Cannondale Scalpel HT Hi-MOD Ultimate

Cannondale Scalpel HT Hi-MOD Ultimate Overview

Cannondale Scalpel HT Hi-MOD Ultimate is a cross country hardtail mountain bike built for speed, efficiency, and endurance. The frame uses Scalpel HT Hi-MOD Carbon with Proportional Response Design, a tapered head tube, PF30-83 bottom bracket standard, 55mm chainline, Speed Release 12mm thru axle, and UDH hanger. Up front, the Lefty Ocho 120 Carbon fork delivers 110mm of travel with a Chamber Damper, remote lockout, OppO Spring System, tapered steerer, and 50mm offset.

The drivetrain is built around SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS wireless 12-speed shifting, matched with a SRAM XX1 Eagle DUB 34T crank and SRAM XG-1299 XX1 Eagle Rainbow 10-52 cassette. Braking is handled by SRAM Level Ultimate hydraulic disc brakes with 180/160 CenterLine X rotors. The bike rolls on HollowGram 25 Superlight Hi-Impact Carbon tubeless-ready rims with DT Swiss Competition Race straight-pull spokes and HollowGram hubs. Its tire setup pairs a Schwalbe Racing Ray EVO 29×2.25″ front tire with a Schwalbe Racing Ralph EVO 29×2.25″ rear tire.
