I have always been a Cannondale fan so I did a lot of research before purchasing my first EBike. I currently have the Cannondale Carbon Team. I am 47 years old and I used to be able to ride 20+ miles with 2000'+ of climbing no problem, but it was getting harder and harder. It made me not want to ride. This bike CHANGED that and I am back to being addicted to Mt. Biking. Here are my thoughts: Pro -Easy to ride -Makes climbing hills a breeze. I ride in "Tour+" mode which can go about 40 miles if I am doing a lot (2000'+ of climbing) -Riding position is nice and low, keeps the bike very stable -Bike absorbs the bumps, rocks, etc with ease -Bike comes with all of the gadgets I love including dropper post, appropriate amount of travel for anything that flows trails can throw at me, but also has no problem handling the big drops and that out in Brevard, NC -Overall I LOVE this bike Cons (these are minor, but worth mentioning) -I upgraded brakes. I am 190 lbs, plus the 50 lbs bike. I felt like they were really struggling if I went hard into a turn -I upgraded the rear wheel to an Industry Nine hub. As is true with almost any (off the rack bike) the engagement of the rear wheel is OK, but once you ride a bike with almost immediate engagement, you never look back -I am a tech nerd and I can NOT figure out why I should download the Cannondale app even though there is a LARGE sticker on the top tube advising me to do so. Overall this is an AMAZING bike and am SOOOO glad I got it. You won't be disappointed.
