For me the Trek or possibly the 'dale, the others have steeper head angles (70+) which are now drifting out of fashion as XC courses get gnarlier.

Sorry guys but everything has changed.
I'll buy full and wonder between c'dale scalpel 5 (2017) and trek top fuel 9.
- new scalpel - AI- so I have to go with SI crank (big q-factor- 175), to install 1 1/8 stem I have to change steerer/install adapter...but lefty:) and I can close monarch
- top fuel - I can't close damper, is less stiff, I think
In scalpel and top fuel - will be 1x11 and new wheels.
What do you think which is better?
