A whole new breed of XC Hardtail, purpose built to hurt ‘em on the ups, drop ‘em on the downs and propel you straight to the top step.

Speed, Efficiency, and Endurance
No hesitant, fistful-of-brakes descending here. The ultra slack, 66.5° front end gives you the stability and control you need to really open it up on the downhills. Brake later. Corner harder. Pass on the descents.
Scalpel HT’s Proportional Response size-specific chainstays and steep seat angle keep you balanced between the wheels for better traction and power on the ups, and more confident control on the downs.
Full size-specific frame geometry, right down to the chainstay lengths. Keeps the rider centered between the wheels for incredible traction and handling.
Super slack 66.5° head angle delivers confidence and speed on steep descents that other XC bikes just can't match.
Internal cable routing system lets you run full housing for weather-proof reliability, or interrupted housing for maximum weight savings.
