Phillistine, ….It will be available with Sid Select + , SiD Select or Lefty 120 (which is only available in a carbon chassis)

Scalpel 2 Lefty will be coming, just a bit delayed. Will have a Lefty alloy 120 on it stock. 

The Scalpel 2 in stock can be upgraded with a Lefty 120 carbon fork at a price tag.

Sorry I think we’re saying the same thing. Alloy is only available later this year so if you want lefty it’s the carbon for now

HTA from a 2011 Enduro bike. Took them 13 years.

 

* which is not to say I don't like the new bike. I think the geo and features like a dropper seatpost are great.

What a load of marketing gibberish. Was most appropriate to find a Defender advertisement at the end of the story.

Well that’s the only crowd that can afford it!!
