Scalpel Carbon 3
Fast, light and powerful on XC tracks or technical trails – the Scalpel 3 is all about full throttle. The frame is made from our advanced Series 1 carbon. A Shimano XT/Deore 12-speed groupset handles the gear changes, while RockShox SID Select suspension smooths out bumps with apparent ease. Lightweight Stan's NoTubes Crest MK4 rims round off the package.
