Cannondale just launched a new jump bike called Dave and it’s priced at a cool $1,150. The brand says Dave can be ridden “Anywhere and everywhere – jump lines, street jibs, skatepark flow, pump-track laps, whatever.”

The alloy frame is offered in just a single size and features external routing for the lone brake cable plus integrated chain tensioners. The build comes with a 100mm Manitou Circus fork, a 28/13T single-speed drivetrain, and a 2-finger Tektro mechanical disc brake in the rear. The 26-inch wheels are wrapped in 2.3-inch-wide Maxxis DTH tires and the 780mm-wide bars sport a 30mm rise.

Proper brake cable wrap for bar spins.

Check the Cannondale website for more info and look for Dave at your local shop.
