The affordable superbikes.
Some of the most critically acclaimed bikes we make, our Trail and Trail SL
bikes are packed full of features trickled down from years racing on the World
Cup. They are proof that a great riding, long lasting bike doesn’t need to
break the bank. Available in both 26” and 29” wheel options, there’s a Trail
for every rider.
TRAIL IS:
- Race-inspired technology and features derived directly from their more expensive siblings.
- Lightweight and reliable.
- Incredible performance. Remarkable price.
TECHNOLOGIES
- 1.5” HEAD TUBE on TRAIL SL
As an upgrade over Trail, our Trail SL line gets a 1.5” head tube which increases front end stiffness for better steering and control. - SMOOTH WELDS
Trademark double-pass smooth welds showcase Cannondale’s aluminum frame mastery. Since we don’t patch fill with putty and paint, our process eliminates the stress-risers and weak points found on traditionally welded frames, enabling us to build lighter, stronger frames everywhere in the line. - SAVE STAYS
Optimized seat stay and chain stay shaping provides vertical compliance for a more comfortable ride with no loss in lateral rigidity. - ALL NEW FRAME FOR TRAIL
For 2014, the Trail gets a new lighter weight frame. In addition to a more refined look, it features a 27.2mm seat post for lighter weight and better trail vibration damping.
