Welcome to the Bike Junkie’s Bible II - The Book of Mountain.
Ride hard! Sell well! Enjoy!
Since day one, Cannondale has made the most innovative mountain bikes in the world, always
with the goal of creating the best riding bikes possible. Nothing matters more in a mountain
bike than how it rides. The fit, weight, suspension, stiffness, geometry, and parts all combine to
deliver what you feel on the trail. We stop at nothing to make the ride the very best it can be. It’s
this pursuit that has led us to create paradigm-busting technologies like the Lefty, Hollowgram
cranks and the DYAD RT2 shock.

Since 1983, Cannondale has been making the most technologically advanced, best riding
bikes in the world. We made the first production suspension mountain bike, the E.S.T., back
in 1991. That’s over 20 years of full suspension development experience! If there is one
thing we’ve learned over those 20 plus years, it is that great bikes are born when we go
racing. From the winningest team of all-time, the Volvo-Cannondale team in the 90’s to the
Cannondale Factory Racing, Sho-Air and OverMountain teams today, our athletes inspire us
to make bikes that enable them to perform to their best.

CANNONDALE
TECHNOLOGIES
MOUNTAIN BIKE TECHNology
Cannondale mountain bikes are engineered to be the lightest, strongest, stiffest bikes out
there, which makes them the fastest on the mountain.
We design them from a total performance
perspective where the goal is to design an
entire bike to be the best performing,
lightest, strongest bike in its category.
We call it “System Integration.” You will see the “Si” logo on various components of our bikes.
For example, our Lefty front suspension which includes the super-light, super- strong and
stiff Lefty unit, a LEFTY-specific steerer tube and a light weight, one piece, investment forged
(OPI) stem. The entire Lefty system is lighter, stiffer and stronger than a separate fork-stembar assembly could ever be.
These Cannondale innovations make our Scalpel, Jekyll, Trigger and Flash fantastic rides and
the leading edge of MTB technology. They also bring the performance of our Trail and Trail SL
bikes to a level unknown in their price category.
Read through this Bike Junkie’s Bible II - The Book of Mountain. Read what others say about
how Cannondale mountain bikes handle and ride as many of our mountain bikes as you can.
Then you’ll understand - and be able to explain to your customers - why Cannondale mountain
bikes are the best available.
LEFTY
Lefty solves the equation that puzzles conventional forks:
how to be light, stiff, smooth and strong - all at once!
No other front suspension combines
high stiffness, low weight, smootHNESS
under load, durability and strength
as Lefty. None!
So, on a Lefty, you will ride faster, smoother and with
greater control than any conventional fork.
Don’t take our word for it. Here’s what Pua Mata of the
Sho-Air/Cannondale mountain bike team had to say after
her first Lefty ride:
“I was excited, but at the same time,
beyond skeptical. I mean, have you ever
taken a look at the Lefty? …The stability
and stiffness was like no other…for all
of these years that I have been riding and
racing mountain bikes, I had the belief that
I never experienced any flex in my fork…
and it took the Lefty to point out how wrong
I was. I had been experiencing it and it
was this first ride, on this bike that I was
actually NOT experiencing it … let me just
say that I think I’m in love.”
Here’s why Lefty is the best…
and Pua is in love…
KEY LEFTY TECHNOLOGY
LEFTY IS LIGHT
As light as a cross-country fork, as tough as beefy, all-mountain forks. With LEFTY, you ride
further - and faster - because you’re pushing less weight.
LEFTY IS STRONG
Lefty’s dual clamp design, with the larger shock tube mounted above the smaller one, spreads
loads along the full length of the steerer tube, making the entire structure stronger. Even the
lightest LEFTY equals conventional - and heavy - dirt-jumping forks in destructive testing.
Dual Crown
Inverted Design
With the larger, stiffer fork
tube on top where it can
more effectively fight flex
and add strength, and dual
crowns connecting it solidly
to the headtube, the Lefty’s
unconventional design is
simply the lightest, stiffest,
strongest way to build a fork.
A conventional fork’s big, beefy tubes, brake arches and oversized axles are all attached to a
single point: the bottom of the steerer tube - via a stout (heavy) crown. All of that weight and force
are transmitted up through the bottom of the steerer (necessitating more bulk and weight).
LEFTY IS STIFF
The inside of Lefty’s tubes are square. That square-in-square structure virtually eliminates
twisting flex to provide instant steering response, sure-footed handling and more confidence
on technical single-track. Conventional round-in-round tube fork structures are inherently
flexy. To reduce flex they use massive brake bridges, oversized axles and beefy single crowns
- all of which make them heavy (and slow).
square-in-square design
The needle bearing races
form a square-in-square
interface between the
inner and outer fork legs,
preventing the two tubes
from rotating relative
to each other like the
round-in-round design
of traditional forks. This
contributes to Lefty’s
precise handling.
LEFTY IS SMOOTH
Lefty’s square-in-square tube design is supported by low-friction needle bearings which
provide smooth rolling that sliding bushings simply cannot match. It’s like the difference
between pushing your hand across a table top and rolling it over on a couple of round pegs
(try that). When the rider is at the limit, hard on the brakes and counting on precise steering
and bump absorption to stay on the trail…that’s where Lefty’s needle bearings shine and
conventional forks bind.
LEFTY IS EASY
The inverted, sealed design keeps the bad stuff (like water and dirt) out and the good stuff
(like oil) in. It doubles Lefty’s service intervals vs. the competition so you can spend more
hours on the trail, making LEFTY easy to live with and ride, often.
Lefty is the smoothest, most precise front suspension available. It needs to be ridden to be
believed. Try one. You’ll be in love and so will your customers – just like Pua!
lefty w/ Hybrid NeedleBearing technology
Hybrid NeedleBearing System
Friction-free needle-bearings
provide unmatchably smooth
suspension under all loads,
while the lower glide bearing
provides additional support
for improved stiffness and
steering precision as the fork
moves through its travel.
Durathon Sealing System
A comprehensive internal
and external sealing system
keeps the good stuff in
and the bad stuff out,
allowing for more than
double the time between
recommended services
than our competition.

