The Scalpel Carbon SE 2 is based on the main frame of the full suspension bike, but with a little more travel, in order to appeal to touring riders. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Cannondale. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Cannondale Downcountry-Bike, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. The high-quality Carbon frame meets all current standards and thus serves as a perfect foundation for a solid, complete bike. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Cannondale sets the bar high!
