No two bike riders are the same. Some take riding very seriously and train constantly to become the best they can be, and some just like to have some fun on the weekend now and then. There are also people who have a favorite bike park or cross-country trail, and people who like to switch it up and try different things.
The Cannondale Jekyll, as the name indicated, is for those who want the best of both. It can handle the long and winding trails as well as the fast and furious tracks that bike parks offer.
Options?€¦We Like Options!
The Jekyll series bikes have some great options to handle your different riding personalities. The DYAD RT 2 Dual Shock System and a linear to progressive link leverage ratio make it a very capable and trustworthy machine when it comes to handling tracks and trails, up-hills and down-hills.
You also won't have a lot of play in the links and pivots because of their Enhanced Center Stiffness Torsion Control, helping you to steer efficiently and economically. That is a great feeling of confidence knowing that your machine will responds to your command.
Strength and Stealth
With two choices of frames, Ballistec Carbon or SmartForm Alloy, the Jekyll is so light and easy to handle, yet it can take a pounding. We all love to throw caution to the wind sometimes and just let it rip on some gnarly jumps and turns, but often we're afraid that the bike won't take it very well so we baby it a little. Well you don't have to anymore, just go ahead and tear it up, because whatever you can serve up, the Jekyll doesn't disappoint.
Here is a price rundown of the Jekyll series:
The Jekyll Ultimate lists at $7,999, the Carbon 1 is $5,499, and the Carbon 2 is $4,249. The Jekyll's 3, 4 and 5 will run from just over $4,000 to under $3,000.
They are not your typical off the rack set of wheels you get at the discount store, but for those who don't mind spending some extra dough to get something that will last and give them a thrill whenever they ride, you won't go wrong choosing a Cannondale.
First Over the Line!
If you're looking for a bike in a certain weight range, as you've been shopping you might have seen some manufacturers listing the actual weight of their machines online. While this can give you a general idea of the weight, it is very often not as accurate as you might hope for. Cannondale does not list weights due to the fact that welds and paint thickness can result in inconsistent actual measures. If you race then you understand the importance of weight as it can be the difference between your treads being the first ones over the line or someone else's.
In summary, there are a lot of good bikes out there to choose from. You can be confident when purchasing a Cannondale Jekyll, or other model, that you'll get what you pay for and they will stand behind their product.
