from Nowy Sacz, Poland Date Reviewed: April 22, 2009 Strengths: Having much expoerience with my previoius Scalpel, Replica id much lighter and faster as a result. Much lighter wheelset makes accelerating and riding so much efficient. Good component choice. New frame is stiffer and more "user friendly". Rear shock is easy to reach for lockout. Weaknesses: Couldn't find any so far and from my experience with old (2006) Scalpel there won't be many things to complain about exept maybe that nobody wants to ride with you because they can't keep up. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $5600.00 Purchased At: Cannondale Similar Products Used: Scalpel Team 2006, Giant Trance, Scott Spark, Spec Stumpjumer. Bike Setup: Replica 2009 carbon frameset with Lefty SL, Cannondale SI crank+headset. X.0 components, XTR front derailleur, Juicy Ultimate brakes, Crossmax ST wheelset (changed from SLR)

from Roscoe, IL. USA Date Reviewed: March 12, 2009 Strengths: Lightweight. Reliable. Superb Handling. SRAM X.0 shifters are sweet. Lefty is the best. Weaknesses: Magura Marta SL brakes are awesome, but don't put the bike upside-down or they will fade away for a while. I'm not a big fan of FSA stuff (seat post, bars, chainrings), but so far, it has held up. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Rock Lake / any CAMBA singletrack Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $5400.00 Purchased At: Erik's - Madison Similar Products Used: 1995 Cannondale Super V 1000 Bike Setup: Stock except I replaced the Egg Beater pedals (Put them on my Six13 road bike) with Shimano 959 SPD's. And replaced a bent FSA granny with a Shimano. 24.5 lbs.

from Santa Barbara, CA, USA Date Reviewed: May 4, 2006 Strengths: Well thought out geometry, solid construction, excellent finish on welds. The main pivot on this bike is super beefy -- no flex to be had here, and it shows when you point the bike through some rocky stuff -- it just stays the course. The suspension on this bike is simply amazing. Once you have gotten the air pressure and the thresholds set for your liking, this bike climbs and descends with equal ease. The Lefty has Fox internals, and it performs like the Fox Terra Logic forks, but with the benefits of having a lefty -- awesome. I'm a big fan of Hope products, and I have been really happy with the brakes -- the 180mm in front is just enough to give you the extra power and modulation needed for slightly heavier riders (I'm 190lbs). The stock Magura Marta's are also awesome, I just happen to prefer the Hope brakes, mostly because of the feel of the levers and the construction of the calipers. One big thing on this bike that I think Cannondale did an excellent job on was the main pivot. It uses a large pivot bolt (around 20mm diameter), and high quality cartridge bearings. This makes for smooth, silent suspension action that will last a long time and give you no headaches. Way better than multi-pivot designs, IMHO. No suspension feedback while pedaling over rocky sections either, another common misconception about single pivot designs. Weaknesses: Shipped with a 128mm SI BB, instead of the 131mm that it is supposed to, so there were a few problem getting the FD to not rub in the small chainring and the two easiest gears in the back. C-Dale is sending out a new BB spindle and this should be taken care of. Other than that, this bike is everything I could ask for in a 110mm travel bike -- light, stiff, excellent on all types of trails.
