Make no compromises, Cannondale’s Jekyll Carbon 2 soars up the climbs and charges the descents.
It’s all thanks to the extremely strong, light Ballistec HI-MOD carbon frame that boasts Fox's revolutionary DYAD rear shock that allows you to choose between 160mm or 95mm of travel to best suit the demands of the trail and your style of riding. Adjusting the travel also changes the geometry, and it's all done by a bar-mounted lever. The front suspension is just as revolutionary, a 1.5-inch head tube keeps the 160mm Cannondale Left SuperMax Carbon fork on your chosen line. Since this enduro sled lets you climb as well as you descend, the fast-shifting, 20-speed SRAM/Shimano drivetrain with stiff SRAM cranks and BB30 bottom bracket has the power to crush every hill, up and down. Other trail-dominating components include Shimano's unbeatable XT brakes, a descent-enhancing KS Lev dropper post, and tubeless-ready Mavic Crossroc wheels that help you to push the Jekyll to the max.
From Cannondale.com - "The most successful Enduro platform in the world evolves into an all-new race weapon with the 2015 Jekyll. Working with Enduro World Champion Jerome Clementz, we made his winning bike even winning-er with all-new geometry, SuperMax front suspension, a new Fox DYAD
rear shock tune with increased travel, and of course, 27.5” wheels. You
don’t have to be Jerome to appreciate its perfect-for -Enduro dual
nature - you just have to want the most versatile all-mountain bike out
there."
TECH
SuperMax is LIGHTER
Weighing
in at a scant 1850 grams, the SuperMax 160 is lighter than any of its
competitors but what truly sets it apart is its insane stiffness. With
rigidity and strength that rivals downhill forks, no other
Trail/All-Mountain fork steers as precisely, or descends as confidently
as the SuperMax. The only thing bending here is your mind.
SuperMax is STRONGER
Gram for
gram, SuperMax is the strongest fork in the world. They punch way above
their weight class, going head to head in destructive testing with
full-on freeride and DH forks. Cross-Country light meets DH tough.
SuperMax is STIFFER
SuperMax’s
massively oversized inverted dual-crown design give it stiffness
comparable to the burliest downhill forks, while weighing the same as
some XC forks. Light weight efficiency with heavyweight control.
SuperMax is SMOOTHER
The heart
of the SuperMax, Cannondale’s patented hybrid needle-bearing technology
keeps the suspension moving freely, regardless of load. Even under the
hardest braking, impact, and steering forces, the wheel is able to
track the ground fluidly for maximum control.
New guts. Now even smoother.
SuperMax
PBR Trail/Enduro Damper – The new 2015 damper features a new Wide Mouth
Piston which increases oil flow, resulting in improved small bump
sensitivity and high speed plushness. These improvements will be
especially evident on mid to high speed small, sharp bumps and
chatter/braking bump terrain. Low speed compression damping is
maintained for optimal chassis stability and minimized pedal bob/brake
dive.
SuperMax is LESS MAINTENANCE
The new
sealed hybrid bearing system is so robust that it requires around half
the regular maintenance of the competition. With its long service
intervals and completely replaceable wear-parts, you'll spend less time
and money servicing, and more time riding.
Wheel-Size-Specific Axle Offsets
Instead
of relying on front suspension companies for off-the-shelf products,
we’re able to tailor our forks specifically for each bike platform,
creating the most optimized front end geometry and handling possible.
SuperMax features wheel-size-specific axle offsets – 60mm on SuperMax 29
and 50mm on SuperMax 27.5, both 10mm longer than their competitors.
This increased offset combined with OverMountain’s slack head angles
offers the best combination of high speed stability and low speed
agility and cornering. The effect is so significant that one magazine
reviewer called the Trigger 29 with Supermax "nothing short of
revolutionary".
Wide Flange Hub
The new SuperMax Lefty hub features wider flange spacing which allows increased spoke angle for a stronger, stiffer wheel.
ECS-TC
(Enhanced Center Stiffness-Torsion Control)
Double Clamped 15mm Thru-axles
The ECS-TC system uses 15mm thru-axles for the key pivots. By placing axle bearings in-board and clamping the ends of the axle, the axle becomes a structural part of the link or swingarm. Tying the two sides of the link or swingarm together via the axle in this manner radically increases the system’s ability to resist twisting loads.
Collet Sleeve Bearing Preload
Rather than rely on spacers or washers to take up the space between the links and bearings like other systems, the ECS-TC system has an innovative collet-style preload system. Sitting between the clamp and the axle, the collet sleeves slide into place against the bearing, eliminating any play and allowing perfect centering of the link.
Double-Stacked Rear Dropout Pivot Bearings
At the rear dropout, where the wheel prevents the two pivots from being joined by an axle, we double-stack two bearings side by side in each pivot. This greatly increases the seat stays ability to instantly resist twisting loads, making for an incredibly solid feeling swingarm.
