Designed for trail riding, light commuting, town riding and simply having fun, the Trail 1 features a lightweight SmartForm C3 Alloy frame, suspension fork, wide-range Shimano CUES drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes.

Whether you're exploring local singletrack, cruising bike paths or tackling your favourite weekend trails, the Trail 1 delivers a responsive and confidence-inspiring ride.

SmartForm C3 Alloy Frame

Cannondale's SmartForm C3 Alloy frame combines lightweight construction with the durability required for everyday mountain biking.

The responsive chassis provides an excellent foundation for trail riding while remaining practical enough for commuting and general-purpose cycling.

SR Suntour XCM32 Suspension Fork

The Trail 1 uses an SR Suntour XCM32 Boost fork with 100mm of travel, helping smooth out bumps, roots and rough sections of trail.

For XS and Small sizes, the fork uses 80mm of travel to provide a size-appropriate setup.

Shimano CUES U6000 10-Speed

A Shimano CUES U6000 10-speed drivetrain provides smooth and reliable shifting with a wide range of gears.

The single-chainring setup keeps the drivetrain straightforward while providing the gearing required for climbing trails and cruising flatter sections.

Confident Hydraulic Disc Braking

Tektro hydraulic disc brakes provide dependable braking control for trail riding, descents and everyday cycling.

Hydraulic braking gives riders the confidence to manage changing terrain and varying conditions.

Dropper Post

The Trail 1 comes equipped with a 130mm dropper post, allowing you to adjust saddle height quickly while riding.

Lower the saddle for more freedom of movement on descents and technical trails, then raise it again for efficient climbing and flatter sections.

27.5" or 29" Wheels

Wheel sizing is tailored to the frame size to provide an appropriate combination of fit, speed and handling.

• 29" wheels: Larger frame sizes
• 27.5" wheels: XS and Small

This approach helps ensure riders of different heights can enjoy a balanced and confidence-inspiring ride.

Everyday Versatility

The Trail 1 isn't limited to the trail. It features a hidden kickstand mount plus rack and fender mounts, making it a genuinely versatile bike for riders who want one bike capable of handling multiple jobs.

Use it for weekend trail adventures, light commuting, riding around town or exploring new routes.
