Expirience with the Cannondale Scalpel Hi-MOD 1

Ludwig Döhl No more excuses - the Scalpel Hi-MOD 1 is a total marathon and cross-country beast. Even marathon world champion Henrique Avancini thinks so. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Cannondale Fully. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. When viewing the 135 kg, its apparent: there are lighter Racebikes in this price range. But the suspension is extremely good for the price of 8999 Euro . The guarantee of 25 years proves that Cannondale is behind its products.
