For This Bike
May 2021 · Alex Evans
A smooth-riding, future-proof frame with good trail manners and a solid spec as a starting point
Smooth-riding frame
Reliable Deore drivetrain with good chain control
Frame has upgrade potential
Fairly traditional XC shape could limit progression
Fork spring rate isn’t easily adjustable
Rattly internal cable routing

How much difference can 20mm of travel make?

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
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