SETTING UP LEFTY
FOR A TEST RIDE
To help a potential customer really understand the magic of Lefty, it is important to set the
sag to give them the best ride possible. Just follow the tables below…
SETTING SAG:
Sag is the distance the LEFTY compresses when the bike is statically loaded with your body
weight in your riding position. Set it according to the LEFTY travel. Sag is set by changing the
air pressure through the Schrader valve at the bottom of the LEFTY.

DYAD
Developed in partnership with Fox, DYAD is the heart of Cannondale’s OverMountain bikes,
Claymore, Jekyll and Trigger. DYAD’s Elevate and Flow modes optimize the bike for either
climbing and screaming across flat trails or descending at high speed and with confidence
by optimizing geometry and providing the right travel and shock for the terrain ahead - all at
the flip of a switch. DYAD makes our OverMountain bikes truly all-mountain.
Switch the dyad to elevate mode to climb:
- The Elevate chamber is engaged
- Shock travel is reduced
- The spring rate becomes steeper and more progressive for snappier pedaling response
- Head tube angle is steeper for quicker steering response
- BB is higher
- Rider weight is centered
In Elevate mode, you are in position to attack climbs and fast trails.
Switch the dyad to Flow mode to descend:
- The Flow chamber is engaged
- Shock travel is increased
- Spring rate becomes plush and linear
- Head tube slackens
- BB drops
- Rider weight is moved rearward
DYAD. One shock, two modes and the ultimate
all-mountain rides… at the flip of a switch.

SETTING UP DYAD
FOR A TEST RIDE
For a customer to really feel the dramatic changes DYAD brings to riding, it is important that
you take a couple of minutes to set up the system for their weight.
RECOMMended air pressure:
DYAD RT2 shock sag best performance range is 33%-40% of total travel. The table below
contains values for this target range. If, after setting sag, you find that you want more or less,
choose the next lighter or heavier rider weight range from the table.

Rebound controls the rate at which the rear wheel returns after it has absorbed input from
the trail. The proper rebound setting is an issue of personal preference and varies with rider
mass, riding style and conditions. A basic rule of thumb is to set rebound to be as quick as
possible, without kicking back and pushing the rider off the saddle. To set rebound:

