Nobody puts Elvis in a corner!

i ride because it makes me HAPPY

I did that double build in one week. Gotta try it.

Great video man. I own one nice epic pro from 2022 and been thinking a lot about this one. Just one small question related to comfort. It is suitable for marathon as well considering you mention it as even faster than old epics? Thanks mate!

Don’t hate on Carl Dolan, Marc 😂

Marc-E Marc, giving back to the sport, you are the man. Great show Donald! - Jeigh Tea

What up Homie 👍🏾 good stuff Guys 🔥

You should take your brakes to get check out at patapsco bicycles lol elvis will fix it for you 😅

Electronic shifting is good for e-bikes where one gear at a time is best, on acoustic I'd take XT cable any day, Shimano has better cassette gear ratio gear jumps on lower gears. SRAM's 52t to 42t jump sucks, especially on tech climbs.

Try to catch Paul slippin....you won't haha

Change the maxxis tyres to schwalbe Racing Ralph/Ron, that makes a big difference. I have the 2024 Scalpel 1.

I grew up with a Cannondale f300. All the guys at the shop had scalpels. Fast forward 20 years and my ‘24 scalpel 3 is on the way. Great review!

Yeah they just came up with chisel fa, which is really camberlike

Paul is a live stenographer has all the notes

доброго времяни суток ! у меня был такой скальпель 2020-21 модельного года что мне понравилось это его навесное оборудование и вес ! из минусов крепление задний подвески а иминно крепление верхнего уха аморта ! так как если болт закиснет то его оттуда не достать !

Spaghetti boys 🍝

I had to Venmo Maggie $300 last weekend for Vijay’s bail money!!

stock stem length is 70

Where is this ride?

Nice reveiw! I have a scalpel team 2022 with the lefty, its 100m back and front with lockout, xtr rides like a trail bike so plush don't feel tired on long rides.. kinda happy they didnt change too much with it, I think the next iteration they'll change the shock position like you said and go all electronic with no cables. would like to see an XC bike test, you have a nice selection there,

I've seen him not listen 😂😂

Hey Donald, great video, appreciate your content. I am looking at a discounted 2023 Epic Pro. I hear your comments about the rear brain though. I will be using it mainly for fire roads, smooth gravel, and then some singletrack and flowy XC trails. The most technical stuff in my area is a few root gardens. The bike is at a great price but I’m just concerned about the brain. How do you recommend it for the kind of riding I describe? Thanks for your time.

24#? I weighed my Large with tubeless, pedals and spare tube - 27.1# ready to ride. I was hoping for lower.

Good content

😂😂 fight is over

Good stuff. I'm trying to blur the line of XC and downcountry with a build that I just finished using a Transition Spur frame that I built up to be just a hair below 23 lbs (including pedals, 150mm dropper, bottle cage, power meter, garmin mount). 'loving it. I'm planning another Ring attempt this year, but will also be racing XC on it too.

All the UCI mens and ladies teams used 120/120mm travel bikes at the Cape Epic. In the amateur field the bikes follow what the pro's are riding. Win on Sunday , sell on Monday

120mmis overkill for many xco racers. Also the long low slack thing comes from Enduro where those loud mouths were continuously calling for longer lower slack r bikes, journos icked this up especially that twat at Pink bike whats his kazzinamer ? Any way that guy an hsi influencers kept shouting longer lower slack and it became a mantra for people who ride bikes slowly downhill and mostly in straight lines so they could have a light bike. Basically hey ruined the XCO race bike. I now size down from medium to small and still ed up with a bike thats longer and slower than my 2018 bike

🙌🏼

Select + tune for Cannondale has a higher tuned threshold in the pedal position. For the life of me I don't understand why they didn't fit manual lock out

nicely packaged. Ziptying the chain to the chainring is clever, no more chipped bb shell paint work during shipping. Pity lefty is only available on the Lab71 in north america

Im waiting for my new Scalpel 4 to arrive. I have all the fancy fixin's on my current Canyon Lux that ill be swapping once it arrives. She's gonna look sexy beside my Scalpel HT. Christmas in April, can't wait!!!

Great videos.. always good & detailed. Audio has been a bit off, but still great videos.

"promo sm" 😆

Hellabike! I have a few thoughts. I would love to see how 120/120 feels. Currently I ride a 130/130 and have it dialed in to use fully 130/130 when I’m riding hard. Curious if I would be disappointed with 120/120. Beautiful bike…maybe I’ll switch back to riding a Scalpel again. ;-) hopefully it not as twitchy. ;-)❤❤❤❤

Beside my yeti sb115 i love that pivot 429 looks nice

Nice bike but i think specialized epic evo pro looks better

🔥🔥🔥

To me industry nine 1/1 hubs are the best sounding on the market They have the right amount of sound 👍

1) a 3mm drop in BB height is meaningless re: center of gravity and its affect on handling 2) lowering the BB doesn't change the fork rake (aka offset). It changes the head tube angle by ~.5 of a degree. The fork is the fork, the rake (offset) of the fork doesn't change.

im not a big fan of specialized bikes but this one is nice i like it a lot but the price tag is a bit high ill stick with my canyon spectral

Epic 8 is in my opinion a down country discipline and the 8 EVO is a trail bike. Not what I was expecting from the Epic 8, does not pedal like an Epic that I’m accustomed to and although flight attendant is next level tech my WC is lighter and pedals much more efficient.

Ok so how different is it to the current stumpy? Which is the best all arounder at this point?

Damn Paul this is getting DEEP

What a beast of a bike. Down-country has never looked this capable. I'm gonna have to drop by and see this in person👀

❤❤❤ Love my Camber!!! Love this more😊

Nice bike ya make this fun

That bike looks sweet

The future is here. one of my favorite episodes brother
