Cannondale Jekyll Carbon 1, Grøn

Full throttle into the depths
It shines uphill too, but let’s face it: the Jekyll was born for the descent. Every component screams speed; every element was designed with the idea of squeezing every last drop of that sweet adrenaline cocktail out of those steep, blocky, undulating lines.

Best chassis ever.
4-bar, high pivot, guidler and size-specific approach make dreams come true. No kidding! If you’re not a fan of suspension jargon, just know this: the grip, suspension performance and drive efficiency of this bike are unparalleled. It waits impatiently for the next downhill.

Gravity Cavity
The shock sits cleverly in the open down tube and allows the bike’s centre of gravity to be as low as possible. Unwavering stability, agile line changes and a unique look.

Made for you
Okay, not for you in particular. But for everyone like you. Thanks to the Proportional Response Design, everything – from the chassis kinematics to the geometry to the length of the chainstays – is optimally adapted to the frame size and inspires with a performance that is made just for you.

A chassis like no other
The high main pivot point allows for a rearward axle travel that is happy to swallow. The Guidler idler counteracts the pedal kickback of the high pivot system. The 4-bar layout provides high braking traction, plenty of grip and ingenious drive efficiency.

Guidler
Idler + chain guide = Guidler. Clever, isn’t it? The idler eliminates pedal kickback from the High Pivot swingarm, so you can pedal smoothly even when the ground is bumpy. Is there a better guide?

Size-specific chassis
A rider’s centre of gravity determines how the suspension works, but most bikes have the identical suspension layout across all sizes. With Proportional Response suspension kinematics, the design is adapted to the frame size, setting new standards in performance.

Proportional Response geometry
Long, flat, low – and size-specific. As the front of the bike gets longer with each size, the chainstay length grows proportionally, putting the biker in a central position between the wheels for truly custom handling.

Optimal protection
The down tube guard protects your frame from roots and stone chips, while allowing water and dirt to drain away easily.

The Ai advantage
The Ai offset rear end scores with mud-friendly, greater tyre clearance at the swingarm and more even spoke angles for a stiffer, more stable rear wheel.
