Technology:
Suspension for speed
- The most advanced suspension ever made for XC. While others sacrifice performance to save weight, our patented FlexPivot suspension delivers both. Incredibly light, with unreal grip, acceleration, and control, it lets you go flat-out everywhere. More speed. More fun.
Degrees of difference
- Scalpel's progressive geometry has evolved even further – we have a full degree and a half slacker headtube angle, a one-degree steeper seat tube angle – creating an XC bike that's more aggressive, lightning-fast, fun, and stable everywhere, from the World Cup to your local loop.
Stiff. Light. Fast.
- At just over 1900 grams, complete with shock, the new Scalpel frame is one of the lightest full-suspension MTB frames on the market. Incredible suspension, impeccable handling, and feathery weight – it's a recipe for victory.
The World's Best XC Fork
- Lefty Ocho is simply the most advanced, smoothest, most precise-handling ultralight fork ever made. Its one-of-a-kind design lets you float through the chop and slice through the chunder like nothing else.
