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.

Contemporary angles, a forgiving frame and decent spec mean the Trail SE 4 has a lot of promise, but the short reach and top tube limit trail potential when things get more technical
Good-quality Shimano drivetrain
Upgrade potential
Comfortable when cruising and climbing
Brakes lack power and urgency
Coil-sprung fork is too hard for light riders
Long stem affects responsiveness of steering
Heavy compared to competition

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 all-new Cannondale Scalpel comes in 100mm and 120mm travel versions, both using the same frame., and gets lighter & more capable with a new suspension!

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
