The Frames do look very nice, i agree with that, and being Cannondale will be full of innovation im sure.. Also agree about the rear shock, looks like a Scott style Pull shock...
Will have to wait for the press release next week to get the full details..0 -
Still looks like a pretty basic set up though - single pivot, linkage actuated shock.
WIth Cannondale being owned by GTs parent compant thought they might have a take on the Idrive by now.0 -

So the Jekyl is being repitched as what... a freeride bike? I thought it was always a pretty straight-laced XC machine.0

So far Dorel Industries has allowed Cannondale to design and develop its bikes and systems independently of GT ( and Schwinn, Mongoose, Roadmaster).
For 2010 Cannondale is moving the majority of its production to a new factory's in Taiwan and China, although design, development, final assembly and testing will continue in Bedford USA.0 -

Seems to be positioned in the All Mountain 150mm to 160mm bracket. Cannondale currently produce the Moto, which is 160mm AM bike. But the Moto has been a slow seller, so it looks like its getting replaced by the Jekyll.
The Claymore will be a Free Ride bike i presume..0 -
must be slow on the uptake atm, i didn't know there were 180mm travel SC fox's in the pipeline, or a 'Dale Claymore.
+1 damn fine looking0 -

New for next year, along with the Kashima coating and other design tweaks like only two travel adjustments on the TALAS instead of three0
