The new Cannondale Scalpel will be the steed on which riders like Mona Mitterwallner will chase down their Olympic dreams.
Mar 2024 · Mike Kazimer
The Scalpel's frame is longer, lighter, and it uses a threaded bottom bracket.
Mar 2024 · Hannah Dobson
The new Cannondale Scalpel has essentially been modernised to give it more travel, and more capable, more stable handling.
Jul 2023 · Tom Marvin
Sharp and snappy, but at times nervous, the Scalpel is best-suited to tight and punchy courses
Solid frame that transfers power well
Neat design touches on the frame
Quick handling
The Lefty Ocho left in the shadows of more established XC forks
Nervous on technical sections
Questionable tyre choice
Creaky BB
Jun 2023 · Ron Koch
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.
Mar 2022
Brand new for 2022, the Cannondale Scalpel HT is the first hardtail to wear the Scalpel name. Featuring progressive geometry, big tyre clearance and the option of a 110mm travel fork, the Scalpel HT promises to be a versatile XC race bike. So does it deliver? Read on for our Cannondale Scalpel HT review.
Lightweight & compliant carbon chassis
Proportional Response Design makes so much sense
Awesome all-round handling
Frame will accept a longer fork and bigger tyres
Marvellous paint job
Cheap, narrow tyres
Heavy wheels
No dropper
Lack of A.I offset
