Born Fast
The LAB71 Series 0 carbon makes this Scalpel the lightest, stiffest, and most responsive ever, built to chase seconds and break records.

Lefty Ocho
The exclusive Lefty Ocho Carbon fork offers unmatched steering precision. With 120mm of travel, frictionless internals, and integrated aesthetics, it delivers buttery smoothness and agile handling. You remain in control of every inch of the trail.

Size-Specific Frames
Proportional Response geometry adapts each frame size to the rider’s dimensions, optimizing traction, balance, and control—resulting in a race machine that moves with you like an extension of your body.

The Pro's Bike
The Scalpel and Cannondale Factory Racing are a proven force, developing cross-country talent from world champions to Olympic medalists. Now, it’s your turn to ride like them. The all-new Scalpel LAB71 CFR is a race replica bike built for the fastest riders on the planet—and now it’s ready for you.

Light on Weight, Heavy on Wins
Designed to deliver the lightest possible weight without compromising stiffness or speed, this race-tested CFR frame turns every pedal stroke into pure, unfiltered velocity.

XTR Di2: Top-Tier Wireless Tech
Shimano’s flagship drivetrain sets a new benchmark, delivering lightning-fast wireless shifting and maximum efficiency—engineered for the world’s fastest XC racers.

FlexPivot
Our patented FlexPivot stays create a true four-bar suspension system—without the weight penalty. The result? Enhanced small-bump sensitivity, pedal response, and long-term reliability.

Lefty Ocho 120
The Lefty Ocho 120 fork is the most precise and advanced XC fork ever made. With 120mm of buttery-smooth travel, it keeps you glued to the fastest line and pushing harder than ever.

Speed-Tuned Geometry
Suspension and geometry are Proportional Response-tuned by frame size for maximum traction, handling, and race-day dominance—straight from the Cannondale Factory Racing playbook.

Integrated Control
SystemBar XC-One is our full-carbon integrated handlebar that reduces weight, boosts steering precision, and keeps cables neatly routed inside—for ultimate control without clutter.

Speed Starts at the Spokes
The FSA KFX Team Edition carbon wheels are as aggressive as they are lightweight. Fly uphill, rail corners, and explode from the gate—these carbon KFXs turn every watt into winning speed.
