Cannondale Trail SL 5 '12

Cannondale Trail SL 5

The Trail SL5 is your introduction to the wonderful world of Cannondale mountain bikes. Cannondale optimise the Trail SL5’s frame to such a degree they can claim that at 1.6kg, it’s among the lightest alloy MTB frames in its class.

• The frame’s SAVE (Synapse Active Vibration Elimination) seat stays and chain stays help tame the rear triangle.
• Shimano Altus shifters and mechs offer dependable gear shifting.
• Promax mechanical disc brakes.
• Moving the brakes from the mud and rain-attracting wheel rims to the relatively clean hubs makes for an improvement in the brakes’ all-weather all-conditions performance.
• Disc brake pads are much harder so they last much longer so they require less frequent adjustment than V-brakes.
• So do the rims now that they are no longer being worn down by the brake pads.
