CANNONDALE SCALPEL 1

Hold on Tight

Thrill ride. With the most advanced XC suspension and geometry, and rowdy-ready spec, the new Scalpel redefines cross-country speed – again.

Built for winning races and scorching trails, the Scalpel 1 is one of the fastest, lightest, and most capable mountain bikes on the planet. The frame is crafted with our advanced lightweight carbon construction. SRAM’s potent XO AXS wireless electronic group handles the shifting. It rolls on speedy DT-Swiss XCR 1501 Spline carbon wheels, and features the top-of-the-line Fox Float Factory 34 SC Fork, Float Factory SL shock, and Factory Transfer SL Seatpost.

The thrill of speed. Winning World Cup XC and Marathon races. High-speed trail slaying.
