Cannondale Scalpel 3 Full Suspension Mountain Bike – 2024/25 Gunmetal Green Metallic. XL.

The bike is also covered in INVISIframe clear protective film. Has been on from day one. There’s a couple of sections where due to my application there are trapped micro air bubbles. See images. Could easy be replaced.

2024 Cannondale Scalpel 3 Carbon full-suspension mountain bike in Gunmetal Green Metallic.

This bike has had very little use — around 10 rides in total — and has not been ridden since September 2025. It has been stored and is now being sold simply because I have realised that, realistically, I don’t have enough time to use it.

I live in an area where a gravel bike is much more suited to the riding I actually do, and I can’t justify having a bike like this sitting unused.

About the bike

I’ve absolutely loved riding this bike. It’s incredibly fast and capable, particularly on singletrack and marathon-style riding, while the 120mm of suspension travel makes it more than capable of handling trail centres too.

The suspension has a full remote lockout, making it particularly efficient when climbing, while still giving you plenty of capability when the trail gets rough.

It’s also a fantastic-looking bike in the Gunmetal Green Metallic finish.

I’m very reluctant to sell it, but it’s simply too good a bike to be left sitting in the corner unused.

Wheels & tyres

I fitted a set of Zipp carbon wheels when buying the bike, so the original unused new Stan’s NoTubes Crest MK4 wheels are now back on it.

The original wheels are fitted with new and unused Maxxis tyres, and the disc rotors are also new/unused.

The Zipp wheels are being listed separately for anyone who may be interested in them.

Condition

Very lightly used, with approximately 10 rides from new. Last ridden September 2025.

The bike has seen very little use overall and is only being sold because it is no longer getting the use it deserves.

Please see the photographs for the exact condition and finish.

A genuinely excellent XC/downcountry-style mountain bike that is fast, light, extremely capable and a lot of fun to ride.

Zipp carbon wheels shown/mentioned are not included in this listing and are being advertised separately.

No postage or courier. I will not respond to requests on this. Sorry been caught out by this before and ripped off. Pick up, try before you commit. Anyone interested in this will buy. Brilliant bike in great condition.
