Lightweight and stiff frame construction
Excellent traction and control on varied terrain
Innovative Asymmetric Integration drivetrain

Drop your heels, let go of the brakes and the way it seems to melt serious drops into nothing is truly phenomenal

Review: All of a sudden it just appeared out of nowhere: the Cannondale Jekyll 29! We quickly put one to the test on the trails.

The 29-inch Jekyll promised to offer the support and stability we wanted more of in its small-wheeled sibling. And it did, but in a decidedly conservative, trail-oriented package.

Great geometry and handling for Enduro riding.
Simple and more user-friendly suspension.
Built to survive the toughest stages.
Suspension isn't supportive if you favour a plush setup with more sag.

Excellent geometry and kit plus unique shock create a crazy-fast enduro ripper. Buy if you want sorted shape, pert/plush performance with metal wheel toughness
Gemini shock system allows instant switching between super-plush speed or a tighter, more dynamic ride
Long-stretch/slack-head geometry, wide/short cockpit and XL front tyre create a massively confident front end
Excellent tough trail spec
Weight is pretty chunky for a medium-size £5k bike
Limited DIY tuning potential of the linear-feeling rear shock

Most of that is the result of the Gemini-equipped Fox rear shock which adjusts its travel from 130-165mm and changes its spring rate with the press of a button.
