Cannondale Trail SL 2

for the rider with some experience, this is a very good choice.

Thoughtful frame and good fork
The modern aluminium frame of the Cannondale Trail SL 2 has a sophisticated geometry that ensures good riding characteristics. It makes the bike nimble and increases its handling, but at the same time gives great stability at higher speeds on a descent thanks to the relatively flat 68-degree headtube angle. 148 x 12 thru axles for more stiffness, internal cable routing and dropper post ready. It's all there. The 29er-specific frame is also nicely finished and even has attachment points for a carrier and a stand to make it suitable for everyday use if necessary. This makes the Trail SL 2 very versatile. Together with the smoothly responsive air-suspended Rockshox Judy front fork, which provides control over bumps and plenty of steering precision, you have a very solid bike base.

Perfect equipment
For this bike, Cannondale has opted for the Shimano Deore 1x12 speed groupset with SLX derailleur. This allows you to change gears smoothly and hassle-free at all times. Thanks to the 11-51 cassette, you have a particularly long range to tackle even the steepest climbs. And on descents, you can always rely on Shimano's powerful MT400 hydraulic brakes. This will bring you to a safe and controlled stop.

Correct whole
Thanks to quality components like an FSA handlebar, Cannondale's own Ergo XC saddle and grips, seatpost and stem, the Cannondale Trail SL 2 is completely balanced.
