That's interesting! I didn't see that tidbit, but did see the quote from Cannondale that the "Kingpin" system is capable of 30mm of travel. That seems like a lot! Too much, even?

I will have to see what various testers and reviewers have to say. Test rides are helpful too, but you can only tell so much from riding around the block at the bike shop a few times.
