The axle path is rearward during the first 100mm of travel, with the wheel travelling 12mm back from its starting position. After that, it arcs upwards and forwards.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">To keep the centre of mass as low as possible, the shock sits inside a cutaway within the down tube. There\u2019s a removable plastic cover underneath to help protect it, but a rock still made its way into the shock cavity during testing. Cannondale tune the kinematics and alter the rear centre on each of the four sizes in a bid to provide the same ride characteristics, no matter the rider size.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">The Jekyll\u2019s geometry is in line with others on test. Our medium bike has a 450mm reach and 435mm rear centre. A slack 63.5-degree head angle helps to provide an 800mm front centre, while the 77.4-degree effective seat tube angle is decently steep. The BB is just under 340mm off the floor.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">You might not expect Shimano Deore gearing on such a pricey bike, but you needn\u2019t worry, as it works incredibly well, with slick, accurate shifts. Similarly, the M6120 brakes are light at the lever but seriously punchy. <span>The 170mm RockShox ZEB fork is stout and controlled, while the Fox DPX2 shock feels smooth and active. <\/span>It\u2019s the wheels that are the main chink in the Jekyll\u2019s armour. WTB STX i30 rims on Shimano hubs aren\u2019t a bad choice on paper, but spokes started to loosen on our rear wheel and the freehub pickup isn\u2019t particularly rapid.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">Despite its high pivot and idler, the Cannondale feels more efficient on the climbs than a number of bikes here, including the GT. This is especially true on steeper gradients, where the comfy seated position and limited bob from the shock mean there\u2019s no need to firm up the damping (no bad thing, as the shock\u2019s lever isn\u2019t easy to reach). Downhill, the Jekyll feels sprightlier, more urgent and racier than the Force, but doesn\u2019t swallow bumps in quite the same way. It still smooths them out impressively and feels very active, but there\u2019s a touch more feedback. While the GT lets you drop your heels, sit back and plough through, the Cannondale\u2019s handling is a little more communicative.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">That said, it remains calm-feeling when things get hectic, neither fidgeting nor pitching back and forth. <span>Through the turns, weight feels well distributed, boosting predictability and confidence. It\u2019s a shame the wheels aren\u2019t tougher, as otherwise it would\u2019ve been a top-three contender.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"no-tts ub-star-rating\" id=\"ub-star-rating-90e4e720-b789-4121-9eeb-acdda39c0765\">\n                <div class=\"no-tts ub-star-outer-container\">\n                    <div class=\"no-tts ub-star-inner-container\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"#ffb901\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" viewBox=\"0 0 510 510\">\n        <polygon points=\"255,402.212 412.59,497.25 370.897,318.011 510,197.472 326.63,181.738 255,12.75 183.371,181.738 0,197.472 139.103,318.011 97.41,497.25\"\/>\n    <\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"#ffb901\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" viewBox=\"0 0 510 510\">\n        <polygon points=\"255,402.212 412.59,497.25 370.897,318.011 510,197.472 326.63,181.738 255,12.75 183.371,181.738 0,197.472 139.103,318.011 97.41,497.25\"\/>\n    <\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"#ffb901\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" viewBox=\"0 0 510 510\">\n        <polygon points=\"255,402.212 412.59,497.25 370.897,318.011 510,197.472 326.63,181.738 255,12.75 183.371,181.738 0,197.472 139.103,318.011 97.41,497.25\"\/>\n    <\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"#ffb901\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" viewBox=\"0 0 510 510\">\n        <polygon points=\"255,402.212 412.59,497.25 370.897,318.011 510,197.472 326.63,181.738 255,12.75 183.371,181.738 0,197.472 139.103,318.011 97.41,497.25\"\/>\n    <\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" viewBox=\"0 0 510 510\">\n        <path d=\"M510,197.472l-183.37-15.734L255,12.75l-71.629,168.988L0,197.472l139.103,120.539L97.41,497.25L255,402.186 l157.59,95.064l-41.692-179.239L510,197.472z M255,354.348l-95.957,57.886l25.398-109.166l-84.736-73.389l111.69-9.588 L255,117.172l43.605,102.918l111.689,9.588l-84.711,73.389l25.398,109.166L255,354.348z\" \/>\n    <\/svg><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"no-tts ub-review-text\"><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">Composed-feeling, capable and a lot of fun to ride.
