Cannondale Scalpel Carbon 2 Dual Suspension Mountain Bike (2025)

The Cannondale Scalpel Carbon 2 Dual Suspension Mountain Bike (2025) redefines what a cross country bike can do. Built with an ultra-light carbon FlexPivot frame offering 120mm travel, it delivers speed and control on demanding XC courses. Shimanos XT Di2 wireless drivetrain ensures precise electronic shifting, while the RockShox SID Select+ RL fork and SIDLuxe shock soak up the hits. A DT Swiss XRC 1900 carbon wheelset, Cannondales DownLow dropper post, and carbon cockpit make this dual suspension mountain bike the perfect choice for riders chasing podiums or fast trail adventures.

Travel Advisory

Not just more travel better travel. Thanks to the magic of our FlexPivot kinematics and Proportional Response suspension, Scalpels 120mm of travel delivers unreal traction, more control, and a hell of a lot more fun with all the efficiency and responsiveness youd expect from a World Cup race rig.

Devilishly Fast

Speed starts with the geometry, and Scalpels got the hole shot. It has a slack 66.6 head tube angle, a steeper 75.5 seat tube angle, and chainstays that get longer as the frames get bigger to keep the rider more balanced between the wheels. The result? More power and traction on the climbs, more pinpoint control in the corners, and a whole new level of confidence at speed.

The Beauty of Speed

This aint no fashion statement. This is pure, purposeful design. Every element of the Scalpels form is driven by function above all kinematics, weight, stiffness, and capability. Features drive the shape, instead of the shape constraining the features. And fast looks good.
