Efficient millimeters
More travel and better quality. Thanks to the magic of our FlexPivot kinematics and Proportional Response suspension, the Scalpel’s 120 mm of travel delivers more traction and control than ever before, with all the pedaling efficiency and responsiveness you’d expect from a World Cup-caliber bike.
An Unmatched Fork
No other fork turns as many heads as the Lefty. It’s one of a kind—and so is its performance. Its unique single-tube design and friction-eliminating needle bearings deliver instant, smooth, and stiff response that’s second to none. That’s why it’s been a constant presence on the podium for the past 20 years.
Devilishly fast
Speed starts with geometry, and the Scalpel has the best numbers. It features a slack 66.6° Headset angle, a more upright 75.5° seat tube angle, and chainstays that get longer as the frame size increases, keeping the rider perfectly balanced between the wheels. The result? More power and traction on climbs, better control in corners, and a new level of confidence when riding at high speeds.
