About the build

The drivetrain isn't uniform: the crank at Core-tier pulls the group below its Balanced-tier parts. The biggest component contrast is between the frame and the suspension — Balanced- vs. Basic-tier. Few mountain bikes reach this component level for less. 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

Zero Fat, Full-on Fury. This is speed stripped down to its essence—the Scalpel HT 3 leaves nothing to chance. Its carbon frame launches forward with unbridled force, Shimano Deore shifting strikes with crisp efficiency, the RockShox Recon Silver fork traces any trail with unshakable traction, and the 29-inch wheels keep momentum high. Roll fast, roll long.
