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. ;-)❤❤❤❤
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,
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!!!
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
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 !
Would love to see an honest comparison between the Cannondale and Epic 8.
We’ll work on getting it for you
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!
Believe they were in Connecticut not Pennsylvania?
They were out of Bedford PA.
@ ah, yes they had a factory there at one point.
They started and are still HQ’ed in Wilton CT.

I know, there’s a lot of Lefy fans out there that don’t want to spend that Lab money to get it

Great videos.. always good & detailed. Audio has been a bit off, but still great videos.
Beside my yeti sb115 i love that pivot 429 looks nice
The 429 was my favorite bike for a really long time
@@blackandtan.0075faster never have one but looks like a lot of fun bike
🔥🔥🔥
24#? I weighed my Large with tubeless, pedals and spare tube - 27.1# ready to ride. I was hoping for lower.
Hmmm that seems a little heavy
@@blackandtan.0075faster maybe my scale is off :)

Very true
Change the maxxis tyres to schwalbe Racing Ralph/Ron, that makes a big difference. I have the 2024 Scalpel 1.
I’ve got to try the Schwalbe tires I know a lot of fast people that like them.
A Cannondale without Lefty its not a Cannondale
Nice bike but i think specialized epic evo pro looks better
They are both really good looking bikes. I think manufacturers now realize that they have to make a bike look right as well as Good
@@blackandtan.0075faster yes sir having two water bottles is nice
the epic looks like it was put together with plumbing fittings
