If 2024 had travel, it would be 120mm. Most modern cross-country bikes are letting their hair down and embracing the shredly side of racing. Cannondale tip-toed in the XC-plus or downcountry category in the last iteration of the Scalpel with the SE. Offering more travel and life to the bike, more than between the tape. The 120mm option was so popular amongst the Cannondale crew that it made its way into the big show, but with some cross-country race tweaks to make it purely Cannondale.
We agree, but I’ll wait for the final verdict until our review model comes in. It sounds like a clean design, but 120mm travel might embolden some extra sends from the down county folks and some extra work for that carbon 4-bar design.Since the suspension and feel are such a character of the new Scalpel, the design team wanted to keep the feel uniform across the entire line, regardless of size. Cannondale customizes suspension kinematics for each frame size .
On a different note has anybody watched the Absa Cape Epic marathon XC race that took place last week? Either I didn’t read the captioning properly or it mentioned something about a rider’s ‘health issues’, I thought Mona appeared a bit ‘bloated’ in her face and belly. Did she recently give birth or actually has some health issues?
