ALL NEW FRAME
Completely redesigned for 2013, the Trail SL frames have a new lighter-weight frameset modeled after our high-end Flash frames, new lighter dropouts and more exaggerated SAVE features. Lighter, Stiffer and Smoother.
1.5" HEAD TUBE
The oversized 1.5" head tube increases front end stiffness for better steering and control..
SMOOTH WELDS
Trademark double-pass smooth welds showcase Cannondale's aluminum frame mastery. Since we don't patch fill with putty and paint, our process eliminates the stress-risers and weak points found on traditionally welded frames, enabling us to build lighter, stronger frames everywhere in the line.

Comments about cannondale TRAIL SL 29ER 3 SS:
I work at a shop and my boss let me take this one for a spin. I've ridden rigid bikes before and this one still delivers. The weight, the response, and the raw feel are all there. The gearing is what got me though, it is spot on. The parts could be better but you can't beat the price. All in all, a great starter for someone looking into an SS setup. Keep the frame, and play with upgrades.
