Composed, capable and a lot of fun to ride. Better wheels would make the high price tag easier to handle, though
Great geometry
Balanced suspension
Composed when it counts
Wheels could be better for the money
Spec works well enough but certainly isn’t flashy considering the price

Jumps well
Proportional Response geo

Slow climber
Shock tuning access is tricky

High-pivot mountain bikes are becoming commonplace but the Jekyll's performance is anything but.
Rides light
Carries its speed well
Lively, nimble enduro machine
Adding a coil improves diversity
A race bike with everyday riding manners
Stock wheels
Stock air shock can have it feeling skittish in loose situations
Shock adjustments are hard to reach

There's never been a better Cannondale
Bump control
Pedaling efficiency
No more proprietary shock
Potential for increased drivetrain wear
Keeping the drivetrain clean is critical
Lockout lever on shock is hard to reach

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.
Beautifully balanced handling
Gobs of traction & high-speed stability
Scaled rear centre sizing
Reliable shifting & powerful braking
Gorgeous iridescent paint job
Dropper post is too short
Needs a tougher rear tyre
Stock wheels are cheap
Rocks can bounce around in the shock cavity

Size-specific suspension? A high pivot suspension design with 'Guidler' pulley? Big travel? Big wheels? The new Cannondale Jekyll looks good.
