 Cannondale draws on its legendary Beast of the East moniker for a 27.5+ hardtail that delivers huge traction with the ability to mob through seriously hacked-out terrain. This Beast of the East starts out with pedigreed SmartFormed aluminum to create a frame that's as light, as it is stiff, as it is responsive. A plush 120mm of suspension from the Lefty 2.0 fork makes this bike eager for lines that make other hardtails tremble. Plus-size WTB Scraper rims are wide and stout to handle the superb ride and increased traction of 27.5 x 3-inch WTB tires. They're tubeless-ready to boot, so forget flats and focus on fun. To that end, a Trans-X 120mm dropper post pushes the ride even further, for aggressive descending and efficient power-producing leg extension while climbing. A 1x11-speed X1/GX drivetrain from SRAM gives you all the gears you need&#8212;so you'll save weight while keeping things spinning. Deore discs from Shimano are there when you've got to hit the brakes, and tried-and-true handlebars, saddle, and stem from Cannondale are trail-spec'd and prepared for battle.
