Bike of the Week 17: 2011 Cannondale Trail SL 29′er 4

$720… that’s it. It seems as though for 2011 the “29′er tax” is gone. Cannondale makes a 26″ wheeled equivalent to this model, so there is actually a comparable choice at the same price! I’ve discussed the pros and cons of 29′ers in previous posts but here’s where the facts come in. Cannondale has put together a remarkable big wheel ...

I’m very excited about a number of the 2011 bikes, but the really stands out. It comes equipped with lots of new products and technologies.

You’ve probably heard about the whole 29′er thing. The basic idea is this: mountain bikes have had 26 inch wheels almost since they were invented decades ago. A small niche started growing over the past few years based on the premise that bigger is better. Larger diameter wheels carry momentum and roll over small bumps better than smaller wheels do. ...

Bike of the week 12: 2010 Cannondale Scalpel 3

Scalpel is a long time name in the Cannondale family. With many national and world championships under it’s belt, the Scalpel is the winningest full suspension bicycle in history. This year’s Scalpels featured 100mm of pivotless travel on the rear, resulting in very efficient climbing, but has plenty of plush travel for the fast descents. Those that have ridden a ...
