Cannondale Trail SL 3 Women's '12

Cannondale Trail SL 3 Women's

True XC race geometry ride.

As an alternative to the trend towards ‘new school’ slack-angled geometry trail bikes such as Whyte 801s and Giant Talons, a Cannondale Trail SL’s geometry boasts the classic 73? seat / 70? head angles that has dominated XC racing for the past 25 years. No wonder these bikes are appreciated by roadies dipping their toes into XC racing.

• Cannondale tell us that the Trail SL is the lightest 6061 alloy women's-geometry MTB frame at this kind of price.
• Its oversized 1.5” head tube contributes to Cannondale’s trademark point-and-shot steering, yet the 2012 Trail SL frame is 200g lighter than previous versions.
• The frame's rear SAVE (Synapse Active Vibration Elimination technology) stays help tame the rear end.
• The reliable RST fork has lock-out.
• The Shimano Alivio Rapidfire 27-speed transmission is upgraded with a Shimano Deore rear gear.
