A wheel that is not suspended on both sides as on a bike, but only on one side, does not hold properly, is unstable or does not ride straight? Then let me ask you this question: Have you ever questioned whether the wheels are securely attached to your car? With Cannondale's Lefty, the question is surprisingly often asked whether it is safe and durable. Yes, it is, the design is light, stiff and extremely stable. And practical too, changing a tire, for example, is done in Formula 1 speed.

The new Lefty "Ocho" presented this spring can not only position the wheel accurately, but also demonstrates other qualities such as good weight, sensitive response and good stiffness. If you leave behind any doubts about the unusual design by bicycle standards, you get a cross-country fork that makes almost everything else look old in terms of suspension comfort, weight and sensitivity.

Of course, Cannondale's new Trail Neo 1 e-hardtail shows that the fork - which has polarized the mountain bike universe like no other product from the very beginning - can also be stable. The bolide rolls with a Shimano motor, bringing a little more flab on the ribs than a non-motorized hardtail and of course is not stingy with newton meters and watt hours. The Trail Neo 1 is not fitted with an e-bike-specific fork - but the Lefty "Ocho". Perhaps the combo of e-hardtail and Lefty will help to convert a non-believer and spread the knowledge that it lasts... And if you still don't believe it, the Trail Neo is also available in a more affordable Trail Neo 2 version with a Rock Shox Judy fork.
