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.

seraph (Sep 10, 2009 at 9:32)

A lot of bikes do that.

eder (Sep 10, 2009 at 13:09)

Yes, what's the problem?

seraph (Sep 10, 2009 at 14:03)

This one is ugly as hell, that's the problem.

nouser (Sep 10, 2009 at 15:10)

ugly as hell indeed.

eder (Sep 10, 2009 at 15:58)

Don't buy.

seraph (Sep 10, 2009 at 16:07)

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.

But I must to say it has very lateral flexion. It is dangerous for DH and heavy for XC...

i want that in my life..........

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

think the cannondale moto has always been on of my favourite bikes, and it just got better

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

eder (Sep 10, 2009 at 20:30)

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.

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

nfiorito (Sep 6, 2009 at 21:48)

touche.

seraph (Sep 5, 2009 at 12:16)

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

Ciaran500 (Sep 6, 2009 at 6:01)

Nice bike stand.

eder (Sep 10, 2009 at 7:53)

Did you ride it?

hellyhansen (Sep 7, 2009 at 18:08)

i so badly wanna see that linkage work baby!

PrukeR (Sep 8, 2009 at 6:37)

ok w końcu normalny widelec i od razu lepiej wygląda a nie jak kuternoga

nouser (Sep 5, 2009 at 14:08)

the tubes are just beefy

K-i-F-U (Sep 7, 2009 at 6:54)

perfect :O

halim (Dec 2, 2009 at 11:12)

The MTB and the carbon is very bad choice !!

kejor (Jun 2, 2011 at 8:40)

ale kupa

brett878 (Sep 5, 2009 at 12:02)

looks heavy

BlainerMTB (Sep 5, 2009 at 14:52)

it just looks heavy cuz the parts are thick but it looks like a dream to ride!

seraph (Sep 6, 2009 at 0:52)

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

pursell (Sep 6, 2009 at 12:11)

finaly a company who made a freeride bike that looks different and sweet

seraph (Sep 6, 2009 at 12:16) (Below Threshold)

Different, yes. Sweet, no.

nfiorito (Sep 6, 2009 at 21:47)

Freeride, no.

mtbKELSEY (Sep 8, 2009 at 12:58)
