Trust approaching the limit
Don’t hesitate when others slam the brakes. The 66.5° slack head angle gives the stability and control needed to dominate descents. Brake late. Turn decisively. Conquer descents.
Stay centered
Proportional Response chainstays and the vertical seat tube angle keep you centered between the wheels for better traction and more powerful pedaling on climbs, with more control on descents.
Lefty Advantage
The softest, most precise, ultralight 100 mm suspension fork available. Its longer offset adds agility to an ultra-stable front end. Better control, more speed.
Control the terrain
Flex zones in the chainstays work with the lower stays to absorb vibrations and reduce impacts, increasing control, smoothing the terrain, and reducing fatigue. Ride more aggressively. Ride faster. Push your limits.
*LEFTY OCHO*
Simply the most advanced, smooth, precise, ultralight XC suspension fork we’ve ever made. 100 mm travel. Friction-free thanks to needle bearings. Unmatched control.
*OUTFRONT HEAD TUBE*
The extra Lefty axle offset provides more security and stability on technical terrain, while maintaining the quick and lively handling of demanding XC.
*PROPORTIONAL RESPONSE GEOMETRY*
Frame geometry is size-specific, including chainstay length. Keeps the rider centered between wheels for incredible traction and handling.
*SLACK HEAD ANGLE*
The 66.5° slack head angle delivers confidence on fast or steep descents that other XC bikes can’t match.
*FEEL THE LIGHTNESS*
With a frame weight of only 895 grams, this bike loves climbing. And climbing. And climbing.
*CONNECTED*
The integrated wheel sensor tracks your activity (speed, distance, calories burned), registers your bike, reminds you of maintenance, and much more, all via the Cannondale app.
*CONVERTIBLE CABLE STOPS*
The internal cable routing system allows full housing for maximum weather protection, or interrupted housing with exposed cable sections for weight savings.
