    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.

    Model Description

    The Scalpel 2 is a light, fast, and thrilling XC machine, capable of winning races or just blurring the trail around you. It’s built on a frame made of our advanced Series 1 carbon construction. A SRAM GX Eagle T-Type wireless electronic 1x12-speed drivetrain, premium RockShox SID Select+ suspension both front and rear, and our light and fast HollowGram XC-S 27 carbon wheelset round out the build.

    What it's for

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

    Highlights

    • Superlight premium Series 1 Carbon frame with FlexPivot, 120mm travel, and Proportional Response-Tuned Suspension and Geometry
    • Race-ready RockShox SID Select+ 120mm fork and SIDLuxe Select+ rear shock
    • Durable, smooth-shifting SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission electronic wireless 12-speed group with Level Bronze Stealth brakes
    • Light and fast Cannondale HollowGram XC-S 27 carbon cross-country wheelset

    Travel Advisory
    Not just more travel – better travel. Thanks to the magic of our FlexPivot kinematics and Proportional Response suspension, Scalpel’s 120mm of travel delivers unreal traction, more control, and a hell of a lot more fun – with all the efficiency and responsiveness you’d expect from a World Cup race rig.
    Devilishly Fast
    Speed starts with the geometry, and Scalpel’s got the hole shot. It has a slack 66.6º head tube angle, a steeper 75.5º seat tube angle, and chainstays that get longer as the frames get bigger to keep the rider more balanced between the wheels. The result? More power and traction on the climbs, more pinpoint control in the corners, and a whole new level of confidence at speed.

    The Beauty of Speed

    This ain’t no fashion statement. This is pure, purposeful design. Every element of the Scalpel’s form is driven by function above all – kinematics, weight, stiffness, and capability. Features drive the shape, instead of the shape constraining the features. And fast looks good.
