The Cannondale Scalpel Carbon 2, the ultimate XC competition bike. Revolutionary suspension, aggressive geometry and featherweight for full throttle.
The most advanced suspension ever made for XC. While other manufacturers sacrifice performance for weight reduction, our patented FlexPivot suspension offers both. Incredibly light, it offers a decisive boost in grip, acceleration and control, allowing you to ride virtually anywhere. Faster. More fun.
The progressive geometry of Scalpel has evolved further: head tube angle 1.5° more open, seat tube angle 1° straighter. The result is an XC frame that's more aggressive, faster, more exciting and more stable in every situation, from the World Cup to your local circuit.
The Lefty's large fork offset enhances stability and control on difficult terrain, while preserving responsiveness everywhere else.
The integrated wheel sensor provides ultra-precise information on speed, route and distance. It also allows you to register your bike and reminds you, among other things, of necessary maintenance operations, all via the Cannondale app.
Our asymmetrical offset drivetrain system offers generous tire clearance while retaining short chainstays for agility and traction. It also makes the rear triangle stiffer and more robust, making the Ai system a win-win solution.
The key to Scalpel's incredible lightness and suspension performance. These patented carbon plates create virtual Horst link pivots, while being stiffer and lighter than bearings. Incredibly durable. Incredibly flexible. And maintenance-free.
Unlike our competitors, who use the same suspension kinematics for all sizes, we tailor the suspension so that every rider, whatever their size, benefits from optimum suspension performance.
