Headshot Posted March 28, 2017 Share http://cdn.bikemag.com/uploads/2014/03/EllsworthTicker.jpg We have a whole bunch of stunning Ellsworth's at the ASG store in Paarl... Really cool brand, but I can't decide which Epiphany I like the best Not sure cool is the right word. Ellsworth is a strange beast. Mr Ellsworth made a lot of enemies with poor reliability and even worse after sales service, many years ago - it was always the customers fault apparently. He also made some seriously dodgy claims about the performance of the suspension design The latest bikes look great - the Rogue in particular, but appear not to have moved with the times in terms of suspension design. there is quite a good review of the Rogue on Vital. Maybe Lopes can talk some sense into them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 5, 2017 Share New Jekyll & Trigger. These words make me happy... The Jekyll boasts a slightly above enduro-standard 165mm of travel, which drops to 130mm in Hustle Mode. Cannondale haven't gone to the extremes of geometry land, but the boat has been pushed a fair way out into the ocean. A 65º head angle with the 170mm travel fork, 420mm chainstays and a reach range of 425 - 494mm over four sizes. All Jekyll frames are designed to be used with a short 35mm stem. The Trigger is very close in terms of geometry compared to its bigger brother, in fact, only a degree here and there separates them. Rear wheel travel begins at 145mm and drops to around 115mm when you get your Hustle on. The head angle sits at 66º, the seat angle is slightly slacker than the Jekyll and 74.5 and the reach figures 10mm shorter. The Trigger is designed to be used with a slightly longer 45mm stem. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/cannondale-launches-new-jekyll-and-trigger-first-ride.html Edited April 5, 2017 by Myles Mayhew Eddy Gordo, Andrew_Smith, Iwan Kemp and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted April 5, 2017 Share I am sure that rides well...but is rather busy in the linkage department and fugly! Kind of reminds me of my old Cannondale MOTO's. Edited April 5, 2017 by Hairy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the prettiest bike, but it does look like it means business. Intredasting.Looks like a overly complicated VPP design. Wonder who could say it's pretty?
