2014 Cannondale Trail and Trail SL Bikes Are Packed Full Of Features

2014 Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS: Proof That A Great Riding, Long Lasting Bike Doesn't Have To Break The Bank

After years of racing on the World Cup, Cannondale has trickled features down from it's high-end bike models all the way to the Trail and Trail SL bikes. Available in both 26" and 29" models, there is a Trail for every rider.

The frame and fork are both alloy and are finished in a way that surpasses expectations at this price point. Instead of using horizontal dropouts to keep the correct tension, the Trail SL frame instead uses an eccentric bottom bracket.

Cannondale has included their proprietary Helix 6 hydraulic disc brakes, a TruVativ E-400 crank and a square taper bottom bracket. It comes with tubeless-ready Stan's ZTR Rapid rims and Schwalbe Racing Ralph Performance tires.

The 700mm riser bar and sensibly-sized stem hint at the Trail SL being a playful bike.

1.5” HEAD TUBE on TRAIL SL
    As an upgrade over Trail, our Trail SL line gets a 1.5” head tube which increases front end stiffness for better steering and control.

SMOOTH WELDS
    Trademark double-pass smooth welds showcase Cannondale’s aluminum frame mastery. Since we don’t patch fill with putty and paint, our process eliminates the stress-risers and weak points found on traditionally welded frames, enabling us to build lighter, stronger frames everywhere in the line.

SAVE STAYS
    Optimized seat stay and chain stay shaping provides vertical compliance for a more comfortable ride with no loss in lateral rigidity.
  
29’ER RACE GEOMETRY
    Like the F29, the Trail SL 29 and new Trail 29 have super short chainstays, a relatively low BB and steep head angle, which give them point-and-shoot handling and a lively feel, but with the stability and roll-over-anything ability of bigger wheels.

ALL NEW FRAME FOR TRAIL
    For 2014, the Trail gets a new lighter weight frame. In addition to a more refined look, it features a 27.2mm seat post for lighter weight and better trail vibration damping.
