2022 Cannondale Scalpel Carbon SE 1

Rail the trail with confidence and aggression on the 2022 Cannondale Scalpel Carbon SE 1 full suspension trail mountain bike and watch KOMs drop and the Strava kudos flow.

The Cannondale Scalpel Carbon SE 1 is a premium full suspension mountain bike that knows how to produce speed when you want it and comfort on the techy trails when you need it.

With a 120mm suspension system built around a RockShox SID Select+ RL fork and RockShox SiDLuxe Select+ shock, the carbon frame flies across trails made for cross-country racers while offering up all the functions you’d expect on rougher rocky trails with plenty of technical chops.

Scalpel SE’s patented FlexPivot suspension results in more grip, control, and speed. 120mm of plush travel works so well that it feels like so much more – meaning all-day singletrack sessions are a gas.

Scalpel’s progressive XC attitude has evolved even further with a slack and stable 67˚ headtube angle – combined with shorter stems, bigger tires, dropper posts and bigger travel: if you love riding trails fast, precise, and in full control, then this is the bike for you.

Don’t settle for just two. Pick all three. With its full carbon frame and new 4-bar FlexPivot suspension, the Scalpel is one of the lightest and stiffest full-suspension mountain bikes available. Built light to go fast = built right to have a blast.

Scalpel SE is the ultimate marathon racer and high-speed trail slayer. World Cup fast and all-mountain fierce – this is next-level cross-country mountain bike performance.
