The Scalpel 2 Lefty is built for riders who want cross-country speed without giving up control when the trail turns rough. Light, sharp and highly capable, it is made to chase race results, attack technical sections and keep the ride feeling fast from the first pedal stroke.

Suspension That Feels Smarter: This bike goes beyond adding travel by making every millimetre work harder. With FlexPivot kinematics and Proportional Response suspension, the 120 mm travel delivers better traction, more control and a more planted ride feel while still keeping the responsive character expected from a top-tier XC machine.

Lefty Precision Advantage: The Lefty Ocho fork is one of the standout elements of the Scalpel experience. Its distinctive design and needle bearing internals help reduce friction, delivering impressive smoothness, fast response and steering precision that gives the rider more confidence when pushing hard through technical terrain.

Built to Stay Fast Everywhere: The carbon FlexPivot frame works in perfect balance with the Lefty front end to create a ride that feels efficient on climbs and composed on descents. Whether the goal is race-day pace or high-speed trail riding, the frame is designed to maintain grip, stability and pedalling efficiency across changing terrain.

Geometry That Pushes Harder: Scalpel’s geometry is tuned to help the rider stay balanced and aggressive at speed. A slack 66.6º head tube angle adds control on descents, a steeper 75.5º seat tube angle improves climbing position and size-specific chainstay lengths help keep weight distribution more consistent across the range.

Race-Ready Specification: The build is designed for serious performance from front to rear. Shimano XT Di2 delivers fast and accurate digital shifting, 4-piston brakes stay dependable on demanding descents and DT Swiss XRC 1900 carbon wheels help keep the bike light, responsive and ready to accelerate hard whenever the trail opens up.

The Cannondale Scalpel 2 Lefty Mountain Bicycle is a thrilling XC machine built for riders who want race-level speed, sharp handling and confident control on every fast and demanding trail.
