In 2006 our 29'er test mule was Bear Naked Cannondale Mountain Bike Team's Matthew Lee.
He rode a prototype to victory at last years Continental Divide race. You can imagine the
feedback was pretty detailed. After 2470 miles - he had a lot to talk about! For 2008 we've
improved tire clearance at the seat stay while still maintaining our race proven geometry.

WEIGHT: Don't see a weight listed for this bike? Wondering why that is? Well, we used to list our weights based upon medium or 56 cm frame and err on the side of caution when we know there will be variances due to welds, paint thicknesses, etc. But some of our competitors are weighing their small or extra small frames and rounding down. Then you're left wondering what's going on and making important buying decisions based upon faulty information. That's not right.
So because weight is too important to you as a consumer, we encourage a healthy bit of skepticism over published weights. Go to your local dealer, see it, feel it, weigh it and test ride it for yourself. We're that confident. You should be, too.
