Cannondale 29'er Trail SL-4

Cannondale 29'er Trail SL-4 Basic stuff for Bikepacking?

Ordered one of these through Joe Morgan at Nytro Multisport today. Got a super dealer-deal on this one.
More or less a basic MTB 29'er with hydraulic brakes. Entry level stuff to see if it works for Bikepacking, Rando routes and basic trail riding.

Research and reviews on the 2013 model are scarce now, but indications are the frame is super and is the same one as on their lighter, higher end models. Components are basic lower end stuff. I guess the front shocks are marginal, at best... we'll see... don't know much about MTB's.

Should take a few weeks to get it in, then set it up for some Rando MTB Route recon!
Plan on developing a few MTB Rando Routes that kick some butt!
