Expirience with the Cannondale Scalpel HT Carbon 3

Cannondale Scalpel HT Carbon 3 Review The Scalpel HT Carbon 3 was relaunched for the first time in 2022. The special feature of the bike: it has 110 mm of travel and takes the current development in cross-country racing into account. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Cannondale Scalpel HT Carbon 3. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. The moderate seating position is likely to be the perfect middle ground for the majority of bikers. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent. Cannondale gives 25 years warranty on the bike.
