Maximum speed with full confidence
With this bike, you can let it run downhill. The ultra-flat head angle of 67° scores with plenty of stability and control to really let loose on the downhill. Brake later, corner harder, and attack on the descents.

Central seating position
The size-specific Proportional Response Design of the chainstays and the steep seat angle of the Scalpel HT bring the rider into a central position on the bike - for better traction and maximum control on descents.

More flex for more comfort.
The chainstays are designed to absorb and filter out the smallest bumps in combination with the low-positioned seatstays. This prevents early fatigue of the rider and saves energy. A crucial advantage.
