Cannondale Scalpel SE 2 27.5" Mountain Bike 2018 - Trail Full Suspension MTB
The Cannondale Scalpel SE 2 27.5” full suspension mountain bike is a bit of an animal. It’s what you get when you take Cannondale’s ultimate XC bike, and beef it up with a little more travel and some tougher components.
Constructed from Cannondale’s BallisTec carbon fibre, the Scalpel MTB is built on an incredibly lightweight yet sturdy foundation. Cannondale’s ‘Zero Pivot’ seatstays eliminate the pivot bearing that would normally split the stays. Instead, they have engineered the carbon fibre to allow a small amount of vertical flex to achieve the same result. The beauty of this is that, not only does it help lighten the frame, there’s no loss of lateral rigidity as you’d find with a bearing, and the carbon fibre itself doesn’t wear out over time and suffer play & looseness as a bearing would.
The Cannondale Scalpel SE 2 MTB is available in both 27.5” and 29er wheels, depending on the frame size. The 27.5” version here is available in a size small, while taller riders looking for larger frames may prefer the Medium, Large or X Large Cannondale Scalpel SE 2 29er mountain bike.
The Scalpel SE comes with a boost in travel, up from 100mm to 115mm at the rear, giving it the freedom to take on tougher trails with greater vigour. Up front, travel is extended by 20mm from the regular Scalpel’s 100mm, delivering 120mm or trail-shredding travel that lets you take on rough and tough descents at full pace. The Scalpel SE also comes with a height-adjustable dropper post, making for a highly versatile and capable ride.
Up front, Cannondale have employed a Fox Float 24 Performance Elite fork with a FIT4 damper to keep the front under control, while at the rear a Fox Float Performance DPS rear shock, complete with EVOL high volume canister, soaks up the bumps with ease.
The Cannondale Scalpel 2 SE comes equipped with SRAM’s new GX Eagle 1x12 speed drivetrain, delivering a massive 500% gear ratio from the 10-50T cassette, along with a simple single-shifter. The brakes on the Scalpel SE 2 also come from SRAM, with their Level TL hydraulic discs and 180mm rotor giving the bike plenty of stopping power for some enthusiastic trail riding.
When the ultimate XC machine unleashes its dark side, the Cannondale Scalpel SE 2 full-sus mountain bike is the trail shredding machine you get.
