The New Cutting Edge. Scalpel SE is the ultimate marathon racer and high-speed trail slayer. World Cup fast and all-mountain fierce – this is next-level cross-country mountain bike performance. <strong>Where it thrives:</strong> High-speed trails <strong>What it’s built for:</strong> Full-throttle trail riding <strong>FEATURES</strong>:<br> <ul> <li> <strong>Superior suspension. Superior traction:</strong> Scalpel SE’s patented FlexPivot suspension results in more grip, more control, and more speed. 120mm of plush travel works so well that it feels like so much more – meaning all-day singletrack sessions are a gas.</li> <li> <strong>Big trail capability:</strong> Scalpel’s progressive XC attitude has evolved even further with a slack and stable 67˚ headtube angle – combined with shorter stems, bigger tires, dropper posts and bigger travel: if you love riding trails fast, precise and in full control, then this is the bike for you.</li> <li> <strong>Light. Stiff. Fast:</strong> Don’t settle for just two. Pick all three. With its full carbon frame and new 4-bar FlexPivot suspension, the Scalpel is one of the lightest and stiffest full-suspension mountain bikes available. Built light to go fast = built right to have a blast.</li> </ul> <strong>SPECS:</strong> <strong>Frame</strong> <span>Scalpel SE Carbon, 120mm travel, Proportional Response Tuned, FlexPivot Chainstay, PF30-83, Tapered Headtube, Speed Release 12mm thru axle, Ai offset, Stash compatible</span> <strong>Fork</strong> <span>RockShox SID Select+ RL, 120mm, Debonair, 15x110mm thru-axle, tapered steerer, 44mm offset</span> <strong>Rear Shock</strong> <span>RockShox SIDLuxe Select+, 2-Pos mode adjust, adjustable rebound</span> <strong>Rims/Wheels</strong> <span>HollowGram 25, Superlight Hi-Impact Carbon, 28h, 25mm IW, tubeless ready</span> <strong>Hubs</strong> <span>DT Swiss, 12x148 [R], Formula, 15x110 [F]</span> <strong>Spokes</strong> <span>DT Swiss Competition Race, straight-pull</span> <strong>Tires</strong> <span>(F) Maxxis Ardent Race, 29 x 2.35", EXO Protection, tubeless ready, (R) Maxxis Recon Race, 29 x 2.25", EXO Protection, tubeless ready</span> <strong>Crankset</strong> <span>HollowGram, BB30a, OPI SpideRing, Ai offset</span> <strong>Chainrings</strong> 32T <strong>Bottom Bracket</strong> <span>Cannondale Alloy PressFit30</span> <strong>Chain</strong> <span>Shimano SLX, 12-speed</span> <strong>Front Derailleur</strong> N/A <strong>Rear Derailleur</strong> <span>Shimano XT</span> <div> <div><strong>Cassette/Rear Cogs</strong></div> </div> <span>Shimano XT, 10-51, 12-speed</span> <strong>Shifters</strong> <span>Shimano XT, 12-speed</span> <strong>Handlebars</strong> <span>Cannondale 1 Riser, Carbon, 31.8mm, 9° sweep, 4° rise, 780mm</span> <strong>Stem</strong> <span>Cannondale 1, 7075 Alloy, 1-1/8", 31.8, 7°</span> <strong>Brakes</strong> <span>Shimano XT hydraulic disc, 180/160mm XT rotors</span> <strong>Pedals</strong> N/A <strong>Saddle</strong> <span>Fabric Scoop Flat Elite, cro-mo rails</span> <strong>Seat Post</strong> <span>Cannondale DownLow Dropper, internal routing, 31.6, 100mm (S), 125mm (M-L), 150mm (XL)</span>
