The Cannondale Trail is your first-class upgrade to next-level mountain biking—engineered for fun by a brand trusted by Champions.
Trail 1 blends Cannondale’s 50 years of alloy expertise with modern trail capability. The SmartForm C3 alloy frame delivers a ride that’s light and responsive, while the SR Suntour XCM35 fork with 100mm travel (80mm on XS and Small sizes) takes care of the bumps so you can focus on the fun. Shimano’s CUES 10-speed drivetrain makes shifting smooth and reliable, and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes bring confidence to every descent. With a 130mm dropper post for instant seat adjustments, Trail 1 is proof that decades of innovation can deliver first-class performance, one ride at a time.
What it's for: Trail riding, light commuting, bopping around town, and having a blast.
FEATURES:
- Light, Fast, Built to Last: Cannondale’s C3 alloy frame delivers an easy-to-handle and sporty ride that feels zippy and fun. Lightweight and built to last — kind of like that one pair of jeans you can’t stop wearing (if your jeans came with a lifetime warranty).
- Shifting Made Simple: Ditch front derailleur and the clunky front shifters. The 1x drivetrain lets you focus on getting rad, not fiddling with gears. With fewer moving parts, it ensures smooth, reliable shifting for effortless climbs and descents.
- We’ve Got Your Back(side): Comfortable, confidence-boosting geometry and responsive handling mean more smiles per mile, whether you're cruising or charging.
- 29” wheels on the larger sizes, 27.5” wheels on XS and Small for the best blend of fit and speed
- A hidden kickstand mount, plus mounts for a rack and fenders, offer true do-it-all versatility
