Thanks for the feedback! I was planning on riding the Trigger Saturday depending on weather. Unfortunately I don't have access to the Helion, unless I travel 1 1/2 hours to ride a used one that's up for sale but's been ridden Hard.
I've just started riding in Delaware, White clay creek & Brandywine. Rode twice at fair Hills, MD. I live 2 miles from Delaware bridge and work in Delaware. Looking forward to hitting the trails in NJ!
I'm looking to upgrade my bike, 14 year old Trek Fuel ex 26". I've narrowed my choices to 2. A used, 2014 lightly ridden (owner was injured and bike not ridden for over a year , Cannondale Trigger 29 carbon 2. Or a new 2016 GT Helion Pro 27.5" leftover. The GT would cost me $20 more at this...
