First Rides: Cannondale F-Si hardtail & Lefty Ocho fork on a World Cup XC course

May 2018 · Cory Benson

Before the World Cup XC racing in Albstadt, we put in some first rides on Cannondale's next gen carbon XC hardtail & its all-new single crown Lefty fork. Built as an ultimate hardtail for steep & technically challenging modern courses, we turned some hot laps on the World Cup track, riding with the bike's design team.

Cannondale F-Si Alloy 1 review

Sep 2016 · Guy Kesteven

The top metal F-Si is an impressively fast yet controlled and fatigue-free flyer. Buy if you favour alloy over carbon and enjoy racing rough, rocky trails on a forgiving ride

Highs
  • Impressively smooth and speed-sustaining yet efficiently quick frame, the Lefty fork is stiff, accurate and well damped

Lows
  • OK but not outstanding component selection, even with alloy frame

  • Specific front wheel and metal, QR axle frame limit upgrade potential
