Rides like a Cadillac , smooth ! Great bike for long open trails with plenty of notice before turns .
Cons:
With just one front shock the left turns vs right turns felt different . Fast down hills with quick tight turns this bike ain''t . More suited for Arizona . When going fast , I don''t have time to think left ? Right ? and the difference in compensation of the two .

This thing is unique with one shock ! Took this bike to Augusta''s Forks Area Trail System FATS to see just what all the talk was about . This bike did not do very well in EPIC surroundings . Need full set of shocks , actually the bike needed all the shocks it could get .

Pros:
great gearing (smooth), very light, great brakes
Cons:
the left fork at times feels unbalanced
Time Used:

Comments:
the design of the bike created alot of pedal bob, and the gas suspension does not handle anywhere near as well as spring suspention. extremely light and durable, great for cross country although the left fork feels unbalanced when jumping

So far i am very happy with the new frame and design. have not ridden to hard yet so hopefully and should hold up. this is my 4th mountain bike from cannondale and will never change to anyone else. it is a great full suspension bike which replaced the jekyl.
