Description

Experience the purest form of cross-country racing with the Scalpel HT Carbon 3. This hardtail mountain bike is a ripping fast, progressive XC machine, purpose-built to dominate climbs, excel on descents, and propel you straight to the podium. It's speed stripped down to its essence, leaving nothing to chance.

The lightweight carbon frame of the Scalpel HT Carbon 3 launches forward with unbridled force, making every pedal stroke count. You'll appreciate the crisp and efficient shifting delivered by the Shimano Deore drivetrain, while the RockShox Recon Silver fork ensures unshakable traction, tracing every trail contour with precision. Rolling on 29-inch wheels, this bike maintains high momentum, allowing you to roll fast and roll long.

Forget hesitant, brake-grabbing descents. The ultra-slack 66.5° head angle provides the stability and control you need to truly open it up on the downhills, letting you brake later, corner harder, and pass with confidence. With Scalpel HT’s Proportional Response size-specific chainstays and a steep seat angle, you'll remain perfectly balanced between the wheels, translating to superior traction and power on the climbs, and more confident control when descending. Sculpted flex zones in the chainstays, paired with dropped seatstays, effectively absorb trail chatter, boosting control, smoothing your ride, and minimizing fatigue. This means you can go harder, go faster, and go farther.
