CANNONDALE SCALPEL HM 1 MOUNTAIN BIKE 2021
The Cannondale Scalpel HM 1 Mountain Bike will meet the needs of the most demanding cross country racers. It's incredibly light with agressive geometry and ground-breaking suspension technology, delivering punchy acceleration and unmatched traction so you can go faster, have more fun on the trails, and chase those podium positions. With FlexPivot suspension in the frame, there are no compromises; you get both low weight and performance, with the carbon fibre flex zones giving you the same benefits as a Horst Link pivot while improving stiffness and durability. This suspension is customised for each frame size so every rider gets the same performance benefits. Unique Ai (Asymmetric Integration) is key to the bike's agile feel, with shorter chainstays that improve traction and add massive clearance for fat tyres and mud. The frame is paired with an ultralight Lefty Ocho fork, one that offers unparalleled precision handling, and when you hit rougher trails you'll really appreciate the confidence-inspiring stability. Shifting is taken care of by Shimano's XT and XTR 1x 12-speed drivetrain, which is silent and extremely precise. It marries a 34t front ring to a 10-51-tooth cassette, offering plenty of gears and smooth jumps between the cogs so you can easier maintain momentum and traction. Hydraulic discs bring both power and modulation to your braking in all conditions, while the strong, stiff 29" wheels roll fast and smooth over even the bigger obstacles. DirectLine routing keeps aesthetics sleek and makes cable installation a breeze. Aside from performance, the Scalpel HM includes a number of practical features too. The Stash kit sits under a water bottle and stows a Fabric mini tool, tubeless kit and CO2 inflator so you can take some of the bulk out of your pockets or bag, and you'll be well equipped when it comes to trail-side maintenance. There are two water bottle mounts on the frame, making it easy to stay hydrated and in peak condition.
HIGHLIGHTS
FlexPivot — The key to Scalpel’s incredible suspension
performance and light weight. These patented carbon fibre flex zones act just
like a Horst link pivot, but are lighter, stiffer and more durable than any
bearing setup Stash Kit — Everything you need for lighting fast trailside
repairs. A Fabric 8-in-1 mini tool in a quick-draw holster, a Dynaplug tubeless
plug kit, and your CO2 inflator, all stashed neatly under your water bottle
Lefty Ocho — Simply the most advanced, smoothest, most
precise-handling ultralight XC fork ever made. Its one-of-a-kind design lets it
float through the chop and steer through the chunder like nothing else
OutFront Steering Geometry — Lefty’s extra-long fork offset
gives you more stability and confidence when things get rough while keeping the
steering XC-quick everywhere else
Connected — An integrated wheel sensor delivers
hyper-accurate speed, route and distance info, registers your bike, reminds you
of needed servicing and more, all through the free Cannondale App
Ai (Asymmetric Integration) - The unique offset drivetrain
delivers big tyre/mud clearance while keeping the chainstays short for traction
and agility. It also creates a stiffer, stronger rear wheel
Proportional Response — Unlike the competition, who use the
same suspension kinematic across all sizes, Cannondale customise the layout of
suspension for each one, so that every rider, from the smallest to the tallest,
experiences the same brilliant suspension performance
Two water bottle mounts
Stiff. Light. Fast - At just over 1,900 grams (claimed, size
medium), complete with shock, the new Scalpel frame is one of the absolute
lightest dual-suspension MTB frames ever made
DirectLine Cable Routing — Tube-in-tube internal cable
routing in the frame and swingarm makes installing cables quick and easy
Shimano XTR, 1x12-speed drivetrain
