Product news: Two dampers on the rear triangle! Will Cannondale (r-)evolutionize the downhill bike in this way?

April 24, 2019 by the editorial team

Product news: The rumor mill has been buzzing about the new downhill mountain bike from Cannondale for a long time. The Americans have now released a first video showing the new downhiller. The special feature, two dampers on the rear triangle. You can already guess what possibilities this brings with it from the comments of the team riders and test drivers.

 



“Downhill is the ultimate testing ground – a place that demands relentless innovation, fearless determination, and a touch of creativity. For Cannondale, downhill racing is a kindred spirit, an attitude that has consistently pushed the boundaries. Returning to the sport after a decades-long hiatus, Cannondale brings new knowledge and a fresh approach. We’re here to test, here to learn, and here to ride.” – Cannondale
