The Cannondale Scarlet is based on one of the best all-mountain fullys ever: the Cannondale Jekyll. The centrepiece of the massive Scarlet is the DYAD shock, whose travel can be reduced via a remote lever on the handlebars. In combination with the lowerable fork, there are two characters in one bike: a sporty one for efficient uphill pedalling. On the way downhill, the suspension reveals its enormous potential: easy to swallow in rough terrain and sensitive on the trail. The girls were impressed by the very agile, playful handling. However, they found the handlebars too narrow. Top: grippy tyres adapted to all-mountain use. A bike for girls who love technical trails. Unfortunately, it is quite heavy.
PLUS Adjustable chassis, super handling, choice of tyres
MINUS Narrow handlebars, cockpit unsuitable for small hands, equipment
