The Cannondale Trail SE 1 Mountain Bike delivers a genuinely versatile ride across any off-road terrain from sinuous singletrack to technical downhill runs and anything in between by seamlessly fusing several advanced design traits with accurate and dependable components.
The frame is realised in SmartForm C2 alloy that naturally infuses reactivity and efficiency while keeping the chassis weight low. Innovative SAVE tuned, dropped seatstays are integrated into the frame design, and these donate comfort and increased accuracy across rough terrain thanks to their metered levels of vertical compliance. The RockShox 35 Gold RL fork complements the frame by using its plush 120mm of travel to cushion bumps and increase accuracy across even the most technical of tracks.
A balanced geometry bestows a perfect blend of steering reactivity and composure for sinuous singletrack and technical descents while the big circumference, 29" wheels roll with increased speed across any root, rock or rut. These wheels are shod with broad, grippy, tubeless-ready tyres that supply multi-surface traction and increased puncture resilience.
Gear changes are courtesy of the dependable SRAM SX Eagle set up that possesses a wide range of ratios to combat the difficulties of any terrain while hydraulic disc brakes are powerful and precise in any conditions. A dropper post completes the build by bestowing extra control on technical downhills.
