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!
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 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.

This bike looks like it costs loads more than it does. Classy stealth black finish with gloss graphics, the Trail 4 is a great looking bike with mid range product suitable for a any beginner / mid level rider. As you'd expect from Cannondale the aluminum frame is of the highest quality. The big chunky tubing, refined to give strength but also lightness. For the money this is without doubt one of the lightest bikes.
Rock Shox XC30 forks offer a smooth ride and nice upgrade against the standard Suntour forks. The build is then completed with Shimano 9speed Atlus / Alivio groupset with a triple chainset on the front and 11-34 cassette on the rear. This should see you get up the steepest climbs with easy yet offer you the gearing to blast the downhills.
The ever reliable Cannondale kit finishes the bike.
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.
