$1400.00 | | Purchased At: | Ebay-used | | Strengths: | Light weight, bomb proof, great climber, slices thru single track | | Weaknesses: | wish it would accomodate riser bars better | | Bike Setup: | stock | | Bottom Line: | I've had several bikes over the years. Bought this one because I wanted something stock. Wanted a Santa Cruz Blur, but couldn't swing it at the time. Now, I feel like I've stumbled onto the score of the century. This thing is so light, it eats up roots and stays on track with no problem. Steering seems perfectly suited for single track. Doesn't under or oversteer IMO. I'm trying to hate this thing so I can have an excuse to buy the Blur, but I just can't find a reason. Love it. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

I have hammered it in CA, nevada, colorado, north carolina, texas, arizona and it just feels better every ride. and it does it all FAST. No other bike can do this without wasting energy. forget unified swing arms, forget other suspension designs...they are from cars that have 1000 pound mass coeficients, not 150 -200 pounds! understanding the physics and scale make the difference. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$1500.00 | | Purchased At: | Ebay | | Strengths: | Actually, year 2002 Scalpel 1000. Light weight, handles well. | | Weaknesses: | Headshok Ultra and Magura Louise disc brakes suck. The headshok, not lefty, continues to leak air within minutes. Repeated service does not solve the problem. Also, the standard magura louise disc brakes continuely lose pressure. The cannondale dealer cannot seem to bleed the air out of the lines. Even when the lever holds pressure it is only temporary. | | Bike Setup: | stock, except upgrade to carbon handlebars, carbon FSA cranks and bottom bracket | | Bottom Line: | Proprietary cannondale crap. The headshok concept is good, but the execution is crappy. Reminds me of the Klein mission control integrated bar/stem with oversized headset. Tons of problems. Maybe this is why Cannondale is being bought out. Stupid decisions like a foray in the motocross. Innovation without reliability is not good for business. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

After a couple of test rides I decided to get the Scalpel instead.
Great XC racing bike. I upgraded all parts right away to XTR and what a difference it made! Carbon chainstay flex along on curves and berms, makes you want to attack it some more. Remote lockout for front and rear shocks are very helpful. Mind you, this is not a Freeride nor Downhill bike. This was designed and made with the XC racer in mind. So those of you who wants to freeride, this is not the bike for it.

$2200.00 | | Purchased At: | Pro-Motion Cycles in Ormond | | Strengths: | Great frame. Nicely balanced front and rear suspension (80 and 67 mm of travel). Just enough suspension to take the edge of the rough stuff, but never soggy and still responsive. | | Weaknesses: | Crap colour scheme. | | Similar Products Used: | Previous bikes were Cannondale Jekyll and F series(with Lefty) | | Bike Setup: | Standard 2006, but with Avid hydro brakes. Would like to lighten(change) the wheels and maybe a couple of other things, but I should concentrate on my belly first. Bike is ok the way it is. | | Bottom Line: | Great bike. Light, sharp and never soggy. Doesn't need a Lefty (had one on the previous hardtail) and the Headshok works really nicely. Rear suspension is the best design I have ever seen. The Fox RP3 at the back is fantastic and removes the bob which was so annoying on the Jekyll. The subsequant harsh ride on the F series rear end made me move to the Scalpel and I am so glad of it.
The steering is much much slower than the F series hard-tail, but all that means is I need to move my arms faster. Big deal. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

(ok less so on killer downhill but that's hardly the scalpel's purpose.) On a less scientific note i've found mine to be incredibly bomb proof as it fell off my roof rack at 60 mph and the only damage was on the seat.

$2500.00 | | Purchased At: | Ivanhoe Cycles | | Strengths: | Relatively light weight, very responsive in tight single track. Lefty soaks up everything and even on a soft setting doesn't bob under hard, seated pedalling.

Much better but still does it sometimes. | | Similar Products Used: | Cannodale F900, hard tail with lefty. | | Bike Setup: | Standard, apart from rear cluster | | Bottom Line: | Fantastically responsive bike, goes where you point it.

