New angle, rides smooth and feels better
I compared this bike with the Trek Marlin, Giant Talon and Diamondback Overdrive. The Cannondale Trail stood out among them. It felt more comfortable and my confidence was higher because of it. If you're looking for a starter bike and don't want to make the jump above $1,000 to get better components then this is probably the direction to go this year.
The best bike for what you pay !
I have had many different bikes and for the price you are paying which is now on sale for $454 it is really worth it. the only thing which makes it a little bit weak compared to Giant Talon 3 is the brake system which is not using hydrolic oil and it is kind of regular disk system. The other things are great and I am very happy with this bike !
