Cannondale Will Shut Down Connecticut Headquarters By Mid-2027, Laying Off 143 Workers
@HB208: Yeah, and none of those "road only" brands have to warehouse 40 different rec model bikes in sizes and colors. They don't have to pay an HQ of 143 people salaries and benefits. They don't make terrible helmets that look like they were designed in 1996.
And the road market is only bigger because gravel is being lumped into the category and there's another hit on Cannondale. Their gravel bikes are meh for a company with such an iconic road selection.

Cannondale Will Shut Down Connecticut Headquarters By Mid-2027, Laying Off 143 Workers
@Onetrakcmind: I'm not saying their bikes are terrible but for a brand of their caliber and size they should've been breaking a mold every now and then and that never happened. If you read every review of Cannondale's modern MTB line - Moterra, Habit, Jekyll, Bad Habit - a top complaint from most reviewers is the actual suspension performance. How do you consistently make FS bikes with average - or below - suspension performance? At some point, the chickens come home to roost and Cannondale relied far to heavily on the loyalty of their customers instead of trying to reinvent themselves as a brand.

Not saying I'm a fan of PON but Cannondale was flailing for years, why do you think this falls squarely on their shoulders? Genuinely curious as I don't know much about PON other than they seem to own alot of companies.

@sherbet: Being good in road and average in almost everything else is the definition of a failing brand. We just came out of the hottest growth in mountain in history and Cannondale spent the majority of that time swinging and missing. Ai offset - fail. Lefty - fail. I'm honestly shocked PON even bought them but I'd always heard they wanted to take Cannondale and make it THEIR Canyon. Cheapen the quality and sell D2C. This could be the start of that. I guess we'll see.

First Ride: Aventon Launches Current LTD, a High-Spec Take on Their First eMTB
@JaKowz: Totally agree. I think it should be mandatory for companies to list warranty rates - at least.

First Ride: Aventon Launches Current LTD, a High-Spec Take on Their First eMTB
@JaKowz: Here's an easier metric - compare Canyon to Trek or Specialized who both outsell Canyon on a very large scale. While those brands aren't perfect - none are - the warranty instances don't seem to be nearly as expansive or nefarious as Canyon. Sadly, warranty data will never be released to the public because it would mean suicide and I'm not saying Canyon is a bad brand, but their warranty issues are the stuff of legend.

Review: The Cannondale Bad Habit Is Actually Pretty Good
I think their engineers are pissed their proprietary ideas were rejected and the bitterness shows in their products. How do you continually make full suspension bikes that reviewers always complain lack stability in the suspension? They said it about the Habit, the Jekyll and now this.
