Scalpel Carbon Women’s 2 components
Fork
This bike has the Cannondale Lefty Ocho Carbon fork installed. The fork’s travel is 100mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of carbon, so, it’s a great addition to the bike’s value. However, carbon forks should be regularly inspected for damage because even the smallest crack could cause the fork to fall apart.
Rear Shock
The Scalpel Carbon Women’s 2 has a rear shock with a travel of 100mm. The model Fox Float DPS Performance Elite EVOL is the one installed in this bike. Bike rear shocks increase the riding comfort, and also give you more control over technical trails. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Scalpel Carbon Women’s 2 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, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
