The new Cannondale Trigger and Jekyll bicycles were showcased recently in Cadiz, Spain, which is home to some of the world”™s best off-road bicycle terrain. Both were described as redesigned from the ground up.
The company is based in Wilton, where it opened a new headquarters last year.
“The 2015 OverMountain series highlights some of the world”™s best riding technologies ”“ DYAD and SuperMax,” said Bob Burbank, Cannondale”™s global general manager. “The Trigger and the Jekyll were developed for uncompromising mountain bikers ranging from weekend warriors to hyper-competitive Enduro racers. These riders want bikes that get them to the top of the climb efficiently, but also allow them to bomb down the other side.”
With input from Enduro World Champion Jerome Clementz, the Jekyll was completely redesigned with brand new geometry, new SuperMax front suspension, 27.5-inch wheels, and a new “Fox DYAD rear shock tune with increased travel (160/95mm).”
The 2015Â Trigger brings what the company terms “unmatched versatility to the all-mountain/trail category.” In a statement, Cannondale said, “The all-new Trigger offers two bikes in one for the best all-around mountain riding experience possible.”
“During the development process, there is nothing like feedback from the greatest athletes in the sport. They go harder than anyone else and can really put our products to the test,” said Burbank. “This interaction helps our engineers develop the best bikes in the world.”
