Expirience with the Cannondale Scalpel Carbon 4

Ludwig Döhl No more excuses - the Scalpel Carbon 4 is a total marathon and cross-country beast. Even marathon world champion Henrique Avancini thinks so. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
