Rear Shock
The Scalpel-Si Hi-MOD 1 has a rear shock with a travel of 100mm. The model Fox Float Factory DPS EVOL is the one installed in this bike. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels size
As for the wheels, Cannondale Scalpel-Si Hi-MOD 1 2023, has a 29″ carbon model. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
