Cannondale Trail 1

It's time to raise the bar!

The new Cannondale Trail is your first-class upgrade to next-level mountain biking, designed for fun by a brand trusted by champions. Trail 1 combines Cannondale's 50 years of aluminum expertise with today's off-road demands. The SmartForm C3 aluminum frame offers a light and responsive ride, while the SR Suntour XCM32 fork with 100 mm of travel (80 mm in sizes XS and Small) takes care of the bumps so you can focus on having fun. The Shimano CUES 10-speed drivetrain makes shifting smooth and reliable, while Tektro hydraulic disc brakes ensure safety on every descent. Equipped with a 130 mm dropper post for quick saddle height adjustment, the Trail 1 proves that decades of innovation can deliver first-class performance, one ride at a time.

Lightweight, fast, built to last
Cannondale's C3 aluminum frame offers easy handling and a sporty, responsive, and fun ride. Lightweight and built to last, much like that pair of jeans you can't stop wearing (if your jeans came with a lifetime warranty).

Simplified shifting
Eliminate the front derailleur and its awkward controls. With a single chainring drivetrain, you can focus on having fun without wasting time fiddling with gears. With fewer moving parts, it ensures smooth and reliable shifting for effortless climbs and descents.
