What's the difference between these SuperSix EVOs?
Is the first one below last year's model?
Why is this one $1900 and called the SuperSix EVO 105: https://www.cannondale.com/en-us/bik...ku=c11309m7050
And this one $2200 and is called the SuperSix EVO Carbon 105: https://www.cannondale.com/en-us/bik...ku=c11750m1048
while both are carbon frames?
And can anyone explain the difference between the levels or names of Carbon frame as listing in the comparison below?

The one with the dropped seat stays is the newer, more areo design.

Yeah, what WhyFi said.
When I was looking for a new bike back in February and March, the SuperSix EVO was on the top of my list. Except the local Cannondale shop didn't have any in my size. So I went with Specialized and the shop that went above and beyond to make the sale.
However this looks like you got this from Cannondales website. And back then it was a disaster and didn't work well or correctly. I think they had just put up the new format and it was hard to find out what year model you were looking at. It appears to still be the same case.
The SuperSix EVO for 2020 was picked as the best new road bike by one of the online cycling mags. Can't remember which one.

The 2019 is a great bike as well (I have one) -- and an extra couple hundred bucks might go a long way these days...

It's interesting Cannondale doesn't show model years for those. The dropped seatstay does seem to be the more recent version. Either would be nice!

The old logo gives it away too. All the new Cannondale bikes have smaller logos with their new font.
A SuperSix Evo for $1900 (even if it's the "old" model) seems like a killer deal. That's a great bike. Crazy that the new 105 rim brake model is $2200 and 105 disc is $2750. Such a big jump in price for discs.
Also interesting to note that the new SuperSix Evo 105 ($2200) and CAAD13 Ultegra ($2400) are now Cannondale's top-of-the-line options for rim brake bikes. They have an older SuperSix Evo Hi-MOD with Dura Ace rim brakes, but it doesn't look like they offer any rim brake option above 105 with the new frame.

If I can find one in a 48 in the grey w/ red frame, I think that'll be my new bike. I'm not holding out hope though since it's last year's model I bet the inventory is long gone especially after the last 4 months.

I would think the price difference is because they don't want the few pieces of unsold prior year models to remain forever unsold inventory. Who'd pay for NOS if new is almost the same price?
