Overview

About this bike

Give yourself an edge over the competition with Cannondale's Scalpel 29 Carbon Team! Cannondale pored over every detail to make it one of the lightest full-suspension 29ers in existence with a super stiff, mega-efficient Ballistec HI-MOD carbon frame, oversize BB30 bottom bracket, and a rear through-axle. 100mm of rear suspension travel lets you fly through techy terrain with speed and traction. Up front, the 1.5-inch head tube is paired with Cannondale's 100mm Lefty Carbon XLR fork for razor-sharp handling and pinpoint line selection. And of course, this high-end XC rocket is dressed in top-tier equipment: Cannondale's amazing carbon wheels, an utterly competitive 11-speed SRAM XX1 drivetrain powered by Cannondale HollowGram cranks, SRAM Guide Ultimate brakes, and a carbon handlebar and seatpost topped with a Prologo saddle. In the competitive world of cross country riding and racing, the Scalpel 29 Carbon Race is your edge.
