Overview
About this bike
Cannondale's Scalpel Ultimate can mean two things: XC race domination and riding your buddies into the ground! Its svelte carbon frame boasts remarkable carbon stays that provide 80mm of efficient, pivot-free travel controlled by RockShox's Monarch shock. It's balanced by a Lefty Speed Carbon fork that's stiff, smooth and weighs just under 3 pounds! To put this bike and you on top, SRAM's XX 10-speed group supplies the perfect gear range and powerful braking. Its 2-ring setup and liberal use of carbon make it lighter than some road groups out there, while still retaining the durability needed for mountain biking. Plus, featherweight Mavic wheels, Schwalbe tires, an FSA carbon bar and post, and a Fizik saddle cut even more weight for a podium-topping ride.
