Smooth. Operator. Designed from the ground up and incorporating the best features from our Flash 29 er, Scalpel, RZ and OverMountain bikes, the new Scalpel 29 er is a lightweight, plush and precise all-around trail rocket. It will give racers an edge on longer, rougher courses and put smiles on the faces of fast trail riders everywhere. The new Scalpel 29 er get ready to operate.

This thing is is SO fast and more responsive than I thought any 29er full suspension bike could ever be! WOW! Jeremiah Bishop, Record winner of 8 consecutive mountain bike stage races, USA National Team
