Overview
About this bike
Cannondale's Scalpel 29'er Carbon 2 just happens to have 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. This rocket is podium ready with Stan's tubeless wheels and a winning mix of gear like an X9/XT/XTR drivetrain, Elixir 9 Carbon discs and Fizik and TruVativ parts.
