I guess when I upgrade to a new tri bike I will convert my Slice to a road bike. I don’t have disc brakes on it, but don’t really need them on the Texas coast.

I like how there's actually an Imaginary Slice in the same picture, to far left.

If Cannondale sell it then they can call it Super.

They’re nothing alike. The top tube on the road bike is visibly sloped (vs horizontal on the Slice) and the HTA is visibly steeper.
And the slice frame wraps around the rear wheel whereas the supersix doesn't. Supersix frame is also MUCH beefier so the seatpost and all other tubes are much wider.

I hope you don't have a job where attention to detail is important - the differences are pronounced.

other than the fork, toptube, downtube, seat tube, seatpost, seatstays, and chainstays, they look exactly alike.....

Damn you guys are brutal. At midnight last night after a few drinks it was the same frame. This morning sober not so much. Exact was a strong word. I see similarities in the shape but definitely different. I guess I’ll add blind to my list of talents.

Wow, looks really cool!

Damon's tt designs were so far ahead and that companies were/are still scrambling to catch up years later... No doubt this bike will ride as great as it looks

Not at the moment. But my rep seemed positive both the road and Super Slice would be available then.

let's look at the picture one more time ... sigh. its so shiny and nice.

I think the last Cannondale I craved had gigantic aluminum tubes. had to be around the LA Olympics. this thing, this looks awesome.
its a super sexy Foil. its a risqué S5.

the thing above .... that's awful

Sure the "pro" one looks nice. :)
Does anyone else think the fork rake looks weird? It's looks waaay out front.

They look the same to me, except the paint, slammed-ness, and someone decided to take a picture before taking out the wheel reflectors and "spoke protector."

its super model versus reality.
the pro bike's seat is too high and its stem is slammed. the production model is the opposite.
the pro bike is sleek. the production model has bizarre cable routing out the back of the stem (wth???).
the pro bike has a properly positioned crank with an aero chain ring, while the production has an ugly, cross chained, set up.


in legit differences, I see only two "maybes".
the pro bike's seat tube looks straight. the production model seems to have a curve, almost like a Fuji.
perhaps that is also the paint.
(adding)
and the pro bike's fork frame "melding" seems to have a line or curve that I don't see on the production.

the non-drive side is beneficial to their name. having the C at the top looks better than at the bottom bracket.

I think its because of the "missing" material at the fork crown. It looks almost like an undercut up at the fork crown, if that was filled out I don't think it would look as raked.

Alternatively, they could be trying to go full enduro and rake the fork all the way out, look out for a dropper post on the higher spec version and 27.5 plus tires
