Ultimate Thoroughbred Marathon Hardtail Racing Machine

Cannondale has a far larger degree of flex in the rear triangle of their flash carbon 29er compared to it rival s-works which is pretty stiff. There is a reason that many pro riders use the s-works in short cross country races. You can read the reveiews of the two bikes on bikeradar: the cannondale is plush while the s-works will rattle you but never let you down in a climb if you are fit of course.

Plus, I am excited about the new lefty coming out soon. Apparently its new design scraps almost a 100g.

I've also seen a lot of riders use the scott scale 29er for long marathon races.
