The Cannondale Scalpel Carbon 2 Lefty is a light, fast cross-country bike that's as happy chasing podiums as it is blurring your local trails. Its lightweight carbon frame uses a FlexPivot chainstay and 120mm of Proportional Response tuned travel for efficient, responsive pedalling with enough capability for rough, technical courses.
Up front, the Lefty Ocho 120 fork gives smooth, precise steering, with a RockShox SIDLuxe Select+ shock at the rear. A TwistLoc Ultimate remote locks out both ends from the bar when you want maximum efficiency on climbs and sprints.
Shimano's XT Di2 electronic 12-speed drivetrain delivers fast, dependable shifting, with Shimano XT four-piston brakes for confident control. DT Swiss carbon wheels, Schwalbe XC RS Pro tyres and a Fox Transfer SL dropper complete a build that's ready to race.
