Be a trail surgeon.
“Rock Solid” is not a term usually used to describe a nimble, featherweight
XC race bike, but it’s perfectly fitting for the Scalpel 29. With its ultra
stiff-and-smooth Lefty fork, BallisTec carbon construction and ECS-TC pivots,
the Scalpel is the most efficient pedaling and and precise handling XC weapon
out there.
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.

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.
