Cannondale’s industry-leading bikes have earned the admiration of serious cyclists for several years, incorporating bespoke components and outstanding engineering. These values are evident throughout all aspects of their latest launch, the cross-country Cannondale Scalpel 1.

Engineered to deliver a thrilling riding experience, the Cannondale Scalpel 1 is a versatile model equally at home roaming cross-country or ascending the mountains. Featuring the manufacturer’s most advanced XC suspension and geometry to date, it’s a cutting-edge bike that aims to redefine the possibilities.

Designed with race-winning potential in mind, the Cannondale Scalpel 1 is exceptionally lightweight without compromising on raw power and performance. Everything from the carbon-constructed frame to the SRAM’s potent XO AXS wireless electronic group to manage the handling speaks to the bike’s professional-level construction.

Acceleration and speed are elevated thanks to the DT-Swiss XRC 1501 Spline carbon wheels, while the Factory SL shock and Factory Transfer SL Seatpost ensure a consistently comfortable ride. Throw in the manufacturer’s FlexPivot kinematics and Proportional Response suspension, and riders can enjoy uncompromising traction and support on the roughest of terrains.

The depth of innovation evident in the Cannondale Scalpel 1 continues through the finer details, such as the variable head and seat tube angles that reinforce the frame on step climbs and descents.

Bring all of these design elements together, and the Cannondale Scalpel 1 promises to deliver a truly adaptable mountain biking experience through a purposeful design that removes all constraints for the rider.
