Scalpel-Si Carbon 2 components

Fork

The fork installed on this bike is the Cannondale Lefty model. The travel on this model is 100mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.

Fork material

The fork is made out of carbon, so, it is super light and stiff. In conclusion, a carbon fork gives you great control when steering, and is also more forgiving.

Rear Shock

From the factory, it comes with the RockShox Monarch XX rear shock model, which has a travel of 100mm. Rear shocks give you increased comfort, control, and traction, which is important when cornering or braking. This allows you to ride faster on bumpy roads. In short, a full-suspension bike will give you the smoothest ride possible.

Wheels

The wheels on Scalpel-Si Carbon 2 are the 29″ carbon type. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.

Brakes

When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Scalpel-Si Carbon 2 has Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.

Sizes

Cannondale Scalpel-Si Carbon 2 2017 is available in one size only. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
