The FASTEST XC Mountain bike there is!? FIRST ride on a Cannondale Scalpel | POV training ride
This is my very first mountain bike ride in years! I've owned an mtb before, but it's an oldie and I have not used it for a very long time. Besides some mtb rides abroad I hardly ever ride mtb until now! I have this super fast Cannondale Scalpel to use for 2021. It's (on of the) fastest and best performing Cross Country Mountain bikes currently available. So in this video I'm quickly setting the bike up for a first ride on our local single track. The single track is very small, short and definitely doesn't do the Scalpel justice but it was ok for this first ride. I'll be taking this beast to some bigger and better trails for sure!!!

I actually hate this trail on my gravel bike...
Isn't a ful suspension MTB kind of too much for Dutch trails? I do both road cycling and MTB and i find using a hardtail actually way more fun to ride on Dutch trails

Well this trail doesn't really need any suspension but i just been to Amerongen and that was really nice to have this fully. I was riding with a buddy on a hard tail and I noticed a massive difference when going through corners with bumps etc, i was lots faster. Also it's way more comfortable. I have no recent experience on a hard tail so can't tell the difference myself....
Netherlands is quite clowdy!
My Trek supercaliber is much faster! ( when you are riding it😁) Keep on the good work Jasper!🤙🏼

do you recommend this bike for only commuting ?

No, unless you commute through rock gardens, Mtb trails and steep descents 😜
Its fast, but the fastest? For me my scott spark is more agressive and faster (tested both). The cannondale is more smooth. But i guess its personal. btw: I ride my tires 1.5 front and 1.7 rear (2.25 tires) for racing. I can go a bit lower when cruising or mayby when i would use wider rims. I keep the handle bars at 68 cm. I feel there is no reason to ride it wider (its a trend), handling does not improve much more and at 68 cm your more versatile. Especially with narrower single tracks , tight cornering and riding in a platoon.

Just what I've been told 😆😆 I'm sure the Scott is a very good bike too!🤙🤙 If i ride 1.7 the rear starts to roll too much in corners so need more pressure..

🤔 Why didn't you try the hill braamberg that's connected to this trail? You make 200 meters of elevation over 6 km and it's constantly between 10 and 25 percent steep...

Je snelheid is niet te hoog, waarschijnlijk wel je bandenspanning te hoog zodat je te weinig grip hebt en minder snel de bocht kan maken. ;-)

Jij kan dat zien vanaf thuis op de bank🤷🏼♂️ 🤣🤣 Dit parcours is een mini mouse baantje, ik weet heel goed hoe hard ik wel of niet kan. Binnenkort een nieuwe video op deze bike op Amerongen en Den Treek, daar ga ik veel harder omdat het parcours zich daar ook voor leent. Zie ook mijn video op de Lage Vuursche singletrack in de sneeuw, zelfs daar kan ik veel harder rijden dan op dit baantje.
just watch some xco races, i dont think 1 bike is particularly faster than another its just the athlete on the day.
