Cannondale Trail SE 4 review

May 2021 · Alex Evans

A smooth-riding, future-proof frame with good trail manners and a solid spec as a starting point

Highs
  • Smooth-riding frame

  • Reliable Deore drivetrain with good chain control

  • Frame has upgrade potential

Lows
  • Fairly traditional XC shape could limit progression

  • Fork spring rate isn’t easily adjustable

  • Rattly internal cable routing

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
