Cannondale Scalpel 1

No, the bike is not supplied with pedals. You will need to purchase a set of mountain bike pedals separately to match your preferred riding style and cleat system.

The Scalpel 1 is a dedicated cross-country machine designed for speed and efficiency on varied terrain. With its 120mm of travel and aggressive geometry, it excels on fast, technical singletrack, race courses, and long-distance endurance rides.

The FlexPivot system uses carbon fiber chainstays that flex to act as a virtual pivot point. This eliminates the weight and maintenance of traditional bearings while providing a smooth, active suspension feel that tracks exceptionally well over rough terrain.

Not at all. Because it is a wireless electronic drivetrain, there are no cables to stretch or housing to replace, which keeps shifting precise over time. You simply need to ensure the battery is charged and the derailleur hanger is properly aligned.

Cannondale tailors the suspension kinematics and frame geometry for each specific frame size. This ensures that every rider, regardless of height, experiences the same balanced handling, traction, and suspension performance.

The SystemBar XC-One is a one-piece integrated unit, which offers a significant weight reduction and increased stiffness. While you cannot adjust the stem length or bar width, the design provides a clean, race-ready cockpit that is optimized for XC performance.
