Confidence on edge
No hesitant, fistful-of-brakes descending here. The ultra slack, 66.5¡ front end gives you the stability and control you need to really open it up on the downhills. Brake later. Corner harder. Pass on the descents.
Stay centered
Scalpel HTÕs Proportional Response size-specific chainstays and steep seat angle keep you balanced between the wheels for better traction and power on the ups, and more confident control on the downs.
Drop the chatter
Sculpted flex zones in the chainstays partner with dropped seatstays to eat up the chatter from rowdy terrain, boosting control, smoothing the ride, minimizing fatigue. Go harder. Go faster. Go farther.
