Lefty Ocho

Brand: Cannondale

Introduced in 2018, the Lefty Ocho replaced the twin-clamp Lefty with a single-crown, single-sided design using an off-the-shelf tapered steerer, which lets it fit a conventional head tube. It slides on three sets of linked needle bearings in a three-sided telescope and uses the Chamber air cartridge with external compression, rebound and lockout adjustment, plus remote-lockout compatibility. The figures below describe the 29-inch version with 100 mm of travel; Cannondale also offers a 27.5-inch version and a longer-travel Ocho 120. Braking uses the removable StopLock mount, which accepts post-mount calipers and 160 to 180 mm rotors.
