Hold on Tight

Thrill ride. With the most advanced XC suspension and geometry, and rowdy-ready spec, the World Cup winning Scalpel redefines cross-country speed – again.

Model Description

Built for winning races and scorching trails, the Scalpel 1 is one of the fastest, lightest, and most capable mountain bikes on the planet. The frame is crafted with our advanced lightweight carbon construction. Our one-piece SystemBar XC-One carbon cockpit controls the unmatched steering precision of the Lefty Ocho Carbon 120 fork. SRAM’s potent XO AXS wireless electronic group handles the shifting, and it all rolls on the speedy DT-Swiss XRC 1501 Spline carbon cross-country wheelset.

What it's for

The thrill of speed. Winning World Cup XC and Marathon races. High-speed trail slaying.
