Expirience with the Cannondale Jekyll 2

Ludwig Döhl The Jekyll 2 has always been a pioneer in the mountain biking world. At this point, it is the youngest representative of the dynasty. With a low damper and a high-pivot rear end, the Americans once again demonstrate their innovative strength. With a 64 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. The combination of high stack and short top tube makes the riding position pleasantly comfortable. If you set great value on high-quality shifting system there are other Enduro 4999 Euro with higher quality components. One should not forget: the geometry is the heart of a mountain bike. For 4999 Euro, Cannondale provides more than the competitors in the same price range. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Cannondale puts a lot of trust in its products.
