Review: 2019 Cannondale Jekyll 29-1

Feb 2019 · Richard Cunningham

The Jekyll 29 marks the final step that Cannondale needed to bring their flagship enduro racer to its potential.

Highs

Tested: Cannondale Jekyll 2 | $6,000

Aug 2018

The Jekyll stands out on the descents because of its short chainstays and ground-hugging suspension. It stands out on the climbs because of its secret weapon, the Gemini shock, which makes it potentially the best climber in the bunch.

Cannondale Jekyll 2.0 Review : Jekyll Or Hyde, You Decide!

Apr 2018 · Thomas Corfield

We first featured the new Cannondale Jekyll back in April ‘17 and described it as a real, ‘Marmite’ bike with a split personality you either loved or loathed. After 10 months of ripping the knobblies of a Jekyll 2.0, did we discover the results of a mad professor’s evil experiment or a gene-splicing ride of […]

Tested: Cannondale Jekyll 2

Sep 2017

We think it was the right call. Cannondale’s mountain bikes have been crying out for an injection of practicality and rider-first design, and with Jeremiah Boobar (the man …

Highs
  • Great geometry and handling for Enduro riding.

  • Simple and more user-friendly suspension.

  • Built to survive the toughest stages.

Lows

Cannondale Jekyll 2 review

Aug 2017 · Guy Kesteven

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

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • Weight is pretty chunky for a medium-size £5k bike

  • Limited DIY tuning potential of the linear-feeling rear shock
