Cannondale Trail 6 (2016)

The 2016 Cannondale Trail 6 is an entry-level cross-country mountain bike. Built on the same 6061 aluminum frame as the top Trail models, the 6 offers a package carefully selected for performance and value: a reliable Suntour suspension fork, pairing nicely with the responsive frame for a very smooth ride, hydraulic disc brakes from Promax offering sure stopping power in any weather, and a clean-shifting, widely-geared Shimano drivetrain. The wheels are light, tough alloy, wrapped in WTB's go-anywhere Beeline tires, at home on trails, parks, paths, and even pavement.
A good beginner's mountain bike.
