Engineered for precision and speed, the Scalpel HT redefines the modern XC hardtail — designed to dominate climbs and rip through technical descents.

Overview

The Scalpel 3 HT delivers lightweight efficiency without compromising control, built around the ultra-light, stiff and responsive Scalpel HT carbon frame.

RockShox SID SL suspension with 100mm of race-tuned travel keeps the front end smooth, Shimano Deore 12-speed shifting delivers crisp and reliable gear changes, and Shimano MT6100 hydraulic disc brakes bring confident stopping power.

Progressive geometry and race-ready components make it an ideal choice for serious XC riders and racers — and the bold Highlighter colorway ensures you stand out as much as you perform.

Why You'll Like It

An ultra-light, stiff carbon race frame

The Scalpel HT Carbon frame is engineered for genuine race performance — stiff where it matters, light everywhere else.

Race-tuned suspension

The RockShox SID SL Select+ fork's DebonAir air spring is purpose-built for XC racing, with adjustable rebound and a remote lockout.

Crisp, reliable 12-speed shifting

Shimano Deore/SLX/XT mixed drivetrain components deliver dependable shifting at every gear.

Tubeless-ready from the start

Stan's NoTubes Crest Mk4 rims are ready to go tubeless, reducing pinch flats and letting you run lower pressures.

Progressive race geometry

Built specifically for XC racing — confident on climbs, precise on technical descents.

Who Is It For?

The Scalpel 3 HT suits a rider who's serious about cross-country racing — someone who wants genuine race-bike efficiency on the climbs and precise, confident handling on technical descents, without stepping up to a full-suspension bike.

For Indian riders racing XC events or putting in serious trail mileage, the race-tuned suspension and carbon frame deliver a genuine performance edge over a standard hardtail.

Good to Know
  • The wheels are tubeless-ready — going tubeless is worth considering for lower pressures and fewer pinch flats on technical terrain.
  • The remote lockout on the fork is genuinely useful for efficient climbing on smoother sections of a course.
  • A quick post-ride wipe-down of the drivetrain and brake rotors keeps everything running at its best between services.
