The SE version of the Scalpel uses the same frame as that ultra-light steed but with a longer-stroke shock and increased fork travel to combine the best attributes of a dedicated cross-country and trail bike into one machine.

This hardtail impressed us greatly with its all-round capability, compliance and seriously good spec for the price tag
Value for money
Slack head angle and SID SL fork give control and confidence
Strong-performing, mid-range drivetrain and brakes
Seat tube bottle boss position limits post-insertion depth
Chain slap
Brake pad rattle

For those times when even a regular Scalpel is too blunt an instrument.

Now, just over a week later, we have the full details for the Cannondale Scalpel HT that replaces the F-Si as the brand's XC race hardtail..

Does the Cannondale Scalpel SE 1 slice and dice with life-saving precision, or does it need another trip to the operating room to turn it into a truly modern XC rig?
Efficient pedaling and climbing
Smooth and responsive RockShox suspension
Powerful Shimano brakes
Confident and predictable handling
Dependable dropper post
Geometry could go slacker and longer
Chain guide is extraneous and vulnerable
Marketing it as a trail bike is confusing
