The “Quiver-Killer” Killer
Unlike other so-called “quiver killers” the all-new Trigger doesn’t need to compromise between too much travel and too little too steep geometry or too slack.
Its new and improved Fox DYAD rear shock gives the rider the perfect travel and geometry for whatever terrain they’re attacking making it possibly the most versatile bike we’ve ever made and the only bike you need in your garage.
Trigger 27.5 is:
Quite possibly the perfect all-around mountain bike.
Able to run shred the descents thanks to its FLOW mode travel and geometry and burly SuperMax fork.
Able to climb like a scared monkey thanks to its light weight and the short travel and nimble geometry of ELEVATE mode.
TECHNOLOGIES
Travel
85mm to 140mm on-the-fly adjustable rear travel. 140mm front.
All-new frame
The new Trigger is a ground-up redesign based on the Trigger 29 but dialed in for 27.5" wheels. The BallisTec Carbon models are full carbon (unlike our competitiors we dont use alloy swingarms or links to cut costs) while the performance of the SmartFormed alloy versions highlights Cannondales aluminum expertise.
Lefty SuperMax
The stiffness and steering precision of the Triggers SuperMax fork blows away anything else in the 140mm category. The Trail tune damper offers a great balance between XC efficiency and all-mountian suppleness.
Dyad RT2
The DYAD shock provides the same two-shocks-in-one benefits and performance of the Jekyll but dialed for the Trigger: shorter travel (85mm) ELEVATE mode delivers near race-bike efficiency while the longer travel FLOW (140mm) mode offers up a plusher all-mountain feel.
Attitude adjust
Switch between modes on the DYAD and the bike’s geometry changes too. Steeper and more nimble in ELEVATE mode lower and more stable in FLOW mode.
27.5" wheels
The slightly larger wheel size provides the ideal blend of snappy acceleration nimble handling and roll-over momentum.
ECS-TC System
Clamped 15mm thru-axles in the shock linkage and swingarm pivot as well as double bearings at the rear dropouts eliminate flex and provide unmatched center-stiffness for complete control.
Zero Pivot
The carbon Triggers utilize our flexing Zero Pivot seatstays which save weight and actually increase lateral stiffness over bearing pivot rear stays.
