Andreassen's Cannondale Scalpel 2024, with which he won the Araxá 2024 XCO World Cup, in detail
The Cannondale Scalpel 2024 was presented just a few weeks ago and has just climbed to the top of the podium at the XCO World Cup in Araxá. In addition, it has done so on what may be the circuit that best justifies all the innovations that this new version incorporates. This is the LAB71 Scalpel by Simon Andreassen.

In detail the LAB71 Scalpel with which Simon Andreassen has won the XCO World Cup in Araxá
At first glance, the new Scalpel 2024 seems like a continuation of its original version presented in 2021, but as we were able to verify in our test, it is a model that has truly updated its performance thanks to the 120mm of travel front and rear, along with its new geometry and kinematics.

These innovations are justified by the current trend of a more technical and aggressive XCO. And perhaps the best example is the circuit of the past XCO World Cup in Araxá, where Simon Andreassen took the victory on a track full of Rock Gardens, imposing jumps, or sections of constant ups and downs.

As we saw a few weeks ago, the model for Andreassen and the rest of the Cannondale Factory Racing team is the LAB71, the top-of-the-line Scapel where the brand claims not to have considered the price to focus on performance.
