New Cannondale Scalpel limited edition

Cannondale has introduced two exclusive editions of its new Scalpel frame, the 100mm Cannondale Scalpel with IRD finish and the 120mm Scalpel SE with WOW paint.

Cannondale Scalpel IRD and Scalpel SE WOW, two unique mountain bikes

The Cannondale Scalpel 2021 has been one of the most important innovations in mountain biking in the last year thanks to its FlexPivot system, among others. Now the brand presents two totally exclusive and limited frame and suspension kits. Both will only be available in shop and there will be limited units in each country.

The Cannondale Scalpel IRD has 100mm of travel and includes a Lefty Ocho Carbon suspension fork. The IRD paint, short for iridescent, is inspired by the colours reflected by light bouncing off a soap bubble or pearl. The kit is priced at 4,999€.

The 120mm travel Scalpel SE WOW frame offers an all-black look with splashes of textured colour, inspired by the '80s of the 20th century. The Scalpel SE WOW is priced at 3,999€.

Both frames are made from Ballistec Hi-Mod carbon fibre with Proportional Response Tuned FlexPivot chainstays and feature the RockShox SIDLuxe Ultimate shock. Both come standard with the Stash system on the down tube, a Fabric 8in1 mini-tool and a Dynaplug tubeless repair kit. Sizes available are SM, MD, LG and XL.
