SAFETY EVEN IN BORDERLINE SITUATIONS
No fear on the downhill. The open steering angle (67°) increases the stability and control you need when you have to step on the gas downhill. Brake at the last. Turn faster. Sneak past your opponent.
STAY CENTERED ON THE BIKE.
The Scalpel HT's size-specific Proportional Response increases the length of the wagon as the frame size increases, so you always have a centered riding position for maximum handling and traction.
FORGET ABOUT BUMPINESS
Specific flex zones on the top chainstays allow you to absorb impacts and dampen bumps from the ground, improving control and reducing fatigue, allowing you to ride harder, longer. Push harder. Go faster. Go even further.
