The Cannondale Scalpel HT Carbon 4 is engineered to redefine what you expect from an XC hardtail. Its carbon frame incorporates Cannondale's Proportional Response Design, which tailors the frame geometry to different sizes, ensuring optimal balance and handling for every rider. The ultra-slack 66.5° head angle offers confidence-inspiring stability on descents, allowing you to brake later and corner harder.
This bike is not just about downhill prowess—its steep seat angle and size-specific chainstays keep you centred for efficient power transfer on climbs. The sculpted flex zones in the chainstays, combined with dropped seatstays, work together to absorb trail chatter, providing a smoother, more controlled ride that reduces fatigue on long rides.
Equipped with a RockShox SID SL fork offering 100mm of travel, the Scalpel HT Carbon 4 is ready to tackle technical terrain with ease. Shimano's Deore 12-speed drivetrain ensures smooth and precise shifting, while the Shimano MT501 hydraulic disc brakes deliver powerful stopping power in all conditions. The WTB STX i23 wheels, paired with Schwalbe Racing Ray and Ralph tyres, provide excellent grip and durability, making this bike a formidable competitor on any cross-country course.
