However, a slacker head tube angle can make climbing harder and also make it more challenging to control the weight over the front wheel during turns.

How does the Lefty fork work?

Other specs such as geometry, wheels, and tires matter too, but they are usually tailored to match a bike’s suspension. Most modern mountain bikes will have somewhere between 100mm and 170mm of suspension travel.

What is the difference between the Jekyll and the Cannondale Cannondale?

Cannondale rarely follows convention, and while the Jekyll ditches its single-sided Lefty fork, the way the shock sits above and ahead of the kinked linkage gives the carbon mainframe a distinctive look.
