Cannondale Scalpel - Yes/No

[kosmonooit]

 

One feature ithat the Scapel model generally has is carbon chainstays as its swingarm, which pivots on an area that is pinched flat. There is no mechanical pivot so its not made for big travel on the rear, more for trail riding and I would venture to say cross country but eish the terminology gets a bit slippery ... ?Scapels also have Lefties up front, but other models do as well.?

You need Golefty to answer some of those questions - he is a past Rush rider and current and previous Scalpel rider .

 

AFAIK  the Rize is more of a trail bike with either 120 or 140 mm travel and a pivot not bendy chain stays provide suspension travel. The Rush is a straightforward mono-pivot much like a Zula and also more of a trail bike than racer. The Lefty fork is afeature of 'dales butr not all are specced with it - some have conventional forks.
