Overview
About this bike
We didn't think there was a way to make Cannondale's Scalpel any faster. Then they made the Scalpel 29'er Carbon 1. And they just happened to make it one of the lightest full-suspension 29er frames in existence. Beyond light, it's one of the stiffest frames, helped by the use Ballistic high-modulus carbon and a rear through-axle as well. That stiffness, combined with super-short chainstays and dialed geometry, make this thing handle like a 26-inch hardtail, with the unfair benefit of 29-inch wheels and plush travel. You've got 100mm of race-proven, pivotless suspension in the back, and up front, the 100mm Lefty charges the way. Just like the frame and suspension, nothing but the best hangs off this bad boy like DT Swiss Tricon wheels, a SRAM XX group with XO discs and Fizik and Truvativ parts.
