Andrew_Smith Posted March 21, 2018 Share I assume you are riding a cannondale? Both MTB and road. He is a fanboy. Which shops offer demo bikes for the scalpel? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Bike Addict does demos on Scalpel models and others too on request if I am not mistaken. They are based in Malmesbury.

AllAboutRides Posted March 23, 2018 Share I’ve never in my life seen so much Cannondales in one race when I was at the spectator point at the Cape Epic, quite impressive! Last question is it worth spending the extra money from Scapel 1to the Team bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev null Posted March 23, 2018 Share I’ve never in my life seen so much Cannondales in one race when I was at the spectator point at the Cape Epic, quite impressive! Last question is it worth spending the extra money from Scapel 1to the Team bike? Not so sure. My son has the 2017 Carbon 1, and it has carbon rims, like the Team, just not Enves, and has mostly XTR, but not XX1 Eagle like the Team. But I doubt there is much difference in weight. But the frame is exactly the same, just not the same colour. AllAboutRides 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChUkKy Posted March 23, 2018 Share bla bla bla bla.... but really if it was better others would have replicated it in some way. Cannondale have more patents on that than a greasy teenager has pimples.Some have tried their own rendition already and failed. Ive ridden fox forks, Sid dual airs, Sid solo airs and Rebas and with my 90kg weight the lefty has been the best.Initial feelings was the Lefty was too soft but it soaks up all the small chattery stuff and then towards the end of the travel it ramps up very nicely where on my Reba, if I had it nice and soft to soak up the small chattery bumps I would blow through the travel and bottom it out. The Lefty really is in a league of its own. nickc, Mongoose! and AllAboutRides 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaco-fiets Posted March 23, 2018 Share The lefty is definitely the best shock I have ridden. Must also ad that on my previous FSi I had endless issues with it but when it works it has no equal. It unfortunately is an expensive shock to maintain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAboutRides Posted March 23, 2018 Share Had the privlage to ride this ome today! Not bad, not bad at all....the suspension just need some fine tuning but overall I will give a 9/10 Think the biggest decision now will be between the Scapel 1and Team....just never ends :-) Thanks everyone for the response and feedbacks, highly appreciated Hairy, Andrew_Smith and ChUkKy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
