FeaturesRider profile: XC racers and all-day riders looking for an edge when things get rough. SCALPEL 29 is: The most refined full suspension cross country bike in the world. Engineered to slice tight switchbacks with its 29er Race Geometry. So efficient it’s like buying fitness… legally. TECHNOLOGIES: TRAVEL 100mm front and rear. SUPERLIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN Available in BallisTec Carbon or SmartFormed Alloy versions. Add in System Integration of the Lefty fork, OPI stem/steerer and Hollowgram cranks and you get a complete bike weight our competitors can only dream of. ECS-TC SYSTEM A clamped, 15mm thru axle in the shock linkage eliminates flex and play, providing unmatched center-stiffness for optimum control and steering precision. 29’er RACE GEOMETRY The combination of a steeper-than-average head angle and super short chainstays gives the Scalpel 29’er a similar wheelbase and trail to our 26’er bikes for ultra sharp, responsive handling. ZERO-PIVOT SEATSTAYS Through precise carbon lay-up, the stays are designed to flex vertically while remaining extremely stiff laterally and torsionally. This enhances suspension performance without affecting power delivery. Like the Jekyll, the alloy versions get ECS-TC double bearings in the dropout pivots in place of Zero-Pivot stays for smooth performance. PRESSFIT, FULL CARBON BB30 Oversized, press-fit BB30 and full carbon shell guarantees zero bottom bracket flex no matter what your power output is.
