Cannondale Slate
It’s fair to say that Cannondale, while being one of the world’s most beloved bike brands, have a history of developing bikes that can be considered “other”. The Slate continues this trend by pairing a frame derived from the brand’s cyclocross bikes with a short travel (30mm) Lefty fork for what is one of the most unique silhouettes in cycling. This is a bike that is very much an ALL-road bike – along with the fork, the massive 650b x 42c tyres and alloy frame tell you that this bike is meant to get dirty.
