CANNONDALE SCALPEL 3 2021 LONG TERM RIDE REVIEW
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2020
- I had Cannondale Scalpel 2021 for 3 weeks and started to really get attached to it.
This review is my view and with my ride style I truly believe this bike is way better than previous models. I would love to actually do a stage race on it like a Wines 2 Whales to have the edge but unfortunate I have to give it back.
As mentioned you can upgrade your wheels to a wider profile wheel some options. Cannondale Hollowgram, Zero2 or South Wheels.
Chat to your local bike dealer about this.

Nice review! Honestly way better than the bike radar one....
Hi Raymond, thanks for your time on the review, I really appreciate it. Some insightful stuff there. Nice one.
Thanks, gave this one back now busy on a custom build 😀
@@raycoxphoto Also a 2021 Scaplel?
@@renatosabbioni7597 correct will show it here on the channel. Got some South Industry wheels on it
@@raycoxphoto Those are a good looking set of wheels. I'm amped to see the review!
Nice one guy!
Thanks for the review. I have a 2013 model and it was my only bike for a few years, now I use it for events and racing only, but I think it may be time to retire it. With the relaxed geometry of the newer bikes can you share thoughts on how it compares to older models?
Nice one! I can't wait to have that same bike next week and start playing around with it. scalpel carbon 3 pretty well spec'd bike for the price.
Exactly my thoughts, I didnt mention the tool storage under the front bottle cage. This can be purchased from your dealer.
Raymond Cox awesome! can't wait to go bikepacking adventures with this when im not racing. dropper post and hollowgram wheelset are my first upgardes for sure.
@@ryand121984 I just picked up a Scalpel 2 for the weekend with Hollowgrams let's see how it goes
Thanks for the review! Very timely as I have just ordered the Scalpel Carbon 2 just to get upgraded wheels and brakes. Interested to know if you thought the Upgrades were worth it.
Brakes weren't an issue on this model at all, the Shimano stuff is solid. But yhea wheels are key.
Great video and interesting review. Do you have any chain damage to the paint just behind the crank? The demo model I used had quite a few chips. I was curious whether it was abuse or general wear and tear due to the lack of a frame protector.
I think that's if the clutch is not working on the detailer and the user drops a chain then cranks it up into that area. All three Ive ridden have been pretty spotless only chips being from rocks flying up.
You should check if the chainguide above the crank is spaced correctly from the chain
Weight ?
I have a 2017 Scalpel, hard to imagine anything being faster or better!
Modern XC bikes are all better, lighter, slacker head angle and even 120mm travel being introduced to the market. S-Works Evo being one of them.
@@raycoxphoto I don’t think slack head angle is better. My scalpel is 69.5. I used to race on 72 degree HA 26” hardtails!
@@fhowland Each to their own.
High Raymond, I wanted to ask you what´s your height and which size did you pick as I am 1,75 cms /6´9" and I am wondering if I should pick size M o size L. Thank you very much!
Hey, Demo'd the M but honestly L is now my size and I'm 178cm. Seems more cramped than earlier Dales.
Raymond Cox thank you very much!
Hi Raymond, can you tell me how tall are you ?
179cm - I ordered a Large and its super vs the medium.
weight please?
Sorry don't have it anymore
Nice bike...but the GoPro 360 makes the video too artificial...is like watching a cartoon
