The Americans Cannondale have revised their all-mountain and enduro range and are producing the successful models trigger and Jekyll in the future to 27,5 inches.
Trigger 650B
The new trigger has been completely revised compared to the previously available 26-inch version. The Travel has been increased to 140 millimeters, with the bike also having a climbing mode of 85 millimeters available. The travel concept is borrowed from the 29er version. At the rear, a thru-axle should provide more rigidity. The cable routing for the telescopic seat post runs in the frame. All other cables are routed to the Unterruhr.
The inclination of the head tube has also been changed. this now has 68 degrees and correlates with the 73,5 inclined seat tube.
The 650B version of the Trigger replaces the previously available 26-inch version. The sizes and prices of the individual models:

Jekyll 650B
Also the Jekyll has been revised. While it previously had 150 millimeters of travel, it now has 160 millimeters more at 10 millimeters. The climbing mode is 95 millimeters.
The seat angle of Jekyll is a steep 74,9 degrees. This contrasts with a steering angle of 67 degrees. The idea behind this is that the rider should have an aggressive pedaling position without sacrificing stiffness and speed control. One of the inspirations was Enduro World Series winner Jerome Clementz, who along with his teammates Ben Cruz and Mark Weir influenced the development of the new Jekyll.
