Cannondale Scalpel HT Hi-MOD

The Lefty Ocho offers exceptional stiffness and steering precision due to its unique single-sided design and needle-bearing architecture. It provides a smoother, more sensitive stroke over small bumps while maintaining the rigidity needed for aggressive cross-country racing.

Proportional Response tailors the frame geometry and chainstay length specifically to each frame size. This ensures that every rider, regardless of height, experiences the same balanced handling, optimal weight distribution, and climbing traction.

Yes, the wireless AXS system is highly reliable and offers crisp, consistent shifting even under load. Because it eliminates cable stretch and housing friction, it requires less maintenance than mechanical systems, making it ideal for demanding race conditions.

While the slack 66.5-degree angle is designed to provide stability and confidence on steep, technical descents, it is balanced by the bike's short chainstays and lightweight frame. This combination keeps the handling quick and responsive, allowing you to navigate tight switchbacks without feeling like you are fighting the bike.

Yes, the HollowGram 25 carbon rims are designed to be set up tubeless. Running them tubeless is highly recommended to take full advantage of the lower tire pressures and improved traction that this wheelset is engineered to support.

This bike is purpose-built for cross-country racing and fast-paced trail riding. It excels on groomed singletrack, steep climbs, and technical descents where efficiency and weight are the primary priorities.
