Expirience with the Cannondale Scalpel SE Ultimate

Cannondale Scalpel SE Ultimate Review The Scalpel SE Ultimate 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 handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. The seating position does not manage to be too athletic, nor too upright. It´s moderate character is likely to suite the vast majority of bikers. When viewing the 64 kg, its apparent: there are lighter Downcountry-Bikes in this price range. Cannondale gives 25 years warranty on the bike.
