This document provides information on several mountain bike models from Cannondale, including full suspension and hardtail models for cross country, trail, and enduro riding. It describes the Lefty and SuperMax front suspension systems, which are lighter, stiffer, and stronger than competitors. Several models are highlighted, including the Trigger 29 that can adjust travel from 80mm to 130mm, and the Jekyll that adjusts from 150mm to 90mm. The Scalpel 29 is described as a featherlight cross country bike with a Lefty fork and BallisTec carbon construction.

LEFTY
Manuel Fumic -Cannondale
Factory Racing - Finale Ligure, ITA
LIGHTER
At 1332 grams and 1850 grams respectively, the
Lefty Carbon XLR and SuperMax Carbon are over
300 grams lighter than their competitors.
STIFFER
Their unconventional design give them stiffness
comparable to the burliest freeride forks, while
weighing less than any competitor. Lightweight
efficiency with heavyweight control.
STRONGER
Gram for gram, Lefty and SuperMax are the
strongest forks in the world. Even our lightest
forks go head to head in destructive testing with
forks designed for much more abusive riding.
Cross-Country weight meets All-Mountain tough.
SMOOTHER
The heart of the Lefty, 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.
LESS MAINTENANCE
Lefty and SuperMax require around half the
regular maintenance of the competition, so you’ll
spend less time servicing, and more time riding.
Superior suspension performance
through unconventional design.
Hybrid Needle
Bearing System
Where other forks bind, Lefty shines, thanks
to its proprietary needle bearing assembly.
Smooth suspension action under any load.
OPI Lower Leg/Axle
The One-Piece-Integrated lower leg
and tapered axle are forged from
a single piece of aluminum for
incredible strength and stiffness.
Inverted Design
Like racing motorcycle forks, the larger
diameter fork tube is on top, the best
arrangement for fighting flex and
increasing strength
Dual Integrated Crowns
Dual Crowns distribute loads more evenly
for a stronger and stiffer fork
XLR/PBR Dampers
Available with either XLR remote lockout,
or PBR push button lockout for out-of-the-
saddle hammering.
Crazy Light
Almost a pound lighter than its
competitors AND it’s stiffer and smoother?
Sounds crazy and, well, it is. Crazy good.

SuperMax
Ben Cruz in Alsace, France
The Bigger, Badder Lefty.
With the SuperMax We constantly found ourselves intentionally taking
the worse lines (ruts, flat-edged rocks, off cambers) in corners just to see
if we could detect a weak spot…we couldn’t!
—Mountain Bike Action
Hybrid Needle
Bearing System
For maximum control, SuperMax’s
proprietary needle bearing assembly keeps
the suspension smooth , no matter how
hard you brake, corner or land.
60mm Offset
SuperMax’s 60mm offset achieves
the Holy Grail of long travel 29ers
- stable handling at speed and
responsive steering when things
get tight and technical.
Inverted Design
Inverted design is not only stiffer and
stronger, it’s also better lubricated. Gravity
holds lube against the seals and bearings
for longer life and smoother action.
Dual Integrated Crowns
Stiffer and stronger than single crown
set-ups.
Massively Oversized
The SuperMax’s lower leg is 36mm in
diameter, while the upper leg measures a
whopping 46mm for maximum stiffness
and steering precision.
Bigger. Badder.
SuperMax has stiffness and strength that
rivals DH forks, yet is lighter than most all-
mountain forks.

SuperMax with custom offset, and you get a bike so good, it’s crazy…

BALLISTEC CARBON /
SMARTFORMED ALLOY
Using fibers developed by the military
for ballistic armoring, this high-strength
carbon construction process yields a
frame that’s lighter than aluminum and
pound-for-pound stronger than steel. The
alloy versions use our ultra sophisticated
SmartFormed aluminum construction for a
frame that’s strong yet light.
ECS-TC SYSTEM
Clamped 15mm thru-axle in the
swingarm pivot and double bearings
seat stay pivot eliminate flex for
unmatched responsiveness and control.
LEFTY SUPERMAX
With its off-the-charts torsional rigidity, the
SuperMax brings unheard-of levels of steering
precision to longer travel 29’ers. The unique
60mm offset improves both high speed stability
and low speed agility - perfect for Trigger 29’s
full-throttle attitude.
TRAVEL
80mm to 130mm on-the-fly adjustable
rear travel / 130mm front travel.
DYAD RT2
The world’s only true 2-in-one shock.
DYAD’s dual modes allow you to completely
change travel, damping and geometry on
the fly for the best possible performance
across the widest spectrum of terrain.

SUPERLIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN
Ultra light BallisTec Carbon or SmartFormed Alloy
frames with the System Integration of the Lefty
fork, OPI stem/steerer and Hollowgram SL cranks
deliver complete bike weights our competitors
can only dream of.
ZERO-PIVOT SEATSTAYS
The seatstays are designed to flex vertically
while remaining extremely stiff laterally and
torsionally. This enhances suspension perfor-
mance without affecting power delivery.
ECS-TC SYSTEM
A clamped, 15mm thru-axle in the shock
linkage eliminates flex and play, pro-
viding unmatched center-stiffness for
optimum control and steering precision.
29’er RACE GEOMETRY
The combination of a steeper-than-average head
angle and super short chainstays gives the Scalpel
29’er a similar wheelbase and trail to our 26’er
bikes for ultra sharp, responsive handling.
