Cannondale Scalpel  1  Lefty 

Built for winning races and scorching trails, the Scalpel 1 is one of the fastest, lightest, and most capable mountain bikes on the planet. The frame is crafted with our advanced, super-light Series 1 carbon construction. Our one-piece SystemBar XC-One carbon cockpit controls the unmatched steering precision of the Lefty Ocho Carbon 120 fork. SRAM’s potent XO AXS wireless electronic group handles the shifting, and it all rolls on the speedy DT-Swiss XCR 1501 Spline carbon cross-country wheelset.
