Description
The Purest Form of Racing

A ripping fast, progressive XC Hardtail, purpose built to hurt ‘em on the ups, drop ‘em on the downs and propel you straight to the top step.

Model Description

Zero Fat, Full-on Fury. This is speed stripped down to its essence—the Scalpel HT 3 leaves nothing to chance. Its carbon frame launches forward with unbridled force, Shimano Deore shifting strikes with crisp efficiency, the RockShox Recon Silver fork traces any trail with unshakable traction, and the 29-inch wheels keep momentum high. Roll fast, roll long.

What it's for

High speed XC and Marathon racing. Chasing podiums and PRs.

Geometry

The purest form of racing

Confidence on edge

No hesitant, fistful-of-brakes descending here. The ultra slack, 66.5° front end gives you the stability and control you need to really open it up on the downhills. Brake later. Corner harder. Pass on the descents.

Stay centered
Scalpel HT’s Proportional Response size-specific chainstays and steep seat angle keep you balanced between the wheels for better traction and power on the ups, and more confident control on the downs.

Drop the chatter
Sculpted flex zones in the chainstays partner with dropped seatstays to eat up the chatter from rowdy terrain, boosting control, smoothing the ride, minimizing fatigue. Go harder. Go faster. Go farther.

Designed with purpose

  • Lefty Suspension® For over 20 years, Lefty has been smoother, stiffer, and more precise than anything else out there. When it comes to suspension performance, Lefty stands alone.
  • SmartSense™ SmartSense is Cannondale’s unique, discrete, and fully-integrated ecosystem of on-bike lights, rear-facing radar, sensors, and connected smartphone app. Designed to enhance visibility and awareness for you and other road-users alike, it’s the clever companion that inspires you to ride more, and with more confidence.
  • HeadShok™ Urban front suspension that’s head and shoulders above the rest. HeadShok delivers more comfort and control, with less weight, less wear, and less maintenance than conventional forks.
  • Delta Steerer Delta is an innovative steerer tube design that’s exclusive to Cannondale. The unique v-shape enables cables to be routed internally while minimizing the headtube’s frontal area, resulting in sleeker looks and less aero drag than other internally-routed road and gravel bikes.
  • KingPin™ With lightweight, bump-taming suspension built right into the frame, KingPin turns rough terrain into smooth sailing. It’s the extra boost you need to crush rugged paths, ride faster, and go further – no second thoughts needed!
