Gideondv Posted September 3, 2013 Share Million dollar question. If the lefty wasn't proprietary to Canondale, would we see other bikes using it? IMO that's a big fat one sided YES!They should just "invent" the righty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokerman923 Posted September 3, 2013 Share For me this is the pinnacle of Mountain biking forks, and thus not only for the unconventional design and look but also being a piece of engineering that works really well.........and better than a conventional fork design. I'm running two of these with Hydraulic lockouts and have not encountered any issue no matter the surface/conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Potgieter Posted September 3, 2013 Share So I never liked Canondale lefty forks. They always felt flimsy and wrong to me. The Canondale boys are struggling in the rock gardens on the UCI world champs. Just watching the race live, I know the lefty riders will argue, but most definitely something is not 100 percent with those forks.If you look at the line that Fumic took compared to the "Schurter line" as it is known, he had much bigger rocks to deal with. That being said. None of us are on that level. Give Nino or Manuel a BMX and they will still own the course. Cannondale is a brand with a huge following and have a massive reputation to uphold. There is no way that they will release an inferior product. They back what they make, hence the lifetime warrenty you get when buying one of their amazing bikes.

Jacques Potgieter Posted September 4, 2013 Share since they are now made in China the warranty is 5years on frame and Lefty. damping cartridge and spring is 2 year warranty, same as Rock Shox.Off their website... Since the FTR does everything from cartridge upgrade to complete overhaul. If the fork is not abused, and has been serviced regularly, all internal repairs would be covered for 1 year. Cannondale offers a LIFE TIME guarantee on the structure itself....This is for the shock. and for the frame...(frame, fork structure, swing arm): Cannondaleframes (except frames for Freeride, and Dirt Jumping bikes, see below) are warranted by Cycling Sports Group, Inc., 16Trowbridge Drive, Bethel, CT 06801 against manufacturingdefects in materials and/or workmanship for the lifetime ofthe original owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosbrommer Posted December 25, 2013 Share I come from a Downhill background...currently riding a lefty...awesome fork, even in the rough stuff. It took some time to adapt to the lefty but once you get use to it there is no looking back. And believe me...these forks are strong...just watch some of Cedric and Aaron's vids from back in the day when they were still riding for Cannondale...we are talking about backflips, street, DH...all on a lefty...nuff said. But its like you said...at the end of the day...its rider preference. Tankman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Sywurm Posted December 27, 2013 Share My friend has a lefty and he loves it, I hate it! It looks ugly and looks as if it has to be off balance. Edited December 27, 2013 by Heinrich55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted December 27, 2013 Share My friend has a lefty and he loves it, I hate it! It looks ugly and looks as if it has to be off balance. just squint your eyes and it will look right again. Ridden a lefty or two and besides all the old Jokes about them they are really good tracking forks with a nice suspension action. The fact that they are strong and light is just simplya bonus.
