The Cannondale Trail SE 4 from 2024 is a versatile mountain bike that is available for a price of EUR 1099. The frame is made of Smartform C2 Alloy and offers an optimum combination of stability and comfort thanks to the SAVE dropped seatstays and the tapered head tube. The internal cable routing and compatibility with a dropper seatpost emphasise the well thought-out design of the frame.
Damping is provided by the SR Suntour XCR fork with 120 mm travel and a 15x110 mm Thru-Axle, which offers reliable performance even on rough terrain. The Tektro M275 hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotor at the front and 160 mm rotor at the rear ensure powerful and consistent braking performance.
The drivetrain consists of the Shimano Deore M4100 groupset, which offers a wide range of gears with a 10-speed shifter and a sprocket with 11-46 teeth. The drivetrain is complemented by a KMC X10 chain and an FSA Alpha Drive crankset with 30 teeth, which ensures efficient power transmission.
The cockpit of the bike is equipped with an FSA Alloy Riser handlebar with a width of 760 mm and a rise of 15 mm. The Cannondale dual-density grips and the Cannondale 3 stem made of 6061 aluminium provide additional comfort and control. The integrated headset with sealed bearings contributes to the longevity of the cockpit.
The wheels consist of WTB STX i25 TCS rims, which are tubeless ready and reinforced with stainless steel spokes. The tyres are a WTB Breakout in size 29x2.3" at the front and a WTB Trail Boss in size 29x2.25" at the rear, which ensures optimum grip and traction. The hubs are Shimano MT400 models, which are equipped with a 15x110 mm Thru-Axle at the front and a 12x148 mm Thru-Axle at the rear.
The Cannondale Ergo XC saddle and the Cannondale C3 seatpost made of 6061 aluminium, which is available in different lengths (350 mm for size S and 400 mm for M-XL), offer additional comfort and adaptability.
All in all, the Cannondale Trail SE 4 offers a well thought-out package for ambitious mountain bikers who value quality and performance.
