* Unlikely traction - without compromise. Patented AI offset drive features super short chain rear forks for superior traction on ascents and a lively steering behavior, without compromising tire freedom or being confined to a single chainring.

* XC maneuverability combined with all-mountain stability. The outfront steering geometry offers you the best of both worlds: quiet and stable on hectic descents and yet quickly maneuverable on other terrain.

* Explosive speed. Say no to energy-wasting flex in your fork. The Scalpel SI is the stiffest XC-fully at the moment, thanks to an AI rear wheel with the same spoke angles on both sides of the wheel. Super short rear forks, LockR lock shafts and Ballistec Carbon construction.

* Ultralight. The system integrated cranks, fork and frame and Zero Pivot rear forks do not add much weight to each other. The Scalpel SI is the lightest XC fully on the market.
