Perfect for Trail riding, light commuting, bopping around town, and having a blast.

Key Performance Features

Light, Fast, Built to Last

Cannondale’s C3 alloy frame delivers an easy-to-handle and sporty ride that feels zippy and fun. Lightweight and built to last — kind of like that one pair of jeans you can’t stop wearing (if your jeans came with a lifetime warranty).

Shifting Made Simple

Ditch the front derailleur and the clunky front shifters. The 1x drivetrain lets you focus on getting rad, not fiddling with gears. With fewer moving parts, it ensures smooth, reliable shifting for effortless climbs and descents.
