Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Scalpel Carbon Women’s SE bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. These wheels are more forgiving when you go over roots, rocks, bumps, or other obstacles you encounter on your ride. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Cannondale Scalpel Carbon Women’s SE is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Sizes

Dropper post
A dropper post is included with the Scalpel Carbon Women’s SE. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
