Features
Race performance
Cannondale’s F-Series range is all about getting those XC wins. That’s why they’ve taken a unique approach with the F-SI. It features an Ai drivetrain; they’ve shifted the drivetrain and rear triangle to the right, by 6mm. The result is an ultra-stiff back wheel, with super short chainstays, decent ground clearance and a responsive rear end. The F29 comes with race proven geometry, short chainstays, a lower bottom bracket and steeper head angle (on the Carbon models) gives you the sharp handling of a 26” but with the smooth rolling ability of a classic 29er.

Ai drivetrain
What? (F-SI model) The drivetrain and rear triangle have been shifted to the right by 6mm
Why? Creates an incredibly stiff rear wheel, and the shortest chainstays on any XC machine, which moves the wheel under the rider for better traction on technical trails.
Lefty integration
What? Cannondale’s amazing Lefty suspension
Why? The Lefty is great for XC racing, it’s feather light, crazy stiff and perfect for fast rolling big 29er wheels.
BallisTec Carbon
What? Cannondale’s high quality carbon frame using military grade carbon fibre and high strength resins.
Why? The frame is both light and strong, meaning you can fly up climbs and take the hits on the descents.
