Cannondale Men's Trail 8

SmartForm C3 Alloy

Simple yet sophisticated aluminum construction yields a light, lively frame that outperforms anything in its class.

SAVE Micro-Suspension

Delivers a smoother, more controlled ride thanks to strategically engineered flex zones built into the frame's rear triangle.

Slack and Stable

A slack 68° head angle creates exceptionally stable handling so that you can charge the descents with confidence.

Right-Sized Wheels

The smaller sizes of Trail roll on 27.5" wheels, while the larger sizes come with 29" wheels to deliver the best blend of fits, fast and fun for every rider.

StraightShot Internal Cable Routing

For an integrated look and east 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.
