* ZERO PIVOTS, ZERO COMPETITION. The lightest, stiffest, most efficient dual suspension XC race bike on the planet. The Scalpel isn’t just in a class by itself
- it’s attending an entirely different school. * ZERO PIVOT. No bearings, no bushings, nothing to add weight or cause play, just chain stays & seat stays engineered to flex along a given path, providing 80 mm of plush, progressive travel. * SYSTEM INTEGRATION. Scalpel achieves unheard of levels of light weight & efficiency by System Integration design. We craft components to work together, like the Lefty fork & Si Stem/ Steerer, or the Si/SL Hollowgram crankset with our BB30 system. * * BALLISTEC CARBON. Lighter & stiffer than aluminum, more dent resistant than steel, Ballis Tec carbon can shake off rock strikes & impacts that would destroy Scalpel’s flimsy competition. & the Scalpel frame weighs just 1580 grams complete with shock
