Spy Shot: Cannondale 27.5″ Jekyll Prototype 2014
During the Andes Pacifico organized by Montenbaik there was no place for EWS Champion Jerome Clementz to hide his new racing weapon! There were just too many cameras and journos surrounding this spectacular event in Chile.
According to Jerome he has been testing the Cannondale Jekyll prototype with 27.5″ wheels for quite a while, actually since right after the EWS finals in Finale Ligure in 2013. The bike is supposed to be officially launched in spring this year.
With this development Cannondale is one of the last companies to finally make the move from 26″ to bigger wheels on their enduro bikes. Furthermore the bike will come with new geometry (we expect a slacker geometry) to work better on the more aggressive terrain which Jerome will face on the Enduro World Series races.
