Seafarer Scott makes bikes that just work, are light, and reliable. Cannondale spends all their time on making a bike that is overly complicated. It might look cooler. But does it? Wouldn’t it be cooler to ride a bike that world champions ride?
Lighter? To be this weight you'll need to add some 1500€ to the price. You can buy this one for 31000-3500€. In Scott, for the same price range you buy a bike at least 1,5kg heavier.
Lmao the glue used for Pole is industrial made for that, those frames will keep stick together even when your grandkids die old, planes are glued too, and we fly no worries

Cool race bike! It's like the current epic, fake four bar linkage with a flex stay. Compromised suspension for the sake of a light weight frame, definitely should not be referred to as down country in any way. Geo numbers are the same as the Scott spark that came out 4 years ago. 🥱
Nice bike, but good luck if you need support from Cannondale. Have been riding Cannondales since 1999. Now have a 2018 Scalpel Carbon 3. Rear hub failed in March. Have been trying to get parts support from Cannondale since. No response, and when they did response the information was wrong. Sad state of once iconic US bike company.
Greetings Jan sorryvto hear about ur rig I'm curious what did ur bike shop say about ur issue .by the way I have a carbon one 29er scale lefty ( charcoal grey) from 2013 its held up preety well .I wonder if u may unknowingly purchase a defective frame.CNT stricklyvbikes on Hudson terrace fort Lee nj owner is nelson/ask for curt the bike mechanics. They maybe able to help u good luck
Jan try CNT strickly bikes fortlee nj owner is nelson /best mechanic is Kurt they maybe able to help u with ur problem./ I own three cannondale bikes two lefty 29ers scaples carbon one (grey choarcol) 2013 never any problemsbbc I maintencebthe crapvout of bikes .contact them get bck to me an good luck
The flex pivots don’t lockout unfortunately so it’s got a bouncy rear end like the 2002 Scalpel, great for a trail bike, too flexy for an XC race machine tho.
I love and hate cannondale’s gimmicks. It’s really cool to think about and try to feel the differences that something like my Gemini shock thingy makes, but it causes risk. These flex thingies look pretty neat, but I wonder if that will be the case in a few years.
I know carbon fiber is super strong, but in my mind I just see someone taking that bike off of a big drop or jump and that flex zone just snaps into a million pieces all over the trail.
The QR thru axle idea just pisses me off. While AI and flex pivot seem like unnecessary bs. They must have hired some of Trek's engineers. "People that chose this bike also purchased Wavecell helmets."
I have three different left bikes never a problem with either of them.I also learned to maintain my lefty forks .advise if u own or plan to own a lefty u should learn to maintence your lefty fork.as well as ur whole bike..too many yahoos by a lefty bike all bx it looks cool but don't learn diddly about what their buying note: take care of ur bike it will take care of you.Good Luck
Cannondale continues to use way too much weird proprietary crap that's a pain to replace and doesn't work as well as standard stuff. Also, for the love of God, ditch the PF30. It's literally the worst bottom bracket on the planet. No thanks.
Lifetime warrenty on the frame, same as GT. They're actually the same company, and this design is a bit of a crossover from their respective 2020 gravel bikes that both have flexible rear triangles
@@Phil..._ Only for the front triangle. "Swing Arms, Chainstays, Seatstays, and Shock Links of Full Suspension Frames: Five years from original retail purchase."
@@simonmeistininkas1399 I'm guessing you've read up on that but my argument with cannondale works be (in the case of a rear triangle failure) would be that in this instance it's all part of the same frame rather than 2 seperate parts.
If a bigger xc bike is a downcountry bike, does a light trail bike is a downcountry bike ? Does a big trail bike is a light enduro bike ? I'm wondering if a big enduro bike is a light freeride bike. Please stop with these new trendy mtb terms.
I love how the co2 canister is just vibing
Whats the co2 used for ?

