2021 Cannondale Jekyll 1 Bike

Feb 2022 · jonathon Simonetti

High-pivot mountain bikes are becoming commonplace but the Jekyll's performance is anything but.

Highs
  • Rides light

  • Carries its speed well

  • Lively, nimble enduro machine

  • Adding a coil improves diversity

  • A race bike with everyday riding manners

Lows
  • Stock wheels

  • Stock air shock can have it feeling skittish in loose situations

  • Shock adjustments are hard to reach

  • Big wheel roll-over without big wheel sluggishness

Lows
  • May be too normal for vanguard riders

  • Fussy shock tune

  • Some may be put off by the Gemini remote
