Cannondale Moto 5. It's a fact of riding: to descend more, you have to climb more. No worries, you've got Cannondale's Moto 5. It rocks a light aluminum frame with RockShox' Domain fork with U-Turn so you can crank the 160mm down to 115mm for the climbs. Out back, Fox supplies their renowned Float air shock to suck up the hits. Sun SingleTrack rims guide you up and down any trail, any time while you effortlessly click through your SRAM/Shimano gears. With all this power, you need speed control and contact with the ground (when you're not airing it out) that won't let you down so you've got Hayes Stroker brakes and aggressive Maxxis tires. Now go get some.
Cannondale's Motos utilize their proprietary Hatchet Drive floating-shock system that offers 160mm of super-smooth travel. If you’re into going big, this sweet suspension absorbs drops and jumps with ease, while still staying super efficient for those epic jaunts into the backcountry. The design also reorients shock forces in two directions for better force dispersion, and – because the shock actuates from two directions – it breaks seal stiction faster, too.
You'll enjoy the ultimate in steering precision and control with Cannondale's massive Diablo head tube. It's found on all of their Moto models.
