Efficient Millimeters
More travel and better quality. Thanks to the magic of our FlexPivot kinematics and Proportional Response suspension, the Scalpel's 120mm of travel provides more traction and control than ever, with all the pedaling efficiency and responsiveness you'd expect from a World Cup-class bike.
Blazingly Fast
Speed starts with geometry, and the Scalpel has the best numbers. It has a slack 66.6º head angle, a steeper 75.5º seat tube angle, and chainstays that grow as the frame size increases, to keep the rider always balanced between the wheels. The result? More power and traction on climbs, better control in corners, and a new level of confidence when riding at high speed.
The Beauty That Suggests Speed
It's not an exercise in aesthetic design. It's pure and tough design to achieve a purpose. Each and every element that shapes the Scalpel has been created under the auspices of kinematics, lightness, stiffness, and performance. The objective defines the shape, rather than the shape limiting performance. And fast often looks spectacular.
