About this bike
Just like a real surgeon, a trail surgeon has to be confident and prepared with top equipment; Cannondale's Scalpel 29 Carbon 2 takes care of those requirements. Cannondale poured over every detail to make it one of the lightest full-suspension 29ers in existence with a super stiff and efficient Ballistec HI-MOD carbon frame, oversize BB30 bottom bracket, and a rear through-axle. 100mm of rear suspension travel lets you hammer through techy obstacles without sacrificing speed or traction. The 1.5-inch head tube is paired with Cannondale's Lefty XLR fork for razor-sharp handling and pinpoint line selection. Tubeless-ready Stan's rims are matched with Schwalbe's Racing Ralph tires for sure-footed traction on the most demanding courses. And, nothing shifts quite like SRAM's utterly competitive 11-speed X01 drivetrain, while Cannondale's own Hollowgram Si crankset reliably pumps your power into the trail. Scrubbing speed is easy with Magura's hydraulic disc brakes at your command. Cannondale's ultra-light aluminum and carbon components are the icing on the cake, with low weight and superior ergonomics for total XC domination.
