Cannondale Scalpel CRB SE 2 – Full Suspension Mountain Bike 2022 £3799.99

The Cannondale Scalpel Carbon SE 2 is a next-generation cross-country mountain bike that fuses World Cup speed with all-trail capability. Its full BallisTec carbon frame is super light and laterally stiff to afford a snappy, responsive ride and integrates a plush RockShox SIDLuxe Select+ rear damping unit to soak up the hardest hits. This damping unit is linked into the 4-bar FlexPivot suspension format that slashes weight, grants increased pedalling rigidity and improves rear-wheel traction across all surfaces. A partnering RockShox SID fork complements the frame by utilising its smooth 120mm of travel to heighten composure, comfort and line accuracy when the speeds are high over challenging terrain.

The progressive cross-country inspired geometry places the rider in a balanced and efficient position and incorporates frame-size specific suspension kinematics to guarantee a similar ride quality to riders of all sizes. Ideally positioned over the pedals, riders can drive powerfully through the wide-ranging, crisp-shifting Shimano 12-speed gear setup. This drivetrain propels bombproof, tubeless-ready wheels that are stopped in all conditions by confidence-inspiring hydraulic disc brakes. A dropper post completes the build, lowering the saddle out of the way when the riding is rapid and technical.
