          The New Cutting Edge

          Welcome to the LAB

          Just when you thought this screaming fast XC trail bike couldn't get any better, we sent it to finishing school at LAB71. The lightest Hi-MOD carbon frame, kitted out with a drool-worthy list of top-tier components and finished in a gallery-worthy paint scheme. Quantities are limited. Desire is not.

          Superior Suspension. Superior Traction.
          Scalpel SE’s patented FlexPivot suspension results in more grip, more control, and more speed. 120mm of plush travel works so well that it feels like so much more – meaning all-day singletrack sessions are a gas.
          Lead with Lefty
          With its unique, single-sided design, and proprietary needle bearing internals, the ultralight Lefty Ocho Carbon offers 120mm of the smoothest, most precise-handling front suspension out there – because better control equals more speed.
          Big Trail Capability
          Scalpel’s progressive XC attitude has evolved even further with a slack and stable 67˚ headtube angle – combined with shorter stems, bigger tires, dropper posts and bigger travel: if you love riding trails fast, precise and in full control, then this is the bike for you.
