Cannondale Scalpel 1 Overview
Cannondale Scalpel 1 is a cross country mountain bike built around a lightweight carbon Scalpel frame with 120mm travel, FlexPivot Chainstay design, and Proportional Response Suspension and Geometry. The Rally Red build uses a Fox Float Factory 34 SC fork, Fox Float SL Factory EVOL SV rear shock, and Fox Transfer SL Factory seatpost. Its SRAM XO Eagle AXS T-Type wireless electronic 12-speed drivetrain works with a 34T crank and 10-52 cassette for a wide-range XC setup.
The wheel package features DT Swiss XRC 1501 SPLINE ONE carbon rims with a 30mm inner width, hookless construction, and TSS tubeless-ready design. The tire setup pairs a front Maxxis Rekon Race WT 29×2.4″ with a rear Maxxis Aspen WT 29×2.4″, both with EXO Protection and tubeless-ready casings. SRAM Level Silver Stealth 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes and SRAM HS2 180/160mm rotors complete the control-focused build.
