It can absolutely go as fast as the rider is able

Based on an XC race bike rather than enduro, the new Scalpel SE is fast, light & rips thru singletrack, as long as you set it up right. Here's the review!

May 2020 · Bobby Lea
Fast enough for XC races and big enough to rip descents
Lightweight frame with modern geometry
Non-racers may want knobbier tires

The Cannondale Trail 5 is a new addition to the £750 category and features a Smartform aluminium frame, which is one of the most comfortable here.
Frame has excellent feel and ride quality...
But it’s also too tall and lacks stand-over clearance

Cannondale's Proportional Response suspension design and the all-new Habit features 130mm of suspension fit for riders of different sizes. - Mtbr.com

Good looking, comfortable and fast but hits big bumps hard and feels twitchy on more technical trails. Buy if you want a great frame at a value price and plan to use your bike off of the trails as well as on them
Good looking alloy SAVE frame that’s noticeably more comfortable than most at this price. Fast tyres and rack mounts make it a useful weekday workhorse and Shimano gears are dependably durable
Narrow bar, long stem, wooden feeling brakes and skinny tyres all undermine technical trail confidence. Straight steerer RockShox XC30 fork is adequate but certainly not amazing for the price
