The Cannondale Scalpel Si Hi-MOD World Cup is an exciting XC racing bike designed to conquer the aggressive terrain of modern World Cup courses.
Conquer the XC tracks with short chainstays offering agile handling as well as climb-winning traction without compromising mud/tyre clearance or limiting you to single ring set-ups. The light construction of the BallisTec Carbon frame is stiff and converts more power into speed. Say no to energy-wasting flex with custom extra-long fork offsets for the OutFront Steering Geometry to ensure the bike delivers superior stability for rough tracks and harsh descents while still allowing it to be nimble and quick for other areas.
With up to 100mm of travel the Lefty Ocho carbon front suspension fork has that famous eye-catching lefty style and ensures to out-corner, out-handle and flat-out ride circles around its XC competition. Paired with the Fox Float DPS Performance EVOL rear shock, with up to 100mm of travel, delivering incredible descending capabilities and will ensure a comfortable riding experience.
The rear shock has been coated with Kashima, giving them increased durability and extreme resistance to wear and corrosion, even in salty gritty conditions. Kashima also reduces friction, meaning less heat build up and less need for servicing, as well as the glossy golden finish giving the bike incredible aesthetics too! The front suspension is also fitted with cable lockout mechanism allowing you to adjust your suspension to suit your needs; whether it be soft for rocky terrain or firm for harder, smoother surfaces.
Schwalbe Racing Ray tyres with aggressive tread in high-volume casing offers outstanding traction and combines well with the short chainstays to create a bike that lets you own the climbs.
Powerful Shimano Level Ultimate hydraulic disc brakes will ensure you can race down steep descents and manoeuver sharp corners confidently with their incredible stopping power and delivers all-weather capabilities to keep you riding all year round with consistent power.
The SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS 1x12 speed gear transmission ensures smooth, more precise electronic shifting to make light work of those steep inclines, with greater durability for a long lasting performance.
