Cannondale Scalpel 3 Overview
Cannondale Scalpel 3 is a cross country mountain bike built with a lightweight carbon Scalpel frame, 120mm travel, Proportional Response Suspension and Geometry, and FlexPivot Chainstay design. The suspension package includes a RockShox SID Select 120mm fork with DebonAir spring and a RockShox SIDLuxe Select+ rear shock with 2-position mode adjustment and adjustable rebound.
