Expirience with the Cannondale F-Si Carbon 5

Ludwig Döhl The F-Si Carbon 5 is one of the most aesthetic bikes on the market. Above all, the rear triangle is a feast for sore eyes. Thanks to a moderate 69 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. At the seating position, Cannondale combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. One should not forget: the geometry is the heart of a mountain bike. For 2199 Euro, Cannondale provides more than the competitors in the same price range. With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature.
