Featuring a potent blend of attributes the Cannondale Trail SE 3 Mountain Bike promotes an enthused and precise ride across a full spectrum of off-road terrain no matter its technicality or severity.
Responsiveness for lively climbing and nimble cornering is catered for by the lightweight and laterally stiff SmartForm C2 alloy frame. The seatstays of this frame have a dropped format and are also tuned via Cannondale’s SAVE micro-suspension format to help level irregular surfaces and increase rear wheel traction under power. Joining the frame in unison is the RockShox Judy Silver TK fork that increases trail accuracy and reduces fatigue markedly thanks to its 120mm of plush travel.
The 29" wheelset rolls with stunning efficiency thanks to its larger circumference reducing the strike angle of the biggest rock and roots littered across the trail. This composure is matched by the balanced frameset geometry that also donates agility for technical cornering. Riding across any topography is facilitated by the wide-ranging and crisp changing Shimano Deore gear setup. Shimano also provides the hydraulic disc brakes that stop with composure under any weather condition.
The ride is completed thoroughly by the dropper seatpost that can be lowered in an instant to supply extra control on fast and technical descents.
