COVID-19 Important collection and delivery information
Due to a combination of new working practices and demand our lead times for both collection and delivery have been extended.
Where delivery times are stated as a month this is based on the latest information from the manufacturer. These dates should be treated as a guide and may be subject to change. Due to an increase in global demand for bicycles and the disruption in supply during the COVID-19 pandemic supply chains have become very strained. Lead times are based on factory and shipping schedules both of which can be disrupted by delays in component supply and shipping/port capacity.
Should you place a future order with us for a bicycle we will monitor the bike’s ETA and keep you informed of any changes.

Description
Cannondale's Scalpel is a true World Cup ready cross country weapon. Built for ultimate speed whilst giving the rider the total confidence to nail the challenging technical sections found on modern World Cup circuits. Scalpel isn't just for racers though and is equally at home on your local XC loop and is the perfect tool for Strava smashing.
The Cannondale Scalpel thrives in competition, up and down hills and on challenging trails. Designed for speed, agility, handling the Scalpel balances all the requirements of XC in a super-efficient and lightweight package.
The Scalpel's frame is built using Cannondale's premium high-strength, high-stiffness carbon construction. An advanced blend of intermediate and high modulus fibres yields a frame that's extremely light, durable, and lively. The upper stays on the swingarm are engineered to flex, eliminating a pivot. This means less weight, less maintenance and better stiffness.
The Thru-axle pivot system creates a rock-solid connection between both sides of the swingarm for instantaneous response. No twist, no flex and no special tools required.
The Scalpel's Ai offset drivetrain delivers super short chainstays for climb-winning traction and agile handling, without sacrificing mud/tire clearance or limiting you to single ring set-ups.
OutFront Steering Geometry gives you the best of both worlds; confidently stable on hectic descents, yet quick and nimble everywhere else.
All 100mm travel Scalpels feature the Lefty Ocho fork. Probably the most accurately tracking XC fork available the Ocho's unique design does away with the squirm of traditional XC forks and is ultra-light too.
Cannondale's Scalpel is right for you if XC speed is what counts.
Please note: This Lefty Ocho fork fitted to this model requires the wheel to be attached in a unique manner. Details and information can be found in the Lefty Ocho manual Manual (external website).
IMPORTANT: This bicycle is supplied without pedals.
IMPORTANT: This bicycle requires a suspension pump to set and tune its suspension correctly. This is not included as standard.

Sizing information is provided as a general guide only. This is based on the average rider riding the bicycle in the style for which it is intended. This takes no account of a rider's personal proportions, physique, flexibility and biomechanics. If your height places you on, or near, a bicycle size step then we recommend you consider both sizes. All bicycles offer a range of handlebar and saddle adjustment which will enable you to fine tune your riding position once the correct size has been established. If you are unsure on sizing, we strongly recommend you visit our store so we can assist you. Pedal On offers advice and information on sizing in good faith, the final decision and responsibility on which size to purchase is yours.
