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. The unmatched smoothness and accuracy of the Lefty Ocho fork is the perfect match for the grip and efficiency of carbon FlexPivot frame. Shimano’s new XT Di2 group cracks off shifts with digital accuracy, while the 4-piston brakes are unfazed by even the nastiest descents. With DT Swiss’s feathery XRC 1900 carbon wheels and a DownLow dropper post, it’s ready to lay down serious XC speed wherever you ride.
