It's almost time for 2016. Some photos are starting to come up and a few new releases have been leaked. Hopefully this isn't everything that comes up in 2016. But I'll start it off...

I was hoping that they'd make the Ai offset on the Scalpel as well... It would be very convenient if the same wheels could be used on the F-Si and the Scalpel (what's wrong with Ai 12mm axle?). It doesn't look like it though.

So what is this completely new Scalpel mentioned in the F-Si thread supposed to be all about?

I haven't seen any of the CFR guys on a new Scalpel yet; they were riding the F-Si in XCO WCs before it was released.

So the rumor is Cannondale is coming out with three scalpels in 2016. The standard scalpel, which I hope is the picture posted above. A FSi version of the scalpel, that Marsbar and I would be happy to see introduced. Finally a long travel scalpel (120 or 130) to align with the Anthem X. One thing is for sure, C'Dale is keeping a tight wrap on the new products this year.

You can see the new stem in the pics from the original post as well.

I wonder why the CFR riders aren't using it, at least in the recent World Cup races.

Doesn't look all that exciting :/ But I hope to be proved wrong :)

I guess they are coming up with variety of angles and lengths stem options
that are lacking in OPI .

I'm also curious about the OPI stem. It looks much cleaner IMO, and it shouldn't be a problem to make it in other lengths. Maybe it's too expensive to make?

Anyway, I have a 60 mm 1.5" Cannondale stem and a SuperMax steerer tube in my cupboard waiting to be installed on my F-Si.

I guess they aren't going to call it the Scalpel X. It looks to have 650b wheels and the new spidering.
