Cannondale Scalpel SE long term review. This bike has really impressed us and here is a detailed break down of why this bike is so much fun.

A flat-out XC bike that rewards plenty of rider input but won’t provide a smoothed-out ride

Pros
  1. Stiff suspension makes the bike super-reactive to pedal inputs but still gives decent traction on loose climbs
  2. longer, slacker geometry (for an XC bike) works well on descents, provided you can keep the tyres stuck down

  2. High comfort
  3. Coherent overall concept
Cons
  1. a bit heavy
