Cannondale Scapel LAB71 Mountain Bike

Introducing the New Cutting Edge, the ultimate XC race bike that has officially entered the LAB. This ground-breaking, fast-as-hell machine is a podium-topping monster, designed specifically for dominating the race course. Built for chasing podiums, the New Cutting Edge features an ultralight 100mm travel Hi-MOD carbon FlexPivot frame, complemented by a 110mm Lefty Ocho Carbon fork. The bike is equipped with a SRAM wireless XX SL Eagle AXS Transmission drivetrain and Level Ultimate disc brakes, ensuring top-tier performance. Its ultralight HollowGram XC-27 SL carbon tubeless-ready wheels, paired with the onboard Stash repair kit, provide an unmatched riding experience. Connectivity is enhanced with integrated Cannondale App support for ride tracking.

From LAB to Podium, the LAB71 variant of the Scalpel takes XC mountain biking to uncharted territories. Positioned off the map and at the limit, this bike pushes the boundaries of performance. Constructed with Hi-MOD carbon and featuring an ultra-premium spec, the LAB71 variant aims for one destination only: the top of the podium. The most advanced suspension ever made for XC, the patented FlexPivot suspension, offers an optimal balance between weight savings and performance. The bike's Lefty Ocho, touted as the world's best XC fork, delivers unparalleled smoothness and precision, allowing riders to effortlessly navigate various terrains. The Scalpel's progressive geometry, with a degree and a half slacker headtube angle and a one-degree steeper seat tube angle, ensures an aggressive, lightning-fast, fun, and stable experience across all trails, from the World Cup to your local loop.
