Zach Overholt

Seemingly keeping with tradition, Cannondale just quietly introduced a new version of the Lefty fork. Just like with the 2019 Scalpel SI, the 2021 Scalpel SE LTD popped up with an all new fork. This time with longer travel.

The technical climbing wiz.

Cons
  1. I mean, that rim did crack…
  2. Being based off the same XC race frame, its geo isn’t exactly progressive. More reach and a shorter seat tube, please.
