Size Guide
Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Cancelled / Refunded Orders Prior to Despatch

Occassionally our site will state that a particular item is in stock & avaible for despatch, when in fact it isnt. This is a unfortunate feature of our ecommerce system & the way our supplier SIM's operate and is beyond our control.

Please check your emails for notifications on the status of your order. We will accept no responsibilty for emails dropping into spam folders or going un-noticed.

2018 Cannondale F-SI Carbon 5 Hardtail Mountain Bike

Season:2018

Brand:Cannondale

Code:C25508MARD

This award-winning cross-country hardtail is designed for the demands of modern cross- country racing. The lightweight carbon frame is built for speed, while the super short chainstays provide the stability and agility you need on today’s challenging cross-country course

A race hardtail like no other. Designed to let you out-kick them on the climbs and out-rip them on the descents, this ultralight rocket is your ticket to the top of the podium.

Key Features:

Frameset: BallisTec Carbon Frame, SAVE, AI

Fork: Rockshox Reba RL, Solo Air, Tapered Steerer, 100mm Travel

Drivetrain: Shimano XT/SLX Group

Brakes: Shimano Deroe Hydro Disc

Crank: Cannondale SI Crankset W/ FSA Rings

Tyres: Schwalbe Racing Ralph Performance

Tech:

Stay slack and stable on hectic descents, yet quick and nimble everywhere else, with OutFront steering geometry.

Enjoy gradient-defying traction, agile handling and reassuring rigidity without compromising on clearance or chainring options - all thanks to our proprietary Ai offset drivetrain and super short chainstays

The F-Si Carbon efficiently transfers the power you put into pedalling into your performance. Superb traction, stability and control come courtesy of a structure that's stiff in all the right places, evenly-dished Ai rear wheel, super-short chainstays and low-weight BallisTec Carbon construction.

Lefty, our unique single-blade front fork, is unbelievably stable, smooth and precise. So you can find your line - and stay on it.

To achieve the best possible fit for all riders, the small F-Si hardtail bike is designed around 27.5" wheels, while sizes M to XL come with 29" wheels

When choosing a hardtail mountian bike you first need to consider a few things. Firstly what is your budget and secondly what kind of terrain you want to ride on. 

Budget: We offer mountain bikes from £400 upwards. Yes you can buy Mountains Bikes for less but in most cases we don't believe they are fit for purpose especially for areas such as Cannock Chase. We would always recommend that at least you choose a bike with hydraulic brakes and a reasonable 100mm suspension fork. Below this price point we find most bikes have insufficient quality brakes and poor quality forks that wear very quickly developing play in the bushes on the fork within no time. 

Trail: In general there are 3 different frame designs that manufactures use. These are leisure / trail and XC. The frames differ in  design to suit these areas of the sport. Such as a leisure frame will offer a more upright position against an XC design which will be lower at the front end and offer a more aggressive ride.
