          The purest form of racing

          Confidence on edge

          More Info

          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.

          Stay centered

          More Info

          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.

          Features

          Proportional Response Geometry

          Full size-specific frame geometry, right down to the chainstay lengths. Keeps the rider centered between the wheels for incredible traction and handling.

          Slack Head Tube Angle

          Super slack 66.5° head angle delivers confidence and speed on steep descents that other XC bikes just can't match.

          Convertible Cable Stops

          Internal cable routing system lets you run full housing for weather-proof reliability, or interrupted housing for maximum weight savings.

          Drop the chatter
          Sculpted flex zones in the chainstays partner with dropped seatstays to eat up the chatter from rowdy terrain, boosting control, smoothing the ride, minimizing fatigue. Go harder. Go faster. Go farther.
