Sweet looking bike. I've always appreciated Cannondale's engineering experiments. You mentioned is it doesn't have any geo adjustment but it does have 1.2 degree adjustable headset cups (which is significant).
head angle meant for some serious business. I like it. hit the steeps and launch a drop or two and the only time you might have a problem is that super tight turn
Finally a full power motor and battery in a striking, lightweight, all mountain package, well done Cannondale. Couple future improvements: Integrate the display, improve charge port plug, easy battery swap.
Come on guys do your research on the bike before you do a review 🙄 it has a flip chip to run 29er rear wheel and an adjustable headset of 1.2 deg to back off the head angle if you find it to slack... but yes it's a great bike
Nice! True story alert: Back in the late 90s the Cannondale team gave me some eccentric cups for my modified Super Vee DH race bike. I added a double stroke shock and made the bike 8 inch travel with a little modification and I had a Risse upside down fork that was like jumping a love seat. I won two races on that bike at Plattekill up in Roxbury NY. Anyway, they gave me the cups and it made the bike much easier to ride super steep stuff like over 60 degrees. Frank Wadelton was a friend and he made the perfect DH bike back then. I think it was 63 degree head angle. I still have my motorhead bike. Only bike I never broke... oops, well Frank made me a special rear end after I broke the rear up racing at platty and I never broke it again
Thanks for testing the bike! A month has passed, and I'm refreshing the channel eagerly looking for that review :)
Same here!!

Can run 29er , can adjust fork deg. Has a flip chip in the bike

My next bike. Perfect addition to my Tlevo. This is what the SL is supposed to be imho
Same here!
Awesome vid 🤘
How do you think it would ride with a coil shock?
Looks good! What was the price?

Does it have room for a coil?
How does it compare to heckler sl?
No headset cable routing nonsense.
Praise the Lord.🙏
Sick riding btw.
