Have to agree, not all are into aerial banshee riding. Hardtails are here to stay.
Edit: rumor priced at $4500... ouch, my hardtail just took a hit---

Confusing marketing yet admit pretty cool with the Lefty. The marketing hype is the 'throwback' Headshok, dual blade fork... so what's up with the extra pricey Lefty? Plus, their high end FS are now returning to dual stanchion forks.
For $4500, give us a 12 lbs. 1x12 speed retroish 'missy giove bailout' edition.

I never cared for the look of those Lefty bikes. Just a little "too" unusual, although unusual kinda defines Cannondale, doesn't it? 🤔😁
I love the Headshok on my Silk Path 700. You don't even pay attention after awhile, wether the road has bumps or not. 👍😎

CAnnondale always had that peculiar East-Coast woods-bike vibe. This is the same outfit that brought you the M-800 'Beast of the East' and it's 2016 re-boot
Heck, my CAAD3 / F-1000 was the factory XC race bike, and it has rack mounts. At the time, I wasnt' a fan of the team colors, so I ordered it in black. Tastes change, i kinda wish i had the red now.
