All-New Trail
For 2014, the Trail gets a new lighter weight frame. In addition to a more refined look and features derived from the F-Series, it features a 27.2mm seat post for lighter weight and better trail vibration damping. - Women’s-Specific Geometry
Designed for a women’s proportions, the Trail comes in smaller sizes, with shorter top tubes and size specific headtube lengths. - SAVE micro-suspension stays
Optimized seat stay and chain stay shaping provides vertical compliance for a more comfortable ride with no loss in lateral rigidity. - Custom forks
Because ride feel and suspension is key to enjoyment, we’ve engineered size-specific springs so that the forks on each individual size are better suited to each rider and have a consistent response throughout the range. - 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.
