Yes, it's a great bike. I've ridden the Alloy model with the lefty Super max. It doesn't ride like most 29rs, you can still flick it about and it climbs like a mountain goat.

Great bikes and rare as hens teeth on the trails it seems by the attention they get when out and about. The Lefty Max is amazing and very stiff... Once you've overcome the absurd looks of the thing.

A couple of people in our shop race team have them, alloy and carbon models, and ride them everywhere from Thetford to N. Wales. Nothing seems to slow them down whether it be climbs, downs or general flat trail.

In typical 29er fashion, it does prefer to bulldoze through trails rather than take flight. So might not appeal to jumpy monkey sorts.

i've got a 2014 with a fox 34 ,only had it a few days but seem super fast and seems great up to press on the trickier stuff ,will have a ride to the peaks and try it very soon.i'd say it rides like a bigger travel bike,will keep everyone updated when i try it else where.

Got my 2013 Trigger 29er 1 this morning. My first mountain bike and I can't wipe the stupid grin off my face. Done more climbs to the Ridgway this morning than in a week on the hybrid.

Happy Easter Bunny me

I have a 1 as I wanted the Lefty. Cannondale brought in an XL for me.

A good bike let down by the wheels and weight. The bike had a tendency to run wide when pushing on. I've re-rimmed mine now with Flows rims (The Crest rims have gone across to the Cyclo X bike).

Pedals well. Good in the air. Stiff frame. However it needs to lose a few pounds.
