Hold on Tight 
Thrill ride. With the most advanced XC suspension and geometry, and rowdy-ready spec, the new Scalpel redefines cross-country speed – again.

Model Description
The Scalpel 2 Lefty is a light, fast, and thrilling XC machine, capable of winning races or just blurring the trail around you.
