Both Bikes have pros and cons
The Trek has more of a road gearing with 50/34 and the Cannondale has 46/30
The Trek comes with Slick 32s (up to 38 stated on the website and the Cannondale comes with 40mm stock
The Trek as better brakes and wheels.
The Trek has mounts for a front rack and the Cannondale only on the back.
I like the saddle of the Cannondale and wouldn't have to change a thing Not a fan of the Trek saddle.
You missed the biggest difference. Tubeless ready wheels on the AL3.