The local shop owner tells me I'm riding it too hard and that it's not a downhill bike. I have never taken this bike off more than about a 1 foot jump. I ride strictly cross country. I was so fired up when I bought this bike. Now I am very disappointed and want to get rid of it and get something I can keep at home to ride instead of leaving it at the Cannondale mechanic's place all the time. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$1900.00 | | Purchased At: | Bikers Edge | | Strengths: | This bike is phenomenal. Fast, Light & Responsive but can take abuse. I spent 6 days downhilling in Vermont and the bike worked flawlessly. I consider myself in average shape but am always able to smoke other Full suspension riders on the hills with this bike. This rigg climbs like a cat on Amphetamines due to ability to lock out the rear (and front) suspensions on the fly. | | Weaknesses: | None. | | Similar Products Used: | Cannondale Super V 500, Jamis | | Bike Setup: | XT components,Lefty Fork | | Bottom Line: | This bike is not for doing 3 foot drops or for those looking for 4 inches of travel. Strickly XC but can take the punishment of an extreme downhill course if need be.
At 26lbs stock set-up this is a phenomenal ride and a great value. I can't believe I waited this long to get one!

$2500.00 | | Purchased At: | Super Cycles, Indooroopilly | | Strengths: | Magic carpet ride, low weight, beautiful looks, the sudden respectful silence when you pass a group of riders.. | | Weaknesses: | None that I've discovered, other than the price I guess. Cannondales are very expensive in Australia. | | Bike Setup: | Actually a black 2003 Scalpel 800 frame built up with 2004 parts. No difference except 20 more grams due to a different shock mount than that on the 04 bike. | | Bottom Line: | To put this into context, my previous bike was a $1500 Raceline Comp with RST Gila forks and a Deore/LX parts mix. I like to ride fast, technical terrain and don't care that much for big drops and jumps. The trails around here range from what you would find in an XC race to loose and eroded versions of the same.
I had to get over an initial problem with the Lefty DLR. Turned out that a faulty valve core was letting the air straight back out of the fork, but it was easily fixed (big thanks Poul).
The Scalpel's maiden voyage was a 4 hour ride from Mt Nebo back to the Kenmore Tavern that involved lots of high speed descending and several grovelling granny gear ascents of more than a kilometre. (Thanks for the lift to & from, Ivanka).
The Scalpel is a magic carpet ride you won't easily forget. The bike climbs really well, and suspension bob is hardly noticable unless you get out of the saddle and get rough with it, but even then it doesn't seriously curtail forward motion. It just felt smooth all the time. Being my first dual boing purchase, I was worried that the suspension might soak up the subtle flicks and springs that hardtail riders use when riding technical terrain. Well, it does just a little, but it gives back much, much more in the way of control and comfort. The bike is noticably faster than my previous hardtail over the same terrain and was quicker in certain places by a surprising margin over some other annorexic hardtails (3 Cannondales & a Klein) along on the Mt Nebo trip.
The Lefty took an hour or so to get used to as it displayed a tendency to pull slightly to the left when setting up to corner in that direction and took a fraction more effort to corner right. I'm assuming it's cause there's more weight on one side of the wheel. It wasn't a show-stopper by any means but just a quirk - as was the adjustment I needed to make when riding no hands.
I'd highly recommend the Scalpel to anyone looking to buy a lightweight cross country bike that gives the control and flickability of a hardtail with the comfort and forgiveness of a duallie. Oh, and I've trolled the internet for urban myths of cracked carbon fibre chainstays and catastrophic failure of the Lefty fork, and to my knowledge they don't exist.. This isn't the bike for the shinpad-wearing, see how many times I can use the word 'huck' in a sentence crew. The rule of thumb seems to be not to repeatedly launch Scalpels over anything higher than a 3 foot drop.
I guess I got tired of putting up with my Cannondale-snob mates so decided to become one instead ;)

This is by far the most impressing bike I have ever ridden.
Light as a feather but still very stable. Quick to handle and climbs like a furious goat. The tail suspension doesn't have a very long travel but sucks up small rocks and roots excellent and makes the climbs awesome and down hills safe. This cross country lady begs you to go really fast. The faster you go the more safe it feels. Guess it has to do with the quite long top tube on the bike. At first it looked a little big but on the trail it fitted perfect and handling top notch.
