Great Beginner Bike
2 years ago
My boyfriend and I just picked up our bikes yesterday. We are really happy with our purchase! It's a great starter bike. We rode it for a bit with no problem. The only thing we recommend is getting a new seat or a padded cover. I found the seat pretty uncomfortable. Especially, after quiet a bit of riding.. I'm also new at riding, so it could be a mixture of both. I'm thinking of getting a wider seat. Overall, it's a great price and it's good quality. We're trying to get our relatives to join. Haha. Our plan is to do trails once I get used to it.

Excellent entry level MTB and all around cruiser
1 year ago
Awesome entry level MTB. 1x drivetrain, and easy to run dropper post, hydraulic brakes. I upgraded tires, but not sure if that was necessary. Just my preference. Bike was shipped to REI a day early which was awesome. They did a final purchase tune up right in front of me. Would 100% recommend and buy another bike. I got the bike on sale which made this even better

I great bike to get back into riding!
11 months ago
A great bike to start riding again! Hadn't ridden a bike in five years and after surgery I wanted to get healthy again. This is my first experience with 29" wheels and at first the bike felt like I was trying to ride a monster truck. This bike rolls over any terrain with ease and feels very comfortable as I am a larger rider at 6' 2" just under 300 lbs. Initially I was concerned about the quality of components and my size but the bike is holding up better than expected. As most riders do I did change out the saddle. My only gripe is because of the 29" wheels the XL frame sits a little taller and therefore the stand-over height is higher than what I would expect for a mountain bike. This is not a deal breaker as I do not plan to ride challenging bike trails but mostly XC single track and other surfaces. Things I like: 1. A great buying experience and excellent customer service! The bike shop folks are super helpful! 2. The bike feels large which is great for a rider like me. 3. Keep It Stupid Simple 1X drive train! Built for climbing! 4. Easy to use bike tracking app from Cannondale!

Great but I’m confused…

I really like this bike. No words! Amazing quality. I just a bit confused that we didn’t get any rewards after purchase such an expensive item. Just $0. I’m confused about REI policy 🤷

Size way down!
2 years ago
Didn’t even get to try the bike, so I guess my review is more for the size chart. Based on the chart, I need a medium. Neither my husband (5’9”) nor I (5’6”) could fit on this bike. I don’t know what we missed here, but it is huge.
