29-Inch Wheel (29ers)

The new Turbo Levo Expert takes all of the “get gnarly” attributes of our newest trail bikes—like perfectly-tuned kinematics, a true Trail Geometry, and an optimally-stiff frame—and adds in cutting-edge tech the likes of which the e-MTB world has never seen. We're talking a new custom motor, a higher-capacity battery, and much, much more. So yeah, it gives you the power to ride more trails, but it does so in a way that's better than we ever could have ever imagined. - The Turbo Levo frame is constructed with a FACT 9m carbon fiber chassis and an M5 Premium Aluminum rear-end, making it not only lightweight but also stiff and responsive. The design includes our 29 Trail Geometry that includes a low bottom bracket, lengthy top tube, and short chainstays. Kinematics of the frame have also been perfected, along with rider-tuned stiffness. Cable routing is all internal, including that of the Command Post IR, while the battery is fully integrated into the down tube, while the minimalist motor is mounted in a more secure, lighter way. - The custom Specialized 2.1 Rx Trail-tuned motor is more efficient, 15% smaller, and 11% lighter than its predecessor. This successfully places it at the top of e-bike motor technology. It has many other features that no other e-bike can touch, like instant engagement, fantastic heat management, a double freewheel design that disengages the gearbox when you hit top speed, and silent, smooth, and consistent output—even at max power. - This Turbo’s new Specialized M2-series battery features a 700Wh capacity, providing you with 40% more capacity and range, and even more power to ride more trails. It, of course, still seamlessly integrated inside the frame and is easily removable, too.

Cannondale's best XC hardtail just got better. If going really, really fast on dirt in lycra is your cup o' tea, nothing lets you top 'em on the climbs and drop 'em on the descents like the F-Si. The F-Si Carbon 2 features Cannondale's BallisTec Carbon frame with stiffness-enhancing Si offset. The Lefty Ocho fork features no-bind needle bearings and extreme stiffness for pinpoint steering, now with a single crown design. Hollowgram 23 superlight high-impact carbon rims keep this rig at fighting weight, while the Schwalbe Racing Ray tires fly over hardpack and dig into sketchy corners. SRAM's X01 drivetrain serves up 12 wide-ranging speeds, and gets it power through a carbon TruVativ crankset, resulting in efficient power transfer and crisp, precise shifting to give you the advantage on every part of the course. Shimano XT brakes provide ruthless and reliable braking power when you need it, so you can carry more speed and brake at the last possible second. Cannondale's carbon seatpost and handlebar, paired with a titanium-railed Fabric Scoop saddle, keep you in control while adding almost no weight, ensuring that your race rig is sleek, lean, and ready to win.

If you're ready to take your trail riding to the next level, let us introduce you to your new friend, the Rockhopper Pro 29 with a one-by groupset. We built it to be light, durable, and exceedingly capable, but how we did it is far more interesting. It starts with our new A1 SL alloy frame that features Boost QR 141 spacing, internal cable routing, and optimized tube shapes that save weight and give clean lines to the frame. Lastly, our Sport XC 29 geometry adjusts the reach, angles, and standover height to make for an improved fit across the size range. This is sure to keep you ripping and confident while heading both up and down the trail. This Rockhopper comes spec'd with Shimano SLX 1x shifting that's simple and worry-free, powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes that'll stop on a dime, and a grippy combo of a Ground Control front and Fast Trak rear tires that deliver superior control over almost any kind of terrain. - The frame is constructed from lightweight A1 SL Aluminum in order to provide a compliant, durable platform to support our acclaimed XC Sport 29 Geometry. Combined, you get a bike that's more than efficient on climbs and descends just as well. - A RockShox Recon RL fork offers 80/90/100mm (size-specific) of plush, trail-taming travel, and stiff 32mm stanchions. - When set up one-by, the Shimano SLX shifting makes it nearly impossible to drop a chain. Of course, you still get the clean, crisp shifts that Shimano is known for, too.

A race hardtail like no other. Designed to let you out-kick them on the climbs and out-rip them on the descents, this ultralight rocket is your ticket to the top of the podium. Equipped with the Lefty fork, you'll out-corner, out-steer, and out-handle the competition, again and again. Get insane traction with super short chainstays, without being limited to 1x set-ups or sacrificing mud clearance. Cannondale also equips the F-Si with fit-focused wheel diameters to achieve the best possible fit for all riders. With SRAM's XX1/X01 Eagle 12-speed drivetrain and SRAM Level TLM disc brakes, you'll race uphill and carve back down with expert precision. A carbon Cannondale bar, super fast HollowGram carbon rims, and tacky Schwalbe Rocket Ron EVO tires create a slick, race-ready hardtail package that's undeniable and distinctive both on the trail and off.

With its progressive geometry, impressive construction and high-end features, the Trail offers unreal performance and a killer value.

Short chainstays give the Trail an agile, nimble feel and provide great traction on steep climbs. With Shimano hydraulic brakes, a reliable 1x drivetrain, and tubeless-ready wheels, the Trail 3 is ready to rock.
