Cannondale Scalpel SE LAB71 – Maximum precision, maximum performance

The ultimate full-suspended XC/Trail bike

The Cannondale Scalpel SE LAB71 represents the absolute pinnacle of Cannondale technology. It combines the lightest ever 120 mm Hi-MOD FlexPivot frame with a selection of premium components that turn every ride into an experience of pure speed and control.
With the wireless SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS drivetrain, the Lefty Ocho Carbon 120 mm fork, and the superlight HollowGram XC-27 SL wheels, this LAB71 edition is designed for those who demand the absolute best.

LAB71: the new limit

Just when you thought the Scalpel SE had reached its peak, Cannondale took it to its most exclusive workshop: the LAB71. Here the Hi-MOD frame is paired with top-tier components and finished with unique colorways. Limited quantities, unlimited performance.

Superior suspension, superior traction

Thanks to the FlexPivot kinematics and perfectly managed 120 mm travel, the Scalpel SE LAB71 offers exceptional grip, total control, and a smoothness that feels like it belongs to a higher category. Ideal for long days on singletracks and for those who love feeling the bike glued to the ground.

Lefty Ocho: handling that makes the difference

The revolutionary Lefty Ocho Carbon, with its single-arm design and roller bearing system, is the smoothest and most precise XC fork in the world. It offers 120 mm of incredibly linear travel, ensuring stability, control, and unmatched agility. More control = more speed.

Aggressive geometry, incredible performance

With a head angle of 67°, shorter stem, wider tires, and a dropper post, the Scalpel SE LAB71 takes trail riding to the next level: stable, precise, ready to perform even on high-speed technical terrain.
