Cannondale has done a great job with the Jekyll. It’s stable, composed and seriously quick, but a better set of wheels would elevate its performance even further

Pros

Cons
  1. background noise and climbing efficiency

  4. spec needs upgrades

  2. Particularly balanced handling
  3. Very good at maintaining speed
