The Cannondale Scalpel HT LAB71 is a top-tier cross-country race hardtail built for riders chasing podium results and uncompromising speed on technical XC courses. Its Series 0 carbon frame uses Cannondale’s Proportional Response Design to optimise stiffness, weight and ride feel for each frame size, delivering razor-sharp acceleration and efficient power transfer. Carefully engineered flex zones and dropped seatstays help reduce trail chatter, improving control and comfort when pushing the pace across demanding terrain.
Up front, Cannondale’s iconic Lefty Ocho 120 Carbon fork provides 110mm of ultra-precise suspension travel, combining low weight with exceptional steering stiffness and bump sensitivity. A flagship SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS Transmission drivetrain delivers wireless electronic shifting with a huge 10-52T range, while SRAM Level Ultimate hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful and consistent braking performance. Rolling on ultralight HollowGram 25 carbon wheels with Maxxis Rekon Race and Aspen tyres, the Scalpel HT LAB71 is engineered for elite cross-country performance and maximum race-day speed.
