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.

Against a white background stand out the colors of the Olympic rings: blue, black, red, green, and yellow, one for each continent

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.

The LAB71 label is only used by Cannondale for its most exclusive models, in this case indicating that the frame is made of Series 0 carbon, which best combines strength, rigidity, and low weight.

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.

The shape of the vertical tube next to the bottom bracket is one of the most prominent features in the new Scalpel, increasing stiffness in the area without adding weight and gaining space for a second water bottle. Pay attention to the detail of the green and red interior of the chainstays and seatstay
Shimano XTR 4-piston brakes, 120mm Lefty Carbon Ocho fork with the detail of the carbon protector, and prototype FSA wheels
The FlexPivot system of the Scalpel. The flat area of the chainstay uses the properties of carbon and the structure design to improve absorption and traction without increasing weight.
FOX seatpost and shock, complete Shimano XTR groupset, and a prototype FSA handlebar that promises to be very light. Everything ready to try to win an Olympic medal with this Scalpel LAB71
