The 2015 Cannondale Scalpel 29 Black Inc represents peak cross-country race technology of its time, pairing a superlight BallisTec carbon frame with Cannondale’s distinctive Lefty fork for razor-sharp handling and precise suspension performance. Outfitted with Shimano XTR Di2 electronic shifting, it delivered instant, precise gear changes at a time when wireless tech was still emerging. With 100mm of front and rear travel and an aggressive XC race geometry, the Scalpel 29 Black Inc was built to dominate climbs, snap through technical singletrack, and hold momentum across demanding race courses. Premium carbon wheels and a full suite of lightweight, race-tuned components made this build a true weapon for elite competitors chasing podiums.
