Description
Fast, precise, stable, the Cannondale Scalpel Carbon SE 2 Mountain Bike will excel, be that on fast technical singletrack or in marathon races. The incredibly light frame has been engineered with innovative FlexPivot suspension for the best possible traction and control, and both this and the RockShox fork, offer 120mm of plush travel so you'll roll faster and smoother over the harshest and rockiest of terrain. Using Proportional Response in the design, each frame size is fine-tuned to cater for every rider in the same way, so whether you're on the biggest or the smallest size, you'll reap the same benefits. The progressive XC geometry, with a slacker headtube angle and a unique offset Ai (Asymmetric Integration) drivetrain and shorter chainstays brings stability, improved traction and an agile ride feel, and there's more clearance for wider tyres.
The technology-packed frameset is paired with a mix of SRAM's Eagle SX and Shimano components. The 1x12-speed SRAM drivetrain features a wide-ranging 11-50-tooth cassette that offers the small gears you need for steep climbs but won't hold you back when it comes to those high-speed descents. The braking is powerful and modulated and comes courtesy of Shimano MT500 hydraulic discs. With 29" wheels, you get faster rolling over larger obstacles, and the bike has a dropper seatpost so you can quickly move it out of the way for better manoeuvrability on tricky drops and steep descents.
