Expirience with the Cannondale Trail SL 4

Cannondale Trail SL 4 Review The Trail SL 4 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 Cannondale Hardtail is a very balanced customer. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Cannondale Hardtail. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. For friends of sending it on rowdy trails: the last argument is still the strongest, because the harmonious geometry and the grippy tires cause you to smile from top to bottom in the descent. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Cannondale sets the bar high!
