Scalpel SE is the ultimate marathon racer and high-speed trail slayer. World Cup fast and all-mountain fierce – this is next-level cross-country mountain bike performance.
Cannondale Scalpel Size guide
The Cannondale Scalpel (full suspension mountain bike) comes in four sizes. Please make sure any measurements are taken without any footwear on.
Please Note: Many bike brands' size guides overlap slightly. This is because small adjustments like seat position can accommodate riders who fall between sizes. When you're in this overlap zone, the choice comes down to preference: a larger size for a more stretched-out ride, or a smaller size for a more compact feel.
