29'er 1 with Caffeine frame technology
Hardtail riders are a soulful lot, and none are more so than 29er aficionados. Get all the benefits of the Caffeine frame with the easy-to-ride, easy-to-like 29-inch platform. There's even a single-speed version for the true believers.
ECCENTRIC BB
We could achieve chain tension on the single-speed 29'er with a doohickey that hangs from the rear derailleur. But those things are more fragile than Cannondale's solution: an eccentric bottom bracket. It offers the most accurate chain tension adjustment to maximize pedaling efficiency and your peace of mind.
THE COMPLETE EXPERIENCE
For 29'er addicts, riding a big-wheeled bike is a soulful experience that 26-inch bikes just can't compete with. What makes an already excellent ride even better is pairing a 29'er frame and wheels with a HeadShok Lefty. It's like the frame and fork are purpose-built for one another. Trust us.
BUTTED TUBING
The use of butted tubing in the seat, top, and down tubes (plus seat stays) puts strength where it's needed and removes material where it's not to optimize lightweight performance
