• Not really worth it TBH, especially since the brake literally need to come off in order to remove the wheel (compare to a proper lefty where you just need to loosen it and pull it out of the hook), they're very heavy too, especially the oddly suspension corrected fork where Cannondale isn't even selling one with a suspension.

    Lastly, the geometry is completely different to the Arkose, which one are you talking about? it's a lots longer and taller, and most importantly, it got a massive trail of 99mm! it got a very short stem and flat bar for a reason.

  • It’s not completely different I don’t think. Just a cm longer and 3 taller but 2cm higher BB means fit is similar.
    Angles are within 0.5 degrees so handling similar, same rake fork.
    Arkose comes with a short stem too but I still like it with a 120.

    Above all else, lefty fork is cool and that’s it

  • Dude it’s a very different geometry! A typical arkose trail is around 65mm (guesstimate from the top of my head).

    Fit a long stem and drop and it’ll be the slowest steering bike you’ll ride.