Looks like frame is held together with stretched chainstay protector.
Really does , this bike would easily break if you were rough with it
@@makda971 Sure if you took it to rampage it would break but i dont think most bikes are meant for that
Ayub Makda that’s speculation. I’d definitely be worried about it breaking, but I wouldn’t say easily. It is after all, a trail bike

We need a huck to flat test with this bike pleaseeee
Stay tuned...
It'll snap worse than the pole
That chainstay is going to die
@@bananasstuff3344 I have a surprise for you...
You could use that chain stay as a toothpick it’s so thin
Akira Ung looks like a fiberglass limb of a recurve bow
Huck to flat please
I see Cannondale is trying to reaffirm their old reputation with those chainstays 🤣🤣
A true dream Bike for me verry nice to se a more beefed Up Version
Idk about u but I want that 2001 version
0:21 what!!!
My Scott spark is still lighter, and doesn’t look like it’s gonna break when you sit on it.
Not as nearly as cool of a bike though.
@@IamSeafarer I disagree. Besides its not gonna be cool with snapped chain stats sitting in my garage

@@alexridesbikes9047 who cares both Cannondale and Scott are overpriced as fuck

Do that "mini field test" includes yet to be released bikes :D ?
That flexy chainstay is scarier than the fact that pole's are glued together.
Sounds like you shouldn't look at the seat stays on the new Trek SuperCaliber!

The Cannondale Time Machine Takes you back to 2015
oh snap
good dog, how much travel has she got?
150mm
170 mate
100/120
The bike they are testing, has 120mm rear, same front, I believe.
ooh that chain stay looks like it will snap from a bunny hop
Does having more air inside the frame somehow make it stronger?
Do airplane wings look like they’ll snap?
Lookie lookie even fido is excited
New for 2022....the all new " humptydumpty " 127.5 mm front travel / 122.5 mm rear wheel travel & 30.5 inch front wheel / 29 inch rear wheel :)
Ha ha your so funny
Is it me or is the chainring extremely close to the chainstay?
isnt that the se' model?
Damn that looks good
Cool race bike!

Looks excellent
Little bearings in all links and new(old) QR... best decisions
its a pity that dont bring a lefty8 os 120mm, could be de perfect bike
Too heavy! 100mm at 1400 Grams is just right.
@@downallyourstreets the sid are just 1580

Hey dude, will there be a posted AdventX review?
It’s coming! We need enough time to properly put it through its paces.
Hi, have you weighed? How much does it weight?
25.8 pounds in XL no pedals
Elastic Horst link. Does it have a threaded BB? Pity.
The flex pivots don’t lockout unfortunately so it’s got a bouncy rear end like the 2002 Scalpel, great for a trail bike, too flexy for an XC race machine tho.
Kinda looks like a stumpjumper. i like it

The fear is how many yearsvwill it last before it starts to fail
4 foot drop. Snap !!!!
Interesting🤔, how long this frame will last😂
Yeyeyeyeyeyeyeye
Did anyone notice at 0:50 that the side of the front fork that is facing the us is missing 🤔
That is the Lefty Cannondale fork
yea boii
I know carbon fiber is super strong, but in my mind I just see someone taking that bike off of a big drop or jump and that flex zone just snaps into a million pieces all over the trail.
2:11 That is scary thin. They say that solid carbon fiber is there but still...
Nice. But i wouldn't pay for it without at least 5 years warranty on that chain stay
Lifetime warranty on frame and wheels...
That rear axle does not seem like a good idea
especially when the chainstays are designed to flex, why not a proper TA
Why? It's still stronger than the 135QR we used for damn near 30 years.
No word about the missing leftie fork????
The Scalpel still comes with a Lefty, but the Scalpel SE uses a different fork because it has 120mm of travel and a steeper head tube angle.
AGEdude ok, You mean a 1 degree slacker HA because of the 120mm fork.
@@janwillem22 yes
Cannondale always about the gimmicks
WOT NO RIDE?
DropOut looks so fragile to me 😱.
No lefty?
Most of the Scalpels (non-SE) do come with a lefty!
The QR thru axle idea just pisses me off. While AI and flex pivot seem like unnecessary bs. They must have hired some of Trek's engineers. "People that chose this bike also purchased Wavecell helmets."
Are you the one that was bsing about sunglasses on pb?
Qua to que vale ESA bike
No Lefty is great news.
I have three different left bikes never a problem with either of them.I also learned to maintain my lefty forks .advise if u own or plan to own a lefty u should learn to maintence your lefty fork.as well as ur whole bike..too many yahoos by a lefty bike all bx it looks cool but don't learn diddly about what their buying note: take care of ur bike it will take care of you.Good Luck
I honestly thought my 200 dollar bike was over priced... where the fuck am I living
Grim donut
what the hell does “down country” even mean?
Exactly. May as well stick a “turbo” label on it too...
Ur not true MTB rider or u would now the answer
Darn dogs
Cannondale always doing stupid designs to where you can only ride their products...
Hey of course
That looks sketchy as.Seat tube is XXXL and chai stay is XXXS.
LSD design !
