The Scalpel LAB71 that will go to Paris 2024 is dressed in Olympic colors
The Cannondale Factory Racing will be represented at the 2024 Paris Olympics by Danish Simon Andreassen, Austrian Mona Mitterwallner, South African Alan Hatherly, and British Charlie Aldridge, and all seem to be competing with this special edition of the Scalpel LAB71 customized with the colors of the Olympic rings.

The Cannondale Scalpel special edition for the Paris Olympics
Against a completely bright white background that covers the frame and the Lefty Ocho Carbon fork, a pattern stands out that combines the 5 colors of the Olympic rings, one for each continent.
The Scalpel LAB71 features a frame made of Series 0 carbon, the lightest and most elite material from the brand. A material reserved for its most exclusive bikes where only performance is sought regardless of price.

In addition, this Olympic Scalpel has a very special setup that highlights the FSA wheels with textile spokes or the prototype handlebar that we recently saw in the special edition of the Rockrider 940s that will also be at the Olympics.
