TL;DR

Cannondale has released the 2024 version of its Scalpel XC bike with 120mm of travel, slacker head angle, longer reach, and shorter seat tube lengths to accommodate longer travel dropper posts. The range includes models priced from $4,000 to $14,000 USD, featuring a carbon frame, 29" wheels, and size-specific chainstays. The updated geometry and ride impressions indicate a more well-rounded XC experience, with improved handling on descents. However, a frame breakage during a ride serves as a reminder of the limits of modern XC bikes, despite their evolving capabilities.
