CANNONDALE SCALPEL 4 BIKE

An exhilarating ride. With the most advanced XC suspension and geometry and race-ready specifications, the new Scalpel once again redefines cross-country speed.
Aiming for the podium in both XC races and on trails, the Scalpel 4 is always ready to go fast. Built with our advanced Series 1 carbon frame, it is completed by a Shimano Deore/XT 12-speed drivetrain, RockShox SiD suspension with remote lockout, and Stan's NoTubes Crest S2 rims that ensure speed and control.
The thrill of speed. A winner in XC and Marathon. Dominate the trails at full speed.

Enhanced 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 120 mm travel ensures incredible traction, greater control, and tons of fun – all with the efficiency and responsiveness expected from a World Cup-worthy bike.

Devilishly fast: Speed starts with geometry, and the Scalpel is already ahead. The slack head angle (66.6°), upright seat angle (75.5°), and size-specific chainstay length keep the rider better balanced. The result? More power and traction on climbs, greater precision in corners, and unprecedented confidence at high speeds.

The beauty of speed: It's not a style statement. It’s the result of intentional design. Every single element of the Scalpel is functional first: kinematics, weight, stiffness, and performance. Performance requires a specific form; the pursuit of form does not limit performance. And fast also means beautiful.
