The SystemSix gets the nod for “the perfect daily driver”

We'd all like the opportunity to surf the web taking notes on what products we'd like to get our hands on in an effort to build the ultimate Daily Driver. Well Road magazine did just that selecting durable parts that can withstand the day-day rigors of club rides, training, and racing, but still maintain a pro team look and demand for performance.

Starting with the heart and sole of the project Road magazine chose the SystemSix frame/fork to hang an incredible selection of components on including Cannondale SI carbon cranks.

When it was all said and done the only thing that really matters is how does she ride? Here’s a sample of what the test rider had to say!

“The SystemSix is a perfect machine. It’s stiffer than you know what but at the same time it’s more comfortable than the down pillow you rest your little head on”

“Taking the SystemSix principles to heart, the engineering crew has created a race machine, a daily driver, a century rig, all without sloping the thing to death or extending the wheel base”

“The SystemSix excels in all areas. It climbs well with the aforementioned stiffness, descends like it ascends, and in a straight line it roll s quickly and efficiently, while at the same time reacting to and danger in the road or on front of you”

“The strongest aspect is the Six’s comfort”

“This would make for the perfect daily driver, all the while serving multiple duties based on your personal tastes and whether you’ll be competitive or recreational or both”
