There’s a new bike brand in our riding family – Cannondale bikes are now at MEC. To give you the scoop of what’s in the 2020 line-up, we’ve put together a mini guide to all things Cannondale with our MEC bike experts. First things first: why Cannondale? Like MEC, Cannondale is all about getting people active outside and having fun. One thing that’s great is that they have a full range of bikes – road, gravel, mountain, commuter, e-bikes, kids – that can work for members from Victoria to Halifax. People in Canada also know Cannondale, so it’s a name many members recognize and trust. They’ve been making bikes for more than three decades. What makes Cannondale stand out? They’ve always been an innovative brand and never shy away from trying new stuff, which gets other people in the bike industry thinking about what’s possible. They pioneered high-end aluminum technology, and were early adopters of full suspension for mountain bikes and carbon fibre for road bikes. If it weren’t for companies like Cannondale pushing technology, leading the way and testing things outs, we’d be riding pretty boring bikes.

The Quick Neo: an e-bike that looks like a regular bike, but with extra pop for getting around.

Cannondale gravel bikes at MEC: Topstone carbon and aluminum models for adventure, gravel riding and everything in between

CAADX 105 Bike, which makes an excellent first cyclocross bike If you’re a dirt-loving roadie, check out the Topstone Carbon Ultegra to get off the beaten path.

The Topstone Carbon has a KingPin suspension system to handle rough roads and pavement smoothly.

Cannondale mountain bikes at MEC: Habit carbon and aluminum bikes for trail riding

A selection of Trail and Tango aluminum hardtail trail options (Trail is unisex, Tango is women’s)

F-Si carbon bike for the XC race crowd

Cujo, a plus bike with 27+ tires Our guess? Habit aluminum bikes are going to be popular. They give you the technology you’d see on higher-end carbon bikes, but at a price that’s more accessible.

The Habit: a full-suspension 29er that’s nicely efficient for climbing and forgiving on the downhill.

Trail Single Speed 16in. to keep things simple for new riders – it has one gear and coaster brakes

Cujo (20in., 24in.), which gives them plus-sized tires in a young rider sized frame

Balance bikes that look like grown-up bikes, complete with a Little Lefty front fork.
