Mountain Bikes

From the Dolomites to Durango, get ready to hit to the trail. Cannondale's mountain line spans riding styles: World Cup XC venues to poaching your shop's favorite hidden trails. On select models you'll find ISCG tabs, the ultra-efficient BB30, 3D forgings, and the plush suspension of Lefty forks. Explore the options here, and then visit your local dealer to get a closer look.

All Mountain


>> All Mountain Moto | RZ One Forty

Western fire roads to northeast rock gardens: Cannondale's Moto and RZ One Forty are all-mountain rigs ready to handle the gnarliest terrain. Loaded with features, the 160 and 140mm bikes handle big hits, steer straight and track true.

Marathon


>> Marathon RZ One Twenty | Rush

Endurance racing, cross-country stints over the Alps, and 24-hour rides are all gaining popularity. To answer that call, the Cannondale RZ One Twenty boasts a super-efficient frame for zero power loss, and the fork that every marathon rider loves: The Lefty!

XC Racing


>> XC Racing Scalpel

The winningest frame on the World Cup circuit continues to get better. The Cannondale Scalpel is lighter than ever in 2010 with magnesium links and a revised carbon layup. Zero-Pivot technology makes it possible to get the best dual-suspension racer available without any need for bearing or bushing maintenance.

Hardtail


>> Hardtail Flash | Trail SL

The lightest hardtail in the world is now available with Cannondale's Flash Carbon. Loaded with features, the Flash is ready to race. Other premium hardtails - from carbon to alloy to 29'er options - are also available and ready to tackle single-track.





Hatchet Drive
HATCHET DRIVE
Cannondale's engineers break rear shock stiction faster and have re-oriented shock forces in the frame with the floating shock of the Hatchet Drive for better real-world riding performance.
Hot Box
HOT BOX
Carbon fiber is already resistant to torsional forces. But, Cannondale's engineers boosted that trait at the BB shell with nearly no weight penalty by sandwiching the area (the Hot Box) with two slim carbon fiber plates.
Diablo Headtube
DIABLO HEADTUBE
The Moto's carbon headtube is devilishly large. With a 66.6 mm outer diameter, the proportions give it precise steering.

You will appreciate while you are, picking lines through gnarly rock gardens.
