Trust When Approaching the Limit
Don’t hesitate when others hit the brakes. The slack 66.5º head angle will give you the stability and control needed to dominate descents. Brake late. Turn decisively. Conquer the descents.
Stay Centered
The Proportional Response chainstays and the vertical seat angle of the Scalpel HT keep you in a centered position between the axles for better traction and more powerful pedaling on climbs, with more control on descents.
*Lefty Ocho*
It is simply the most advanced, smooth, precise, and ultralight XC suspension fork we have created to date. 100 mm of travel. No internal friction thanks to its needle bearings. Unmatched control.
*OutFront Steering*
The extra axle advance of the Lefty offers more safety and stability when the terrain gets tricky, while keeping the steering fast and lively for the most demanding XC.
*Proportional Response Geometry*
The frame geometry is specific for each size, including the chainstay length. It keeps the rider in a centered position between the axles for incredible traction and handling.
*Slack Head Angle*
The slack 66.5º head angle provides confidence in fast or steep descents that other XCs cannot match.
*Connected*
The integrated wheel sensor reads your activity (like speed, distance, and calories burned), logs your bike, reminds you if it needs maintenance, and much more, all through the Cannondale app.
*Convertible Cable Stops*
The internal cable routing system allows you to choose between a full housing for maximum weather protection or interrupted housing with sections of bare cable for greater weight savings.
