The Trail SL 1 has the same frame as the Trail SE from Cannondale, but with a classic 100 mm suspension fork it is more geared towards athletic use. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Racebike of Cannondale is a very balanced customer. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Racebike of Cannondale, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Cannondale engineers. For 1799 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame!
