Details
Cannondale’s Jekyll Carbon 1 gets you down the mountain hysterically fast with a light, stiff, and tough full-carbon BallisTec frame that arrives at the bottom begging to do it again. And you will, too, with 165mm of Fox Factory X EVOL-guided travel in back and 170mm more up front, courtesy of Fox’s buttery Factory Float 36 fork. Together, they make easy work of gnarly descents where the only break you get is the climb back up. Since we’re talking about climbing, the Jekyll is no slouch in the uphill department, either, with a switch-on-the-fly rear suspension that offers Hustle Mode for tenacious efficiency. Put the power to the 12-speed SRAM X01/XX1 Eagle drivetrain via a Descendant carbon crankset, and you’ll gain elevation as fast as you drop the competition. Meanwhile, SRAM’s flawless Guide RSC brakes modulate precisely, so you can negotiate any trail with dialed control. This rig’s Maxxis Minion EXOs eat loose trail for breakfast wrapped around Cannondale’s incredible HollowGram 30 wheels that spin up like they’re not even there while standing up to unwavering speed through the chop. So, jump on, slam the RaceFace Turbine dropper post, and flow this trail beast straight to victory.
