The simplicity of a single speed drive naturally befits the rolling efficiency and handling of 29 in. wheels on the Cannondale 29er 3, offering a ride experience that can't easily be dismissed. T6061 aluminum Caffeine 29 frame uses a butted top tube, down tube, seat tube and seatstays to reduce weight while maintaining strength. Lefty 29er Speed suspension fork provides 80mm of travel to absorb landings, roots, rocks and all those other bumpy things on the trail. Truvativ FireX single speed cranks are outfitted with a 33 tooth ring paired with a 19 tooth rear cog to deliver a versatile ratio that won't spin out when the fun starts. Avid Juicy 3 hydraulic disc brakes and levers lay down some serious stopping power, thanks in part to the pairing of a 185mm rotor up front and a 160mm rotor in the back. Jalco X320 29er rims are laced up with DT Swiss Champion spokes and outfitted with Continental Race King 29x2.2 in. tires for all terrain handling and traction. Eccentric SRAM GXP bottom bracket takes the fuss out of chain tensioning: no dangling tensioners and no wiggling the wheel back little by little, which means more riding time. Specs are subject to change.
