Mental how xc has developed! Modern xc bikes are more capable downhill than a DH bike from a decade ago and the courses have DH sections that would be in a black run at a bike park! Incredible stuff
Somewhat similar aesthetically to a leftie, what’s the point of an asymmetric dual crown fork design like the Intend Bandit, or does this design only exist with inverted forks for additional stiffness due to the absence of a structural bridge above the wheel? #askgmbntech
I wonder if that's actually the 100mm bike with a 120 mm fork, and he just didn't want to come out and say that. I'm sure Cannondale would not be tickled if he advertised that to everyone. I understand the bike can be ran with a 100 120, but Cannondalr doesn't have that specific offering, so...

You can't be serious
@@maxfish2301 well, probably a bit more than a decade but you get my point!
A 40T / 10-45?? LOL!! I thought I was a bad ass jumping up to a 32T from my 30T on my 10-52. These dudes are freaking awesome!
I’m definitely trying that zip tie trick on the pedal. That little bit of up and down play is a bit annoying and sometimes creaks.
Amazing content, keep it up.
The Cannondale bikes special the Scalpel i think ist the best xco bike !
-20 degree stem. Crazy when you consider the LAB71 Scalpel SE mere mortals with HUGE wallets can buy comes with a 7 degree stem.
2:40 That's what she said .
SA accent explaining the scalpel. Awesome.
What a beast, 40T, must be track spec
Like the hot wax chain
That stem going anymore lower would be better off attached to the crown of the fork.
Esse avanço tem quantos de grau negativos ?
It made me laugh when JP said the stem has negative rise so the riders "don't sit up like squirrels".

Its the same frame. Scalpel se is 120/120. Same frame, but more travel fork and shock.
"It's a Lab71 our premium blablabla" dude Lab71 is just a sticker, we all know that ;)
75 mm dropper seems pointless
Nice but Cannondale is just nowhere in the XCO competition
I think you should do some research, Alan has been one of the most consistent riders this season, with multiple top 5’s. 🤩
And Mona wins
