A smooth-riding, future-proof frame with good trail manners and a solid spec as a starting point
Smooth-riding frame
Reliable Deore drivetrain with good chain control
Frame has upgrade potential
Fairly traditional XC shape could limit progression
Fork spring rate isn’t easily adjustable
Rattly internal cable routing

How much difference can 20mm of travel make?

May 2020 · Bobby Lea
Fast enough for XC races and big enough to rip descents
Lightweight frame with modern geometry
Non-racers may want knobbier tires

The all-new Cannondale Scalpel comes in 100mm and 120mm travel versions, both using the same frame., and gets lighter & more capable with a new suspension!

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.
Frame has excellent feel and ride quality...
But it’s also too tall and lacks stand-over clearance
