The All-new 2024 Scalpel! Ever since the first one proved that dual suspension could be faster than hardtails way back in 2002, Scalpels have always led the way. Moving XC forward. Defining what cross-country will be, not what it is or has been. This new beauty continues that legendary legacy. More travel, more capable geo, more capable spec, and racy light weight. Blurring the lines between full-tilt trail capability and full-on race speed. Because these days, they are one and the same. Fast may be fun. But faster is funner. Welcome to faster.

The LAB71 is the all-out, pull out all the stops, the best spec, carbon frame, and graphics treatment that money can buy. The lightest and best spec in the range.
