Next-Gen Geo and Suspension
Cross-country racing keeps evolving, and so does Scalpel. The more slack head tube angle and steeper seat tube angle mean powerful climbing and confident descending in the same platform, with 120mm of travel in front and in back to command any trail at max attack.
Rider-Focused, Race-Proven
The championship-winning Cannondale Factory Racing cross-country team made their needs clear: give us more. So we did. The new Scalpel brings more travel, more aggressive geometry, and more capable spec to dominate the XC courses of today, and your favorite trails tomorrow.
Rowdy Ready
To make the most of the ultra-capable suspension and geometry, the Scalpel’s spec goes big. Grippy 2.4” tires, short stems with wide bars, wide range gearing, and a dropper post. More control equals more speed.
