Cannondale Scalpel-Si Black Inc 29R Mountain Bike 2018
With their Black Inc bikes, Cannondale always pulls out all of the stops to create something that is truly remarkable. The Cannondale Scalpel-Si Black Inc 29R Mountain Bike 2018 is no exception, combining an elite level of components to create the best XC mountain bike that the American manufacturer has ever produced.
The BallisTec Hi-MOD Carbon frame layup features a geometry that has been honed for the highest level of XC competition. Cannondale has integrated short chainstays for traction and agility, a slack head angle for stability at speed and tight “trail” measurement for nimble handling at slower speeds - all of which combine to make this a truly remarkable XC frame.
Highly adjustable travel is provided by the iconic and lightweight Lefty Fork and a RockShox Monarch XX rear shock with 100mm of travel and a full sprint remote for when you need all of your power going down into the trail.
Shimano's XTR hydraulic disc brakes assure confidence-inspiring stopping power in the toughest conditions. Shimano also provides the gearing with their premium XTR Di2 electronic groupset. This precise gearing setup provides responsive shifting when you'd need it the most as well as handy self-trimming.
A bike of this reputation requires something a little special to finish it off and with ENVE full carbon handlebars and an ENVE seatpost you get just that - keeping the bike's weight down to an ultra-low level without effecting durability.
ENVE's M50 tubeless ready wheels have become a staple of the UCI World Cup XC circuit for good reason. Their lightness, stiffness and strength make them the perfect wheel for XC riding and their combination here with the Schwalbe Racing Ralph EVO Snakeskin ensures traction, speed and puncture protection across an extensive range of terrain.
