusive carbon fiber fenders designed together with the frame. Lightweight, rigid, quiet, and unmistakably modern. Form meets function in an essential design for the city.
The DeltaV DNA
Inspired by our legendary DeltaV frames, the exclusive V-shaped frame is not only a nod to the past, but a combination of elegance, practicality, and sturdiness.
Onboard phone
Stay connected. The SPC+ mount and universal clamp above the handlebar mount allow you to use your phone as a dashboard, while the integrated AppTag instantly connects you to the Cannondale app for navigation, route information, and more.
Bosch power, smooth assistance
The Performance Line SX motor delivers 600 W of peak power and 60 Nm of torque, with a perfectly integrated 400 Wh battery. Power flows smoothly up to 25 km/h, then gives way to natural, friction-free pedaling. A true feeling of freedom, encapsulated in every single pedal stroke.
Ultra-easy transmission
The Shimano internal hub gearbox is equipped with Di2 electronic shifting with fully automatic operation. Combined with the precise, quiet, and maintenance-free Gates belt drive, it sets a new standard for urban transmissions.
Perfected geometry
Optimized for precise agility at any speed. An upright, comfortable riding position, handling designed for maximum performance, and cutting-edge ergonomics: everything you need to master everyday traffic.
Functional elegance
The integrated rear rack is lightweight, discreet, and sturdy. With a capacity of 18 kg and a rearward position that eliminates contact between your heel and your bag, it's the perfect combination of style and functionality.
Designed down to the smallest detail
Handlebars, grips, and saddle: every contact point has been carefully selected to offer maximum comfort and precise control. No compromises. Every detail has been carefully considered.
