TECHNOLOGIES
- 1.5” HEAD TUBE on TRAIL SL
As an upgrade over Trail, our Trail SL line gets a 1.5” head tube which 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. - SAVE STAYS
Optimized seat stay and chain stay shaping provides vertical compliance for a more comfortable ride with no loss in lateral rigidity. - ALL NEW FRAME FOR TRAIL
For 2014, the Trail gets a new lighter weight frame. In addition to a more refined look, it features a 27.2mm seat post for lighter weight and better trail vibration damping.
