      What I meant to express was I wouldn’t be comfortable riding this bike due to the lapses in geometry , such as the chainstay which would undoubtedly affect my train of thought when on the trail .

      Seafarer Scott makes bikes that just work, are light, and reliable. Cannondale spends all their time on making a bike that is overly complicated. It might look cooler. But does it? Wouldn’t it be cooler to ride a bike that world champions ride?

      Lighter? To be this weight you'll need to add some 1500€ to the price. You can buy this one for 31000-3500€. In Scott, for the same price range you buy a bike at least 1,5kg heavier.

    It's like the current epic, fake four bar linkage with a flex stay. Compromised suspension for the sake of a light weight frame, definitely should not be referred to as down country in any way.
    Geo numbers are the same as the Scott spark that came out 4 years ago. 🥱

    Nice bike, but good luck if you need support from Cannondale. Have been riding Cannondales since 1999. Now have a 2018 Scalpel Carbon 3. Rear hub failed in March. Have been trying to get parts support from Cannondale since. No response, and when they did response the information was wrong. Sad state of once iconic US bike company.
