Cannondale trail 7 bike review. 2015 cannondale trail 7 pros. The cannondale trail is a great bike for getting into the sport of mountain biking. In this cannondale trail review we look at all the models in the range including the women s specific bikes. Price wise cannondale trail 7 can be compared to cannondale quick cx 4.

Straightshot internal cable routing for an integrated look and easy maintenance the shift and dropper post cables route cleanly through the straightshot window in the down tube while the rear brake line is secured outside the frame. For example this hardtail bike has a coil powered sr suntour fork with 100 mm of travel. No support from cannondale strongly urge you to steer clear and buy a more reliable wal mart bike to save. Bought two medium and large both had major rear derailer issues within two month the large had front derailer and shifter issues as well.

Ideal for recreational off road cycling as well as more adventurous rides on single track trails these hardtail mtbs offer a confident ride. I d say trail 7 is a better buy because it has more gears slightly better components and hydraulic disc brakes instead of mechanical discs. 29 inch wheels make for a smoother ride cons. One of the considerations that cannondale has made on the trail is to fit 29 wheels on larger sizes and 27 5 inch wheels on sizes extra small and small.

The smaller sizes of trail roll on 27 5 wheels while the larger sizes come with 29 wheels to deliver the best blend of fit fast and fun for every rider. This fork is a bit heavier than the air powered one found on the more expensive trail models.
