You have to like that this aluminum frame is built by Cannondale, which made its name in aluminum. And that the carbon fork has flat mount disc brakes, a thru axle, and a tapered steerer.
Comes with 700x 40 WTB Nanos, dropper post ready, and has thru-axles and 142mm spacing in the rear. So they're boasting of clearance and off-road abilities. Can't see any suggestion, though, that this bike would take 650b wheels.
