The all-new Scalpel is a thrill ride. With the most advanced suspension and geometry ever to grace a lightweight race machine, plus aggressive XC spec, Scalpel finds extra speed on every part of the trail.
Accelerate where others hesitate, grip where others slip, overtake where others brake. Scalpel leads the charge into a whole new era of XC. Punch your ticket, clip in, and get ready.
Features
FlexPivot
FlexPivot stays are key to Scalpel’s incredible suspension performance and low weight. These patented carbon sections act as virtual Horst link pivots, creating a true four-bar link suspension that allows our engineers to precisely tailor how the suspension responds to pedaling, braking, and bump forces, without the weight or maintenance of bearings.
Fly Low
The cat’s out of the bag: A dropper post’s ability to instantly raise or lower a bike’s saddle for technical sections or steep descents is a secret to speed that XC riders can’t ignore anymore. It’s why you’ll find them on any Scalpel – so you can command any terrain, and fast.
Proportional Response Suspension
How a suspension system responds to inputs is heavily influenced by the rider’s center of gravity, yet most designs on the market use the exact same suspension layout across all the sizes. With Proportional Response, we customise the kinematics by size to deliver the absolute best traction, braking, and pedaling performance.
Geometric Advantage
Full size-specific customisation keeps you balanced in the sweet spot. A wicked slack 66.6o head tube angle delivers confidence at speed. Steeper 75.5o seat tube angle and longer reach keeps you in the perfect position for power and traction on the climbs. Hurt ‘em on the ups, drop ‘em on the downs.
