Cannondale Trail SL 3

The Cannondale Trail SL 3 makes a more than suitable first mountain bike while also being a very good choice for riders with some experience.

Sophisticated frame and good fork
The modern aluminium frame of the Cannondale Trail SL 3 has a sophisticated geometry which ensures good handling. It makes the bike agile and direct to steer, while at the same time providing plenty of stability at higher speeds on descents thanks to the relatively flat head angle of 68 degrees. Thru-axles, boost fit for more stiffness, internal cable routing, and dropper post ready - it's all there. Also, the 29er-specific frame is beautifully finished and even has mounting points for a carrier and a stand to make it suitable for everyday use. This makes the Trail SL 3 very versatile. Add the smoothly responding Rockshox Judy suspension fork, which ensures control on uneven surfaces and great steering precision, and you have a bike with a very solid basis.

Fine equipment
For the equipment of the Trail SL 3 Cannondale has chosen Shimano's fine Deore 1x12 speed groupset, with which shifting is always fast and smooth. The 11-51 cassette provides a particularly wide range to be able to tackle even the steepest climbs. And when going downhill you can rely on the pleasant and powerful Shimano MT200 hydraulic brakes to bring you to a safe and controlled stop.

Well-balanced
Thanks to high-quality components such as an FSA handlebar, Cannondale's own Ergo XC saddle and grips, seatpost and stem, the Cannondale Trail SL 3 is completely balanced.

If you're a mountain biker looking for a modern and attractive bike suitable for XC trails and more, the Cannondale Trail SL 3 is a more than logical choice!
