Cannondale Trail 1 (2025)

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.
