Fast, light, and capable on XC courses or technical trails, the Scalpel 3 is built to fly. The frameset is made of our advanced lightweight carbon construction. Then it gets built up with a Shimano XT/Deore 12-speed drivetrain, remote-actuated RockShox SID Select suspension both front and rear, and Stan’s NoTubes Crest MK4 rims for excellent speed and control.
