Cannondale Trail 8

Cannondale Trail 8 Overview

The Cannondale Trail 8 is a trail mountain bike built with a light and durable SmartForm C3 Alloy frame, SR Suntour M3030 suspension fork, and a 7-speed drivetrain with double chainring cranks. It is made for low-impact trails, gravel roads, leisurely rides, handling, and durability.

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, and a BSA-73 bottom bracket. The SR Suntour M3030 coil fork provides 75mm travel with 42mm offset for 27.5″ setups and 46mm offset for 29″ setups.

For shifting, the bike uses a microSHIFT M26L rear derailleur, microSHIFT Dual Pull Compact front derailleur, microSHIFT 7-speed shifters, KMC Z7 chain, Prowheel 36/22 crank, and Sunrace 11-34 7-speed rear cogs. Tektro mechanical disc brakes with 160/160mm rotors handle braking. The wheel system includes Formula QR hubs, WTB SX19 rims, stainless steel spokes, and WTB Ranger Comp tires. A 6061 alloy cockpit, Cannondale Dual-Density grips, Cannondale Stage 3 saddle, and Cannondale 3 alloy seatpost complete the build.
