The single-pivot flex-stay design keeps the frame light while the linkage-driven shock delivers consistent, predictable suspension performance through a full 120mm of travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a frame for riders building their own XC race bike around a proven World Cup-level platform — genuine race geometry and suspension tuning without the flagship Lab 71 price tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eWhy You'll Like It\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProportional Response geometry, tuned by size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuspension kinematics and geometry are customised per frame size, not simply scaled up or down from one template.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine XC race pedigree\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the platform Cannondale's World Cup team races — a proven, competition-tested frame, not a trail bike wearing a race badge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThreaded BSA bottom bracket\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEasier, lower-maintenance servicing than a press-fit design, with less risk of creaking over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUDH-compatible drivetrain mount\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger compatibility keeps your groupset options open and future-proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully internal cable routing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA clean, modern cockpit with routing that stays tidy regardless of your chosen groupset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis frameset suits serious XC racers and competitive trail riders who want to build their own bike around a genuine World Cup-level platform, choosing their own fork, groupset and wheels rather than buying a fixed-spec build. It's a strong choice for riders who already know their preferred component setup and want the lightest, most race-tuned frame to build it around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn India, the threaded BSA bottom bracket is a genuine practical advantage — easier and cheaper to service locally than a press-fit design, especially in humid conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eGood to Know\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave your BOTS fitter confirm size against Cannondale's Scalpel size chart before ordering — XC race geometry runs more aggressive than a trail bike of the same nominal size. This frameset includes the rear shock but not the fork — plan your fork choice (100-120mm travel, tapered steerer) before your build begins. A professional suspension setup and build is worth it on a frame at this level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Fibre, FlexPivot chainstay, single-pivot suspension design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuspension Travel\u003c\/strong\u003e: 120mm rear (Proportional Response Suspension, tuned by size)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottom Bracket Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: BSA Threaded, 73mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAxle Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: 148x12mm rear thru-axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Derailleur Mount\u003c\/strong\u003e: SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrake Mount\u003c\/strong\u003e: Post Mount, 160mm native rotor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Routing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Internal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadtube\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5\" with 1-1\/8\" upper reducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChainline\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImported By\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ensign Sports, 502, Hill Glade, Opp. HDFC Bank Pali Road, Bandra, Mumbai - 400050, Maharashtra, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNet Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustomer Care Address\u003c\/strong\u003e: 291, 10 Main, 5 Block, Jayanagar, Bangalore - 560041.
