Cannondale Trail 1 Overview

The Cannondale Trail 1 is a trail mountain bike built with a SmartForm C3 Alloy frame, SR Suntour XCM Boost fork, Shimano CUES U6000 10-speed shifting, and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes. It is made for trail riding, light commuting, bopping around town, and having a blast.

The frame uses SmartForm C3 Alloy construction with SAVE, a 1-1/8″ headtube, post mount disc brake setup, StraightShot internal cable routing, dropper post compatibility, a BSA-73 bottom bracket, and a KickFlip hidden 18mm 2-bolt kickstand mount port. Wheel sizing is matched by frame size, with 27.5” wheels on XS and Small and 29” wheels on Medium, Large, and XL.

The SR Suntour XCM Boost coil fork provides 100mm travel on 29” builds and 80mm travel on 27.5” builds.
