Cannondale Trail SL 29er 3 Bike -
With a fun, agile frame and trusty Shimano parts, the Cannondale Trail SL 29er 3 hardtail mountain bike is a great way to explore trails and treat yourself to the fun that is riding a 29er.
After its initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.

Adjustable lockout
I've owned this one for about 10 days I think lol so I can't speak to durability tho I've ridden it every day sept yesterday but I do the love the handling and the shifting is solid. So far I also like the frame design.
The main reason I picked the cannondale in this price range over scotts extra is the adjustable lock out which I couldn't find on any other comparable bike in this price range.
I might add more once I have more time on her I just wanted to put up my endorsement for this awesome ride and say that so far I've found no negatives of not. ..... Unless u don't like red or ....cough green.
Oh and if you have any doubts about 29'ers I strongly suggest going and trying one out I was sold b4 I made it to the parking lot for my test lol.
Tho obviously 26'ers will always have the edge in nimbleness I don't find my self missing anything. Well sept maybe that choked up on the handle bars aggressive feel....yaaa I get over that with a few memory's of going over.

Secure, smooth, and fun...
I upgraded from the Cannondale CX 3 Hybrid and absolutely love this bike. Not only is it more secure on downhills but the tires make for a pretty smooth ride on streets. I routinely bike routes that are about half street and half dirt trail. This bike is secure on the dirt trails and the tires allow for a fast and smooth ride on the streets. The upgraded components are also quite noticeable. The gears easily shift and the disc brakes give you confidence to stop quickly when idiot drivers pull out in front of you on down hills pushes. What a joy to ride...
