CANNONDALE SCALPEL 2 BIKE

A thrilling ride. With the most advanced XC suspension and geometry and race-ready specifications, the new Scalpel once again redefines speed in cross country.

The Scalpel 2 is a sensational XC bike, lightweight and fast, designed to win races and dominate the trails around you. Frame built with our advanced Series 1 carbon. A wireless electronic SRAM GX Eagle T-Type 1x12-speed drivetrain, RockShox SiD Select+ suspension front and rear, and our fast and light HollowGram XC-S 27 carbon wheels complete the build.

Improved travel: We didn’t just increase the travel - we improved it. Thanks to the magic of FlexPivot kinematics and Proportional Response suspension technology, the Scalpel's 120mm travel ensures incredible traction, greater control, and a lot of fun - all with the efficiency and responsiveness expected from a World Cup-worthy bike.

Diabolically fast: Speed starts with geometry, and the Scalpel is already ahead. The open head angle (66.6°), the vertical seat angle (75.5°), and the size-specific chainstay length keep the rider more balanced. The result? More power and traction uphill, more precision in corners, and an unprecedented level of high-speed confidence.

The beauty of speed: It’s not a style statement. It’s the result of focused design. Every single element of the Scalpel is first and foremost functional: kinematics, weight, stiffness, and performance. Performance requires a specific shape, and it is not the pursuit of shape that limits performance. And fast also means beautiful.
