CANNONDALE SCALPEL 3

Hold on Tight

Thrill ride. With the most advanced XC suspension and geometry, and rowdy-ready spec, the new Scalpel redefines cross-country speed again.

Fast, light, and capable on XC courses or technical trails, the Scalpel 3 is built to fly. The frameset is made of our advanced lightweight carbon construction. Then it gets built up with a Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain, RockShox SID Select suspension both front and rear, and Stans NoTubes Crest MK4 rims for excellent speed and control.

The thrill of speed. Winning World Cup XC and Marathon races. High-speed trail slaying.
