Where it thrives
Gravel roads, out in the elements, low-impact trails
What it's built for
Traction, handling, comfort
More Give. More Go.
Featuring Kingpin, a revolutionary, super-light suspension that lets you ride harder on dirt and more smoothly on pavement. Better control. Better traction. Better comfort. Nothing sacrificed.
It’s easier to go harder
Refined geometry and rider position deliver an experience that’s stable, composed and comfortable without losing that spark. Go further, ride longer, charge harder.


Load and go
Plenty of places to store gear and water, with a multi-position mount on the downtube, and more on the top tube, seat tube, and under the down tube. There's even mounts on the forks.

Technology
King of Comfort
The Kingpin suspension system offers up to 30mm of bump-smoothing suspension, without the weight and complexity of a shock or linkages.

Proportional Response Construction
Suspension and overall frame ride-feel is custom tuned by size, using different carbon layup and different tube dimensions, so each size is dialed for the rider. Just get on and go.

Connected
An integrated wheel sensor delivers hyper accurate speed, route and distance info, registers your bike, reminds you of needed service and more, all through the free Cannondale App.

Dialed Endurance Fit
Offers a perfectly balanced riding position: upright enough for comfort over the long haul and control when tackling technical off-road terrain, yet still low and forward enough for speedy efficiency.

OutFront Steering Geometry
Keeps the steering light and agile, while positioning the wheel further in front of the rider for stability and confidence on rougher stuff. Plus it reduces the chance of toe overlap on smaller sizes.

Big Tire Clearance
Comes with big 700x37c tires for grip and comfort, but has room for up to 40mm tires with tons of clearance. You can even put on 650 wheels with 48mm tires if small and fat is your thing.

Dropper Ready
Built to accept an internally-routed 27.2 dropper seatpost, which shouldn’t really be a surprise on a bike that's this off-road capable.

LockR Pivot
Thru-axle pivot locks the left and right seat-stays together, preventing independent rotation for a solid feel and instantaneous response.

Fender Up
Fully fender ready. A removable fender bridge on the rear stays is there when you need it, gone when you don't.

Speed Release Equipped
Speed Release thru-axles offer the stiffness and solid feel of a thru-axle, with the easy use of a quick release axle. Compatible with most thru-axle wheelsets.

Easy Internal Cable Routing
With our DirectLine cable routing, an internal tube guides the cable and housing through the frame, from entry to exit for headache-free service
