Rated: 5 by 2 reviews.

REI (2009)

The Cannondale 29er 4 bike boasts 29 in. wheels to enhance your attack and speed on varied terrain.

  • T6061 aluminum Caffeine 29 frame uses a butted top tube, down tube, seat tube and seatstays to reduce weight while maintaining strength
  • RockShox Dart suspension fork offers up a solid 80mm of travel to make butter out of the chop on the trail
  • Quickly snap through gears with the SRAM X-5 trigger shifters; Shimano Deore/SRAM X-5 derailleurs make the 27-speed drivetrain an effortless extension of your pedaling prowess
  • Avid Juicy 3 hydraulic disc brakes and levers lay down some serious stopping power, thanks in part to the pairing of a 185mm rotor up front and a 160mm rotor in the back
  • Jalco X320 29 in. rims are laced up with DT Swiss Champion spokes and outfitted with Continental Race King 29x2.2 in. tires for all-terrain handling and traction
  • Specs are subject to change

Excellent mountain bike for the money

Rating:*****
This is my first 29" mountain bike. From the initial test ride it was night and day better than my old 26". The 29er rides smooth and fast. Rolls over rough South Carolina terrain much easier than a 26". Love the smooth hydraulic disc brakes. Note: specs show 185 mm front rotor but that was preliminary specs and according to Cannondale, all production units came with 160 mm front and back. Still good braking power but a heavier rider may choose to upgrade to a 185 mm front for even more braking power. I did and I am very pleased with it.

Summary: This bike is well set up for the price.

Great Bike

Rating:*****
Great bike. I ride some pretty aggressive off-road stuff and I've even commutted in the snow a few times. It's got a great stable feel on the most difficult terrain. The wheelbase is a little long though (I ride an XL) so it doesn't corner so great, but it makes up for that in overall stability.
