Cannondale says

Wanna ride the bull? The Taurine is custom bred for the hardtail racing scene. An already-light design gets a further weight reduction via the HI-MODulus carbon tubing. Consequently, the frame is both superlight and boasts carbon's heralded vibration-damping qualities. Anybody can lay-up carbon fiber. But nobody tunes HI-MOD unidirectional fibers quite like Cannondale. The Taurine HI-MOD tubeset is optimized for the ride characteristics, strength, and light weight that hardtail riders require.
