Cannondale Scalpel Carbon 1 Lefty Dual Suspension Mountain Bike
Hold on Tight
One of the fastest and most capable cross-country mountain bikes on the planet, the Scalpel Carbon 1 is built for riders who want World Cup-winning performance on Victorian trails and beyond.
Cannondale Scalpel Carbon 1 Lefty — Lightweight Carbon XC Race Bike with SRAM XO Eagle AXS and DT Swiss Carbon Wheels
The Scalpel Carbon 1 is a purpose-built cross-country race machine that redefines what is possible on a trail bike. The lightweight carbon frame runs 120mm of travel through a FlexPivot chainstay and Proportional Response tuned suspension and geometry, delivering snappy, precise handling that translates directly to speed on XC courses and fast singletrack alike. The Lefty Ocho 120 Carbon fork brings unmatched steering precision and sensitivity with its Chamber Damper and OppO Spring System, controlled by a TwistLoc Ultimate remote dual lockout alongside the RockShox SIDLuxe Select+ rear shock. The one-piece SystemBar XC-One full carbon integrated bar and stem keeps the cockpit clean, aerodynamic, and fully internally routed for a race-ready finish. SRAM XO Eagle AXS T-Type 1×12-speed wireless electronic shifting delivers instant, precise gear changes without cables getting in the way, and SRAM Level Silver Stealth 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 180/160mm rotors give you reliable, powerful stopping at race pace. DT Swiss XRC 1501 Spline ONE carbon wheels with 30mm inner width and hookless tubeless construction roll on Maxxis Rekon Race and Aspen WT tubeless-ready tyres for fast, low-rolling-resistance performance on hardpack and mixed terrain — exactly what Victoria’s XC and marathon race courses demand. The Fox Transfer SL Performance Elite dropper post and Cannondale Wheel Sensor round out a build that is as technically advanced as it is fast.
