Tektro Mechanical Disc
This is also a relatively low-cost mechanical disc brake, but much better braking than the cheaper alloy cable pull brakes.
It has a relatively short braking distance and good brake response speed. As a commuting rider, this configuration is sufficient for use.
Cannondale Adventure 1 and EQ Hydraulic Disc (4.5/5)
These two bikes are both powered by Tektro M275 hydraulic disc automatics. It requires very little maintenance.
This provides more precise braking compared to the Adventure 2 Tektro Mechanical Disc. And it provides more braking power in case of emergency braking.
Seatpost Suspension (4.5/5)
There is no Seatpost suspension on the Cannondale Adventure 2.
It is only available on Cannondale Adventure 1 and EQ. This is a detailed component that turns every ride, trail, and road into a joyride. Slight vibrations from the rear wheels are also absorbed by it.
But the downside of this is that it reduces the fastest riding speed by about 5%.
Adjustable Stem (4.5/5)
The Cannondale Adventure 2 has a fixed stem. It has a slight 8° rear sweep.
Cannondale Adventure 1 is Promax A-headset Adjustable, which is height adjustable.
The Cannondale Adventure EQ is 90 degrees rotatable with a wider range of adjustment angles for a more comfortable ride.
Other comfort details (4.8/5)
The main explanation here is the more expensive Cannondale Adventure EQ.
At the footpegs, Adventure EQ is added with foldable footpegs. It has a lower storage space. And it will not be damaged during transportation or hanging on the rear of the bike.
Then there is the self-powered Dynamo light that facilitates night riding on excursions. No need to charge, you can always have lights that can be illuminated with some technological elements.
Benefits of the Cannondale Adventure
Aluminum low span frame for easy rider access Clean internal alignment Small 650b tires are very friendly to smaller riders Wide range of great paint colors The shock front fork absorbs ground vibrations Upright riding position Adventure EQ for easy storage and transport and self-powered Dynamo lights Disc brakes for precise braking
What we don’t like about it
Not very fast riding speed Only a speed number of 7 or 8

Trek Verve 3 Disc Lowstep vs Adventure EQ
Trek Verve 3 Disc Lowstep
The Trek Verve 3 Disc Lowstep is the choice of many casual commuter riders due to its superb comfort riding experience.
The frame design of these two models is very similar, and we think the Trek Verve 3 Disc Lowstep is a strong competitor to it. And both models share some similar improvements in the pursuit of ultimate comfort riding.
For example, the adjustable handlebar and suspension seatpost and hydraulic disc brakes are both used, but the Trek Verve 3 Disc Lowstep has a road bike pedigree without the limitations of a shock fork, so it can reach speeds of 35 mph on road rides. But that also makes the Trek Verve 3 Disc Lowstep a poor performer on rough trails compared to the Cannondale Adventure EQ.
Then there are the basics, although the Trek Verve 3 Disc Lowstep comes with a reserved rear rack and fender mounts, the original does not come with such components, and the Cannondale Adventure EQ has not only these components, but also a kickstand.
Finally, for night riding, both bikes can be fitted with lights, and the Cannondale Adventure EQ comes with Spanninga front and rear generator lights. This will make it much easier to ride at night.
So do you like the Trek Verve 3 Disc Lowstep that can go slightly faster? Or do you prefer the Cannondale Adventure EQ with more extra accessories for night riding?
Trek Dual Sport 3 vs Cannondale Adventure 1
Trek Dual Sport 3
One of the most direct competitors of the Cannondale Adventure is the Trek Dual Sport series. I chose the Trek Dual Sport 3 and Adventure 1, which are extremely close in price, to compare.
First is the frame, the Trek Dual Sport 3 doesn’t have a Lowstep type frame, which diverges them for the right crowd.
Next is the tire size, the Trek Dual Sport 3 is equipped with 700x40c tires. The Trek Dual Sport 3 tires are a bit larger for fast, hilly riding.
Then the Trek Dual Sport 3 is equipped with a 1X10 drivetrain, which has a wider range of gears than the Cannondale Adventure 1 and has great climbing ability.
Lastly, we see the Trek Dual Sport 3 with a 63mm travel shock fork with coil spring, preload, and hydraulic lockout, which provides better damping as far as the fork is concerned.
Overall, the Trek Dual Sport 3 is more suitable for the everyday adventurer who likes mountain riding. The Cannondale Adventure 1, on the other hand, is for the rider who likes a slower pace.
Schwinn GTX Hybrid Bike VS Cannondale Adventure 2
Schwinn GTX Comfort Adult Hybrid Bike
If you are on a budget, the Schwinn GTX Hybrid Bike will be a better fit for you.
The Schwinn GTX comes with an aluminum frame, 700x38c hybrid tires and a 50 mm travel shock fork. It’s enough of a setup to make a commuter rider happy. The MSRP can also be as low as under $500.
Yet the ride will be less comfortable than the Cannondale Adventure 2. The choice between these two models is more a matter of budget. The Cannondale Adventure 2 is a very good choice for a budget.
