Product details

Cannondale Scalpel Carbon 3: full-suspension MTB for XC and marathon

The Cannondale Scalpel Carbon 3 is a full-suspension mountain bike with 29-inch wheels, designed for cross country, marathon, and technical trails. The carbon frame delivers 120 mm of rear travel and is paired with a fork offering the same travel. The platform combines suspension and geometry dedicated to XC riding, with solutions sized according to the Size.

FlexPivot and 120 mm RockShox suspension

The FlexPivot chainstays use carbon sections that act as virtual pivots, without bearings at those articulation points. The Proportional Response system adapts the suspension kinematics to the Size of the frame. The RockShox SID Select fork works together with the SIDLuxe Select+ shock, featuring rebound adjustment and a two-position function.

29-inch wheels and dropper seatpost

The Stan's NoTubes Crest MK4 rims are paired with 2.4-inch Maxxis tires, with a Rekon Race WT at the front and an Aspen WT at the rear. The Cannondale DownLow Dropper seatpost lets you lower the saddle on technical sections. Completing the setup are the Shimano XT 12-speed rear derailleur and Deore M6100 hydraulic disc brakes.
