Rider Profile:
For the female trail rider who wants the confidence and speed that comes from a 29’er that actually fits.
Tango is:
- Comfortable and confidence-inspiring thanks to great standover clearance and dialed geometry.
- Incredibly stiff and strong, especially with the Delta V style front triangle of the Tango SL.
- The ladies way to roll big. Tango’s 29-inch wheels offer stable handling and a smooth ride.

Women’s 29 Geometry
Women’s specific 29 geometry eliminates the compromises associated with smaller riders and bigger wheels. The Tango SL utilizes the one-and-only Delta V design for the lowest standover in the industry. - Two Tangos
For 2014, there are two Tangos: The Tango SL is optimized for more aggressive riding with its oversized 1.5” headtube and super stiff Delta V style front end. Then, for those who want a less radical look, the new Tango features a curved top tube and 1-1/8” headtube. - 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. - SAVE Micro-Suspension
Optimized seat stay and chain stay shaping provides vertical compliance for a more comfortable ride with no loss in lateral rigidity.