ESC-TC SYSTEM
The Enhanced Center Stiffness - Torsion Control (ECS-TC) system is the key to OverMountain’s
incredibly responsive ride. ECS-TC removes the flex and play from the links and pivots that
connect the front triangle and swingarm.
Eliminating that flex results in a bike that responds instantly to inputs from
the rider giving maximum performance, control and connectedness.
Bikes with ECS-TC are renowned for giving their riders an instant feeling of familiarity and
high confidence under all conditions because bikes with ECS-TC respond instantly and
precisely to rider input.
Three components make
up the ECS-TC SysteM:
15MM CLAMPED THRU-AXLES
By clamping the shock link and swingarm directly to oversized thru-axles, the
axle itself becomes a structural element
preventing twisting flex.
DOUBLE PIVOT BEARINGS
Placing two bearings side by side in
the rear pivots eliminates twisting play
in the cartridge bearings for instant
responsiveness.
WIDE STANCE BEARINGS
All links have the bearings placed as far
apart as possible to maximize stiffness.
About ECS-TC Joe Parkin, Editor of Bike, said:
“Because the rear end is so stiff (thanks to ECS-TC) that
it’s really easy to feel how the rear wheel is behaving...I
am as comfortable riding the Jekyll as I am wearing a
well-worn pair of Levis.”
HOLLOW BOX SECTION
Hollow Box Section - Large I-Beam construction creates a super
lightweight, thin-walled linkage. This link adds increased
torsional rigidity to the rear suspension, giving the rider
better pedaling efficiency and more precise cornering. Like
the ECS-TC System, the Hollow Box Section works to better
connect the rider to the bike and the bike to the mountain.
System Integration (Si)/One Piece
Investment Forging (OPI)
System Integration is a core Cannondale philosophy in
which components are literally designed to integrate with
the structure of the bike to provide lower overall weight and
enhanced stiffness. A great example of System Integration
is our OPI stem. It is investment forged out of a single piece
of aluminum and provides a super-stiff, ultra-light linkage
between your hands and the front wheel.
21
BallisTec Carbon Fiber Construction
bb30
BallisTec Carbon Fiber construction lets us create bicycles that are incredibly light, torsionally
stiff (resistant to twisting) and strong.
BB30 is the lighter and stiffer crank standard that Cannondale introduced to the bicycle industry at the Tour de France in 2000. By moving from the traditional small diameter steel BB
spindle to an oversized hollow aluminum spindle, we made the crank significantly lighter and
stiffer. By eliminating the external BB cups and housing larger bearings inside an oversized
BB shell, we reduced the weight and increased the stiffness.
Rather than keep a great thing to ourselves, we
released the BB30 standard freely to the industry
so that everyone could benefit from a lighter,
stiffer, more efficient system.
BB30 is so light and tough, the same cranks used in our elite road bikes are also found in
our top mountain bikes.
the precise layup and strength of ballistec makes our
speed save and zero pivot seat stays possible
Once a new BallisTec frame design has passed all of our extremely tough destructive and
fatigue testing, we enhance its stiffness and feel through the use of even stiffer high- and
ultra-high-modulus fibers. The end product is a frame that is super light and tuned perfectly
for torsional and vertical rigidity.
BallisTec construction also yields Cannondale frames that, even though they are ultra-light,
are more durable than most aluminum frames as well.
SmartFormed Alloy
At Cannondale, we have spent thirty years perfecting the aluminum bicycle. SmartForming is a
combination of processes and techniques that allow us to tightly control tube shapes, wall thicknesses, internal transitions, material integrity and welds. It allows us to put material exactly
where needed for stiffness and strength while eliminating every last unnecessary gram of material.
Nobody else comes close to our
level of expertise in aluminum
Taper butting and smooth welding help eliminate stress risers so we can build lighter, stronger
frames. Different combinations of processes are used for different frames, depending on need.
SAVE Micro-Suspension Technology
SAVE technology absorbs vibration. Trail vibration reduces wheel traction, compromising
speed, handling precision and fatiguing the rider. The SPEED SAVE in our carbon F29’ers use
specific carbon fiber layups and flattened chainstays to create a micro-suspension system
that improves the rolling of the tires along the ground and increases rear-end stiffness for
more precise handling and greater power transfer. We do the same shaping with our alloy
F29’er to achieve the same micro-suspension action.
The shaping of SAVE chain and seat stays is a very clear
visual cue for you to use when walking a customer
through a SAVE-engineered Cannondale frame
When you “jump” on the pedals of a SAVE-engineered bike, that force is transmitted to the
rear wheel, driving you forward! On a SAVE-engineered bike, you’re in for one smooth - and
fast - ride whether in carbon or aluminum.
SmartForming is manipulation of the tubes through:
Hydroforming
Mechanical Shaping
Double Pass Welding
Swaging
Airforming
Taper Butting
3D Forging
SmartForming allows us to put aluminum only where we want it, to shape it, and to finish it
with smooth, strong welds, allowing the bike to be as light as possible, as strong as
it has to be and finished like the piece of fine sculpture it is.

