The New Cutting Edge. This is Cannondale’s latest evolution of the ultimate XC race bike. Ground-breaking suspension, aggressive geometry and feathery weight let you go full gas from the gun. Scalpel’s progressive geometry has evolved into an XC bike that’s more aggressive, lightning-fast, fun and stable everywhere, from the World Cup to your local loop. All Scalpels now have 120mm travel and dropper posts to suit the wider range and more technical nature of XC trails around the world today.
