SAVE SEATPOST
Through the use of sophisticated carbon layups our SAVE seatpost adds over 20mm of comfort enhancing, bump absorbing damping to the frame. Less vibration results in reduced fatigue and increased comfort, letting you ride longer and faster.
LEFTY SYSTEM INTEGRATION
The unmatched light weight and precision of our Lefty fork is an even bigger advantage on 29'ers. It's class leading stiffness and light weight make an even bigger difference on the big wheeled bikes. Combined with the superlight Si OPI stem/steerer and Hollowgram SL BB30 Cannondale's System Integration sheds hundreds of grams.
SPEED SAVE VIBRATION ELIMINATION TECHNOLOGY
SPEED SAVE rear stays create a ride-tuned micro suspension system that allows the rear wheel to track the ground, improving control, traction and handling. This allows the bike to roll faster, accelerate better and corner harder.

Comments about cannondale F29 CARBON 3:
This bike is simply amazing. Going from a 26" to a 29er alone is a bike step. This bad-boy rolls over whatever it encounters without hesitation. It is nimble, very quick, light, extremely durable, and comfortable. I've jumped this bike plenty, and the carbon frame and lefty fork set you down lightly, and keep you rolling. For those of you uneasy, or curious about the lefty fork: it is absolutely durable, and super smooth. I must admit, I was hesitant on getting this bike because I like to go off jumps, throw the bike around a bit, etc. The Flash Carbon series can handle what you give it. I'd never buy another mountain bike lacking the lefty fork, or the name of Cannondale!
Take one for a test drive, and see how comfortable this innovative machine is.