MATCHING RIDERS TO
CANNONDALE BIKES
MOUNTAIN bike riders come in all shapes,
sizes, levels of experience and desire
but they all want the same things:
To ride faster up the climbs
To ride more precisely through technical trails
To descend with greater confidence
Cannondale mountain bikes are unequaled in their ability to provide what riders want. Helping a customer find their perfect new Cannondale mountain bike is a matter of understanding
their level of experience, assessing their riding form and budget and helping them select the
Cannondale bike(s) that fit those factors.
Asking just a few questions and listening carefully to the answers will help you and your
customer find the right Cannondale bicycle:
What kind of riding do you want to do with your new bike?
Where do you ride?
With whom do you ride?
WHAT ARE YOU RIDING NOW?
As you listen to your customer, you will learn the type of riding they want to do and develop a
sense of their experience level. Now you will be able to match them with the Cannondale that
delivers the ride of their dreams.
As you introduce your customer to the Cannondale you have selected, it is important to walk
through the features engineered into the platform and explain their benefits. It is even better if
you have ridden the Cannondale you have selected - and others in the same category - so you
can speak to its individual ride qualities with first-hand experience. Most importantly, have your
customer ride it. That way, they will find their perfect ride and be happy they came into your store
and spoke with you.
HOW TO TEST
A MOUNTAIN BIKE
No matter how many great things a customer may have heard or read about a bike, no matter
how much their riding buddies have said, the truth is in the riding. Only by riding the bike
will they feel how it accelerates, handles, communicates the trail surface, climbs and fits.
Setting up your customer for a
great test ride is as easy as
1, 2, 3:
Adjust the bike to fit
Set-UP the suspension according to their weight
with the Cannondale Suspension Setting App
(available in the App Store AND AT Google Play)
Send them out to ride…
When they come back in love with the bike, focus on the model level (that will determine
the overall weight of the bike and the performance of the components - like drive train and
brakes) and their budget. The model grids for each bike in the back of this booklet will help
you with that.
Happy selling!

front fork and a RockShox Reverb seat post.

FULL SUSPENSION
We introduced the industry’s first production full-suspension
bike, the Cannondale E.S.T., way back in 1990. That means
we’ve been building dual-suspension mountain bikes for
longer than a lot of our competitors have even been in
business. Those decades of experience show in designs
like the blisteringly fast Scalpel 29’ers and ultra capable
RZ One Twentys. Light weight, superb efficiency and plush
suspension all in perfect proportion.
“The plush suspension, laterally stiff frame, big wheels and
balanced geometry make this bike a riot to pilot through rock
gardens, carve through tricky corners and jump over logs and
other trail features - the Scalpel 29’ER is a genuinely fun bike
to ride both inside and outside the tape.”

RIDING essentials
As you close the sale of each Cannondale mountain bicycle, you will want to make sure
that your customer has everything they need to enjoy their new ride. In fact, it is part of the
professional service you are providing.
it is your responsibility to make sure that
they have everything they need to ride
safely and to handle incidents...
...like flats while out on the trail and basic maintenance, such as cleaning the chain, adjusting
suspension, air pressure and basic lubrication.
Cannondale makes a full line of riding
essentials ranging from helmets to saddle
bags to PUMPs. Here’s a quick list of what
your customers will need:
HELMET
WATER BOTTLE CAGES
SADDLE BAG WITH
- Multi-Tool
- Patch Kit
- Tire Boot
- Tire Levers
- Tubes
BIKE COMPUTER-GPS
MINI TIRE, FLOOR AND AIR SHOCK PUMPS
LIGHTS
They will also need their Cannondale Owner’s Handbook and Warranty/Registration Card.
Additionally, check their current helmet for proper fit. Over 80% of helmets are worn incorrectly (too far back). While you are checking it, make sure that the foam in their helmet has
not “gone soft.” Helmet foam that has gone soft has degraded and will no longer offer full
protection to the wearer.
When you sell a Cannondale, you are putting your customer on the most advanced production
bicycle in the world and you are helping them find their ultimate ride. Have Fun!
