Overview

Time to Level Up!

The Cannondale Trail is your first-class upgrade to next-level mountain biking—engineered for fun by a brand trusted by Champions.

Model Description

Trail 1 blends Cannondale’s 50 years of alloy expertise with modern trail capability. The SmartForm C3 alloy frame delivers a ride that’s light and responsive, while the SR Suntour XCM32 fork with 100mm travel (80mm on XS and Small sizes) takes care of the bumps so you can focus on the fun. Shimano’s CUES 10-speed drivetrain makes shifting smooth and reliable, and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes bring confidence to every descent. With a 130mm dropper post for instant seat adjustments, Trail 1 is proof that decades of innovation can deliver first-class performance, one ride at a time.

What it's for

Trail riding, light commuting, bopping around town, and having a blast.

Highlights

A lightweight, durable SmartForm C3 Alloy frame
29” wheels on the larger sizes, 27.5” wheels on XS and Small for the best blend of fit and speed
Bump-eating SR Suntour XCM32 Boost fork with 100mm of travel (80mm on XS and Small sizes)
Shimano CUES U6000 10-speed shifting - wide range gearing with the simplicity of a single front chainring
A hidden kickstand mount, plus mounts for a rack and fenders, offer true do-it-all versatility

Time to Level Up!

Light, Fast, Built to Last

Cannondale’s C3 alloy frame delivers an easy-to-handle and sporty ride that feels zippy and fun. Lightweight and built to last — kind of like that one pair of jeans you can’t stop wearing (if your jeans came with a lifetime warranty).

Shifting Made Simple

Ditch front derailleur and the clunky front shifters. The 1x drivetrain lets you focus on getting rad, not fiddling with gears. With fewer moving parts, it ensures smooth, reliable shifting for effortless climbs and descents.

We’ve Got Your Back(side)

Comfortable, confidence-boosting geometry and responsive handling mean more smiles per mile, whether you're cruising or charging.

Features

1x Drivetrain

Say goodbye to clunky front shifters and hello to riding like a boss. With one less lever to worry about, you can shift your focus to enjoying the ride.

Dropper Post Equipped

Instant seat adjustments to raise, lower, repeat. It’s the ultimate cheat code for conquering the ups and downs.

StraightShot Internal Cable Routing

Keeps your bike looking fresh and your cables out of harm’s way, making maintenance easy to use and hassle-free.

Hydraulic Disc Brakes

Consistent and controllable stopping power in all conditions.
