Always Game

Cannondale's take on the ultimate all-round gravel bike. Go anywhere, bring everything and then keep on going.

Model Description

This is the pinnacle—the very best of our all-round gravel machines. Buttery-smooth dual suspension lets you float over unpredictable terrain without losing an ounce of speed. KingPin offers up to 30mm of travel in the rear, while the updated Lefty Oliver Carbon fork gives you 40mm up front, keeping things fast, smooth, and suspiciously fun. A mullet drivetrain with new SRAM Force AXS XPLR and an XO Transmission derailleur offers wireless convenience and huge gear range, and Reserve 40|44 GR carbon wheels stay rock steady through every twist and turn. From endless backroads to the toughest race days, this bike sets the bar for speed, control, and all-terrain capability.

What it's for

Gravel riding & racing, bikepacking, singletrack exploration, getting after it beyond the pavement’s end

Highlights

  • Lightweight full carbon frame with Kingpin rear suspension, Proportional Response size-specific construction, and StashPort downtube storage
  • Lefty Oliver Carbon – Our top of the line, built for gravel suspension fork. Unmatched mixed-surface performance
