Cannondale Scalpel Hi-Mod Carbon 3 mountain bike, model 2012
NEUTRALIZE THE OPPONENT
The lightest, stiffest and most supple full-suspension cross country racing bike in the world. With race-proven Zero Pivot technology, Ballistec carbon construction and fully integrated System Integration components, the Scalpel is an uncompromising racing machine.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Scalpel is the embodiment of the spirit of System Integration. We achieved its incredible weight by designing the bike, its frame and components together. Our Lefty forks, SI OPI stem and Hollowgram SL BB30 cranks deliver the stiffness and light weight you dream of.
BALLISTEC CARBON
1590 gram frame with shock absorber. Lighter and stiffer than aluminum, more flexible than steel. BallisTec carbon fibers, made for ballistic missiles, can withstand even the impact of stones, which usually damage the thin wall of frames of other brands.
ZERO PIVOT
The Scalpel achieves a progressive stroke of 80 mm without any pins or bearings. Thanks to advanced processing technology and carbon shaping, the rear fork and struts can move vertically, with maximum torsional stiffness and minimum weight.

All bicycles at the MTBIKER shop are new, not-ridden, from an official distributor and with a full warranty. Several brands even offer a lifetime warranty on the frame after registration. We perform all warranty services in MTBIKER stores after personal delivery or after sending the bike (or its part) by courier.
- The bicycle is taken out of the manufacturer's box
- The bicycle is assembled, inspected and adjusted (front and rear derailleur, shock, fork, wheels,...)
- The bicycle is carefully packed back into a box and shipped
- If you order a bicycle for in store pick up or home delivery, the bicycle will be waiting put together, checked and ready to use for you.
- If you order a bicycle via courier to your home address, the following must be done at home:
- Take the bike out of the box and carefully remove safety material and foils
- Mount handlebar to stem (1 minute, 4 or 5 mm hex hey is needed).
- Mount front wheel to fork (1 minute, without the need of any tools if the bike has a quick release).
- Loosen the screws in the headset, straighten the stem with the front wheel, tighten the upper screw on the fork and then tighten the headset (2 minutes, 4 or 5 mm hex key is needed).
- Mount the pedals to the cranks while lubricating the thread and carefully mounting it the right way (1 minute, 8 mm hex key or 15 mm wrench).
- Mount seatpost to frame (10 seconds, without needing any tools if the frame has a quick link).
- Inflate the tyres or fork and shock to desired pressure (2 minutes, pump needed).
- Check the tightening of hex keys and quick-releases (2 minutes, 4 and 5 mm hex key is needed).
- Go for a test drive! Handle your bicycle carefully until you get used to it. If the bike has disc brakes, their performance will be limited from now on - they will gain their full power after 4-5 strong brakes at higher speed.
