Very innovative but I don't particularly like how it looks. It's too busy. Still very cool though.

It's full carbon, so I doubt it's heavy.

Ugly frame but, as always, nice parts spec. Very light, I'm sure.

aside from the sick new paintjob and parts, I can't see anything thats changed, the linkage looks exactly the same

The shorter link lower the bb 7 mm and open the head angle from 67,5 to 67. But I don't know if it is an effective difference.

Again with cannondale's awesome ability to produce useless "Innovative" ideas. A moto bike? a DH bike? Add more linkages? Yeah right. Lets make things more complicated. lets try to impart More load at 90 degrees. Not this time cannondale, not this time.

I love how Cannondale can't escape the inevitable single pivot design for all their bikes.

It is a true all around bike. It let me go to XC trails with my buddies and descend the hills almost like my DH bike.

I wasn't intending to. All I'm saying is that Cannondale could spend a lot more money making their bikes look good, especially if they already ride well.

Ok, you get reason. But it is not just a look question. The system really works fine.

I had several full suspensions and this is the better system I've tried. It has excellent behavior. The six inches travel feels like seven or eight because the system utilizes almost all the travel without bottom out. And it doesn't kick back like classical single pivots.

If that looks like a dream to ride, then you are having nightmares.
