Cannondale Trail 5 review - MBR

Jul 2019 · Paul Burwell

The Cannondale Trail 5 is a new addition to the £750 category and features a Smartform aluminium frame, which is one of the most comfortable here.

Highs
  • Frame has excellent feel and ride quality...

Lows
  • But it’s also too tall and lacks stand-over clearance

Cannondale Trail 4 review

Sep 2016 · Guy Kesteven

Good looking, comfortable and fast but hits big bumps hard and feels twitchy on more technical trails. Buy if you want a great frame at a value price and plan to use your bike off of the trails as well as on them

Highs
  • Good looking alloy SAVE frame that’s noticeably more comfortable than most at this price. Fast tyres and rack mounts make it a useful weekday workhorse and Shimano gears are dependably durable

Lows
  • Narrow bar, long stem, wooden feeling brakes and skinny tyres all undermine technical trail confidence. Straight steerer RockShox XC30 fork is adequate but certainly not amazing for the price

Trail Test: The Cannondale F-Si Carbon 2, an entry model with top specs for tearing up the XC course

Oct 2015 · Canadian Cycling Magazine

A brand’s base model of a bike line usually shows cost-saving choices throughout its spec. Often the frame material and production process are altered as well.
