BICYCLE CANNONDALE SCALPEL 2

BICYCLE CANNONDALE SCALPEL 2

A spine-tingling ride. Thanks to the more advanced XC suspension and geometry and race-ready specs, the new Scalpel redefines speed in cross country once again.

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

Improved travel: We didn’t just increase travel—we improved it. Thanks to the FlexPivot kinematics magic and Proportional Response suspension technology, Scalpel’s 120 mm of travel delivers incredible traction, more control, and a ton of fun—all with the efficiency and immediacy you expect from a World Cup-worthy bike.

Devastatingly fast: Speed starts with geometry and Scalpel is already advantaged. The open head angle (66.6°), the vertical seat angle (75.5°), and the size-tuned chainstay length keep the rider more balanced. The result? More power and traction uphill, more cornering precision, and a level of high-speed security never seen before.

The beauty of speed: It’s not a branding statement. It’s the result of targeted design. Every single element of Scalpel is first and foremost functional: kinematics, weight, stiffness, and performance. Performance requires a given shape; designing to a shape does not limit performance. And fast also means beautiful.
