Cannondale Cujo 2 Hardtail - 2021 - Mantis Green

About The Cujo:

Cannondale's Cujo is all about more. More comfort, more traction, more verstility and more fun.

The Cujo is a great bike for getting you hooked on mountain biking. The smart and light aluminium frame features a modern geometry which focuses on providing intuitive and stable handling. This allows you to pedal efficiently, but also descend with confidence. With built-in SAVE technology, vibrations are reduced at the rear of the bike providing more comfort and control. Internal cable routing and modern standards complete an extremely well made frame.

But the Cujo isn't just for off road riding. It's equally adept at navigating through town and if fitted with a rack and mudguards, would make for a sturdy and reliable commuting bike. The high quality frame and modern features ensure the Cujo is bang up to date and a versatile bike for all sorts of riding.

The Cujo uses wide 2.8" tyres which provide several benefits on the trail. The extra width gives more traction as more of the tyre is incontact with the trail: this allows you to ride with confidence on rough terrain. The larger volume also helps soak up vibrations giving you a more comofortable ride. Compared to a standard tyre size, the 'plus' tyres roll extremely easily off road and help provide more confidence on rough terrain. Most of all, combined with the great handling, the wide tyres make the Cujo great fun to ride on the trails.

A 120mm Rockshox Judy suspension fork provides grip off road, and can be locked out for use on the road. The 15mm axle gives more rigidity and strength to the fork which improves steering accuracy. A Tranz-X dropper seatpost ensures you can descend with absolute confidence and features internal cable routing for a clean look. SRAM's super-wide ranging SX 1x12 speed groupset offers smooth gear changes and a very low gear for the steepest of climbs. This groupset is based closely on SRAM's race winning technology and has a very slick operation. Shimano hydraulic disc brakes mean you can stay in control of your speed in all weathers and the WTB tyres have a good mixed tread to suit on or off road.

Put it all together and the Cujo offers some seriously good performance at a great value price. Cannondale are pioneers in aluminium and the quality of the Cujo frame really is excellent. Combined with the great handling and big tyres, the Cujo is a super fun bike for all riders. For anyone starting out in mountain biking, or looking for a great value do-it-all bike, this is a superb option.
