Connecticut, sold through shops
Cannondale mountain bikes
One of the oldest names in American cycling, now part of a much larger group. Strongest at the two ends: the Scalpel is a genuine World Cup cross-country bike, and the Trail hardtails are honest budget bikes rather than catalog filler. The Habit family in the middle is quietly one of the better value trail platforms going.

Cannondale pays nothing to appear here and cannot pay to rank higher - here is how we make money. Confirm current pricing on the brand's own site before you buy, and see every bike we rank for the full database.
