Scalpel HT’s Proportional Response size-specific chainstays and steep seat angle keep you balanced between the wheels for better traction and power on the ups, and more confident control on the downs.
Full size-specific frame geometry, right down to the chainstay lengths. Keeps the rider centered between the wheels for incredible traction and handling.
Super slack 66.5° head angle delivers confidence and speed on steep descents that other XC bikes just can't match.
An integrated wheel sensor delivers hyper accurate speed, route and distance info, registers your bike, reminds you of service needs and more, all through the free Cannondale App.
