Expirience with the Cannondale Trail SL 3

Cannondale Trail SL 3 Review The Trail SL 3 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. The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. When entering the saddle, the Cannondale Hardtail conveys a balanced seating position. The strongest case for this bike is however: The coherent geometry and grippy tires ensure full send mode on the trail. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Cannondale puts a lot of trust in its products.
