https://video.liberta.vip/videos/watch/88070366-5c96-4e06-9a78-f879f79b055c After five straight ring road circuits on the Trail SL 4 - 240 km over the week - my legs carried less accumulated fatigue than a comparable five days on the heavier Marlin the year before; that lighter frame's small per-circuit saving compounds, which is exactly when it is worth renting. Leaving Nathon at 6 a.m. in cool January air, its light weight and precise handling showed in the first kilometres, the dry season keeping tyre pressure and fork stable. Its rate sits above the Merida and Trek, justified only for serious riders doing the ring road at fitness pace, targeting times or riding consecutive days. Timing the Nathon climb I ran it 2 minutes faster over 4 km than heavier bikes. It earns its premium only on multi-day, high-volume dry-season riding; for one casual ring road loop the cheaper Merida Big.Nine 15 is plenty. https://samui-bikes.com/en/bicycle-rental-koh-samui/rent-cannondale-trail-sl-4/when-cannondale-trail-sl-4-is-worth-renting-samui/ Wed, 04 Nov 2026 22:12:46 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://video.liberta.vip https://video.liberta.vip/lazy-static/avatars/f8a53962-73f3-4feb-93dd-38fb84ee1e18.png https://video.liberta.vip/videos/watch/88070366-5c96-4e06-9a78-f879f79b055c All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://video.liberta.vip/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
