CO2 increases, new cannondales

HARDTAIL: CO2

A trail bike? A utilitarian commuter? Call it want you want, because the CO2 series serves a variety of riding needs and showcases Cannondale's aluminum heritage without the sticker shock.

Sometimes bikes have to fulfill multiple
roles, like getting to class on time and
handling trails in the exclusive Huron
Mountain Club during a Saturday
poaching session. Enter the CO2.
Competent performance, excellent value,
all-purpose build.
:
Whether riders just go around the block or
ride across the country, the comfort-giving
properties of the CO2 hourglass seat stays
help cushion harsh trail feel and provide
exceptional power transfer.
Cannondale’s engineers design each tube
shape to maximize performance. On the
PowerPyramid, the tube wall is thicker
at the head tube junction for impact
resistance, while the oversized, thinner
wall diameter at the BB shell resists
torsional flex.
:
Cannondale’s trademark double-pass
smooth-welded technology virtually
eliminates the stress risers possible on
machine-welded frames and gives the
frames a finished, handcrafted aesthetic.
We know alloy frame manufacturing better
than anyone else. After all, we’ve been at
it longer than anyone else. That’s why the
Trail SL uses double-butted tubing for an
increase in frame strength and stiffness
with no weight penalty.
The Trail uses the OnePointFive Standard
head tube. The oversized design is part
of our belief in System Integration, which
simultaneously lightens and stiffens the
frame. Stiffer frames steer better.
