Overview
About this bike
Built for big days in the big mountains, the Trigger is pure, full-throttle descending mojo served up with a side of serious all-day pedalability. Its stiff carbon frame and aluminum swingarm ensures dialed control on fast descents, with suspension that you can flick into efficient Hustle Mode to devour climbs. Fox covers your suspension needs with a Float DPS EVOL shock cycling out 145mm of rear travel and a Float 34 150mm-travel fork soaking up the big hits as fast as you can find them. Toothy Maxxis Minion tires bite hard into loose trails, and WTB Frequency Race wheels hold their line through the chunder. Shimano brakes, shifters, and derailleur keep your piloting precise and intuitive, ensuring the power transferred via Cannondale’s stiff Ai crank gets to work as soon as you stomp on it. And, no trail bike is complete without the all-mountain performance edge of a TransX dropper post, routed internally with your other cables and hoses for a superclean aesthetic. The mountain is yours.
