About the build

Full SRAM across the drivetrain for a clean, uniform setup. Judged purely on component level, this is priced above average for a mountain bike — which says nothing about geometry, fit or how it rides. Geometry figures are missing from the manufacturer, so there's no fit or handling assessment here.

Worth knowing
  • 2,4" tyres, tubeless-ready

Manufacturer's description

Built for winning races and scorching trails, the Scalpel 1 is one of the fastest, lightest, and most capable mountain bikes on the planet. The frame is crafted with our advanced lightweight carbon construction. Our one-piece SystemBar XC-One carbon cockpit controls the unmatched steering precision of the Lefty Ocho Carbon 120 fork. SRAM’s potent XO AXS wireless electronic group handles the shifting, and it all rolls on the speedy DT-Swiss XRC 1501 Spline carbon cross-country wheelset.
