Expirience with the Cannondale Trail SE 3

Cannondale Trail SE 3 Review With a little more suspension travel and wider tires, the Trail SE 3 is even more suitable for downhill fun than its little brother (Trail SL). Both bikes use the same frame. With its geometry, the Trail SE 3 is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. The moderate seating position is likely to be the perfect middle ground for the majority of bikers. Looking at only the shifting system of the rest of the bikes you have to say that other manufacturers in the price range under 1500 Eurouse higher quality components. An important point at the end: The sporty orientation makes the Downcountry-Bike of Cannondale a real mountain goat in the Downcountry-Bikes. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Cannondale sets the bar high!
