[R]eviewed // Cannondale Jekyll ‘2’

Feb 2022 · Blake Nielsen

There are a lot of model names that have remained and evolved in different bike brands’ line-ups year after year, but certainly no other single model has delivered as many outrageous and truly ‘left of field’ frame designs over the years as the Cannondale Jekyll.

Cannondale Jekyll Review | A striking enduro bike that takes a balanced approach to the high pivot hype

Dec 2021

The Cannondale Jekyll is a 165mm travel enduro bike that has boldly jumped onto the high pivot bandwagon for 2022. Along with its hidden shock, idler wheel and shape-shifting paint job, this is no doubt a thoroughly striking machine. But is different better? Read on for our Cannondale Jekyll review.

Highs
  • Beautifully balanced handling

  • Gobs of traction & high-speed stability

  • Scaled rear centre sizing

  • Reliable shifting & powerful braking

  • Gorgeous iridescent paint job

Lows
  • Dropper post is too short

  • Needs a tougher rear tyre

  • Stock wheels are cheap

  • Rocks can bounce around in the shock cavity

Cannondale Jekyll 1 review

Sep 2021 · Robin Weaver

Cannondale has done a great job with the Jekyll. It’s stable, composed and seriously quick, but a better set of wheels would elevate its performance even further

Highs
  • Great geometry

  • Super stable and composed

  • Solid spec that’s ready to be raced

Lows
  • Wheelset could be better as rims are easy to ding and spokes can lose tension

  • Rocks can find their way into the shock cavity
