2022 Enduro Shootout: Cannondale Jekyll

Nov 2022

It may be a high pivot and a Cannondale, but there’s nothing too strange about the way the Jekyll performs, it’s fast, fun and intuitive

Highs
  • High pivot benefits with few of the drawbacks

  • Great support through turns and off jumps

  • Rewards committed riding

Lows
  • Requires committed riding to perform

  • Challenging shock adjustment

Cannondale Jekyll 2 review

Jun 2022 · Robin Weaver

Composed, capable and a lot of fun to ride. Better wheels would make the high price tag easier to handle, though

Highs
  • Great geometry

  • Balanced suspension

  • Composed when it counts

Lows
  • Wheels could be better for the money

  • Spec works well enough but certainly isn’t flashy considering the price

  • 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

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.

As someone that has followed Cannondale’s journey through MTB over the years […]

Cannondale Jekyll 1 – In our big enduro bike comparison test 2022

Dec 2021 · Peter Walker

High pivot rear suspension, “Guidler” and a unique shock position. Without a doubt, the new Cannondale Jekyll is one of the most eccentric-looking bikes in our “Best Enduro Bike of 2022” group test! But how does it stack up against the competition?

Highs
  • Intuitive handling

  • Suspension performance

Lows
  • Background noise and climbing efficiency

  • Shock is hard to access

  • Dirt accumulates between the down tube and plastic cover

  • Spec needs upgrades
