I demo'd a JEKYLL 27.5 CARBON TEAM with the Carbon MAX etc today at Glentress in Scotland. The Cannondale guys said that it was the first one in the country and only arrived here a few days ago.
The frame felt very similar to my 26 Jekyll, i was at home on it as soon as i turned a pedal. The guys also let me set up the rear shock to my exact pressures. The frame felt very playful and stiff, but so does my 26 Jekyll
The fork felt really amazing, very stiff, unbelievably smooth and encouraged me to push hard over the rough, drops and jumps. I did a back to back comparison with a SC Tallboy 29er with a Pike, and the Lefty felt every bit as stiff, but smoother ( The SC guys set up the Pike, i never adjusted it at all).
I also rode a TRIGGER 27.5 CARBON TEAM, great bike, enjoyed it, but for me the Jekyll works better as an all-round concept, as it climbs every bit as well as the TRIGGER, but is more capable and fun the downs.
