Cannondale is prone to re-Engineering the wheel, frequently... pretty sure the 1 1/4 Steerer is a Canny-only curse...
Cannoworms.

see: the Lefty bikes.... including one with a lefty REAR suspension too.
fast, light, and never trusted completely.
i once watched one of their test sessions at Washougal MX Park when i was caretaker up there... it quickly devolved into a series of intense "discussions' when the new engines seized twice in one day.... and the frame cracked again....the Cannondale MX motorcycle division disbanded not long after that test session... development was simply too costly for the rather small company.

a Yamaha prototype i rode a couple years later was conservatively estimated to be worth over a Half Million Dollars... it bristled with Titanium and billet parts... light, scary quick, and one of the first M/C engines using Formula One 4-stroke tech.... i suggested a bit more flywheel weight to tame it down a touch...they agreed.
