The CANNONDALE Trail SL5 comes with a superb frame for the £550 price tag – however this means that the spend on components and forks are what lets it down. It therefore comes with cable pull disk brakes (not hydraulic)
PROS: Lovely frame, the CANNONDALE Trail SL5 has a decent enough 27-speed Deore drive chain too.
CONS: The big let down with the CANNONDALE Trail SL5 are the forks, which you’ll need to replace.
The CANNONDALE Trail SL5 is available from Evans Cycles
