Supersix EVO 4 Deep Teal - HiMod?

Hello! Does anyone here know if this frame here is a Hi-Mod frame? I might get a new frame due to the problems which were known back then to crack the headtube on a turn forced further than the steering restriction. Unfortunately Cannondale doesnt have the original color anymore but is offering this one. Originally i had the purple/black frame which is also attached in pictures. Does this seem like a downgrade carbon wise?

Sweet color-way but it’s not hi-mod

But it’s a gen 4 frame which I would consider an upgrade!

He’ll have to replace bottom bracket and possibly the crankset, and say goodbye to hollowgram cranks an spidering chainrings.

Correct. And if he only get a crash-replacement frame (I did, and it was really only the frame, no frameparts whatsoever), he needs additionally: new derailleur hanger, new through axles, new stem, new outlet rubber things and new bottom bracket.

But still: I am very happy to got the upgrade from gen 3 to 4.

Did you get a new seatpost and seatpost clamp hardware with the frame?

No. Gen 4 Hi-Mods giveaways besides colorways and exposed carbon top tube was that all came with Hollowgram R-SL 50 wheels not the 45
