What do you get for that much money? A fair bit: Cannondale specced the excellent RockShox Pike RCT3 up front. The higher-end Carbon-framed Jekylls ship with Cannondale’s Lefty SuperMax fork, but honestly, I prefer the Pike. The Lefty is crazy stout—much like the rest of the Jekyll frame—but I personally prefer the Pike’s actual stroke.
As for bringing this thing to a stop, you’ll be squeezing a set of Magura MT2 brakes. The drivetrain is a SRAM dance party: X7 shifters and front derailleur, X9 rear derailleur and a 36/22 SRAM crankset. As a nice bonus, Cannondale equipped the Jekyll 3 with an MRP 2x guide. For hoops, you’re looking at WTB STi23 rims mated to SRAM X9 hubs. Finally, the bike also comes with an X-Fusion HiLo dropper post.
