Cannondale Scalpel Carbon SE, Pink

The New Cutting Edge – The Scalpel SE is the ultimate high-speed bike for marathon races and your home trails. Worldcup speed paired with all-mountain DNA: this is cross-country performance in a new dimension.

Superior suspension. Superior traction. 
The Scalpel SE’s patented FlexPivot suspension system provides more grip, more control and more speed. Its 120 mm travel works so well that it feels like much more – riding single trails all day long? Just that!

Up to the toughest trails.
The progressive understanding of XC of Scalpel taken to the next level with a flat 67 degree steering angle, combined with a shorter stem, wider tyres, telescopic seatpost and more travel: if you like to fly fast and with maximum control over the trails, this is the bike for you.

Lightweight. Stiff. Fast.
Don’t settle for two of them. You can have all three! Thanks to its carbon frame and new FlexPivot four-joint platform, the Scalpel is one of the lightest and stiffest full suspension bikes around. Lightweight built to ride fast = Right built to ride hard.

FlexPivot
The key to the Scalpel’s incredible suspension performance and light weight. The patented carbon flex zones behave like a Horst link on a four-joint rear triangle, but are lighter, stiffer and more durable than any construction that has to stock.

STASH Kit 
Everything you need for quick repairs on the road is included. A Fabric 8-in-1 mini tool in a DeepL access holster, a Dynaplug tubeless patch kit, a CO2 cartridge, all discreetly hidden under your water bottle. Quick and easy.

Connected
An integrated wheel sensor provides extremely accurate readings for speed, route and distance, helps you register your bike, reminds you of service intervals and more – all via the free Cannondale app.

Ai – Asymmetric Integration
Cannondale’s unique drive system provides high tire clearance while keeping chainstays short for high traction and agile handling. It also makes for a stiffer and more resilient rear wheel. Ai is a win-win-win situation!

Proportional Response
Unlike most competitors who use the same spring characteristic curve across all frame sizes, Cannondale adjusts the suspension individually for each size. So every rider, from the smallest to the biggest, can enjoy the fantastic suspension performance.

Two bottle cages
Enough water, even without a backpack. Hallelujah!

DirectLine cable routing
Internal “tube-in-tube” cable routing in the main frame and rear frame ensures easy cable and line installation.
