Cannondale Judge 1 Reviews
Description: (
from cannondale.com)
* Single pivot design with leverage ratio manipulating linkage
* Shock and swing-arm connected at linkage for increased stiffness
* 83 mm BB and wider pivot with oversized bearings increased stiffness
* BB and Pivot are machined from one piece for added strength and stiffness.
Rear of shock attaches at linkage to promote staged travel
* Stage
1 Supple off the top
* Stage 2 Solid pedaling platform
* Stage 3 Ramped for the big hits
Brake-link is attached at the bottom bracket for added stiffness and durability, providing a separation of braking forces from swing-arm travel. Optional brake-link available for both FR models.
It’s the BURLIEST machine Cannondale has made to date
