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.
May 2023 · Sarah Bedford
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

The big tube brand wants to blow up your tires too now, is Guy Kesteven pumped about that or a bit let down?
Fast, smooth, mid-volume action
Neat locking Presta or Schraeder head
Flexible pull-out hose
Tough machined construction and quality feel
Secure travel lock and frame clip
More ‘Midi’ than ‘Mini’ in length and weight
Quality costs
Can trap your hand
Hard top and bottom out
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 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
