Really a fan of what Cannondale did with the new Jekyll. If I already did not have my V3 Wreckoning for my squishy bike duty, it for sure would have been at the top of my list. Would for sure swap out those wheels on this build, but otherwise it is solid for the $$.
After seeing this I'd love to see a review on the new intense tracer 279, its another big travel enduro bike like this one (without a high pivot) but it sounds like it would ride simular to the Cannondale
Awesome review! I've had this bike on my wish list since it came. I really want a full squish bike for some of the more rowdy trails in my area! Thanks for the chance to win this beast!

Nice bike! Would like to see the Spartan HP review too!
I love that the geo on this isn’t too crazy, I have a GT Force 29 from 2021 that rocks the same chainstay length, a slightly steeper headtube angle at 64.6 degrees and a 450mm reach on a medium and it’s the perfect all rounder geo wise. I’d love to get my hands on a Jekyll at some point just to compare the two.
Such a sick looking bike for sure in that beetle green color scheme. Does the guideler chain guide help keep tension on the chain minimizing chain slap? I haven't heard anything about that added tech
Would it be possible to put a DH fork on the front and use this bike as a DH bike? Or would that be to much of a geo change and make the bike ride poorly?
Been riding this bike for several months now (I have my own review up on RUclips) and found the rear suspension to be pretty harsh off the top no matter what, had the shock revealed and it was much be, did you have any issues? Also the frame sizes are a little odd, I'm 5ft 9 and Cannondale recommend a medium, it was/is way too short in seated reach so I had to change for a large, not great when you shell out that much money. Still after all the faffing around it's a great machine.
Bad review. Contradicting almost everything. Ambiguous information. This bike is a conservative sided geometry against other bikes this days. Maybe he did not set properly the sag. Also, rebound for this bike needs to be in the fastest spectrum. I feel that is a really good pedaler against the gt (heavy) and against the norco range a mean it is almost in other category for me. This long travel enduro bike feels very poppy i can say more of a trail bike feeling than the other enduro high pivot bikes. I don’t know why this guys keep making awful reviews.
Thanks for writing in Carlos. I believe we said this bike pedals better than both the Norco and GT and it's also more lively and playful than both of those bikes. It is definitely the most fun and playful high pivot bike we've ridden, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have the flaws of a high pivot bike, even if they are less than the others.

Why do you use the plural “we” when referring to yourself? That’s kinda weird and makes you sound like a lawyer or a politician
Keep me informed
@@nl3712 what? he's talking about himself and "the loam wolf" as an organization. it's a completely normal thing to do
its my dream bike has been since i saw the bike and the the geo

I love how in depth you guys go with your reviews!
Thank you.
The best review I've seen of this beast of a bike.
Thank you very much.
Crossing my fingers.. This bike has been high on my wish list since it was released..
Been waiting on the long term review

That is an amazing looking bike!!
Thanks for your videos!
Nice production. Looking to choose.
Beautiful bike and great review!
This bike would be a ginormous upgrade over my Norco Fluid Ht 2 😱
Raddddd review! 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate it!! Glad you enjoyed it.

I have heard no chain slap and have had the bike for a couple months beware of pedaling noise is noticeable
Had one in the early 90s…would love to win a new one!
Man that's a good looking bike
Would it be possible to put a DH fork on the front and use this bike as a DH bike? Or would that be to much of a geo change and make the bike ride poorly?
I believe a few of Cannondales athletes have done it. But they may have shorted the travel to 180/190 to keep it relatively close.
waiting for the gt force review!!
Dropping on the website next week.
Such a sick bike!!😍
Hell Amazing bike i am 1,77cm also 5 Foot 10 is size Large Good for me???
Such a pretty location
Thanks

Livliest one that we’ve ridden. Which is 3.
Would love this bike

Who also still wants to buy that beauty in 2024/2025?
Im realy tempted right now! 😅
SOLID!!!
I believe that the awkward position of the shock is probably stopping a lot of people to buy this bike.
I'd be curious to heard comparison with the Forbidden Dreadnought, seems like it fits perfectly in this categories as well.
We're curious too!
any bike is a great bike, but a free! bike is amazing.
High Pivot Shoot Out ..... add the Devinci
Want it! 💖
I wanna win!!!
Nachooooo
