Overview of components
Fork

Fork material
The fork is made out of carbon, so, it won’t add up to much weight to your bike. However, the price you have to pay for a carbon fork is considerably higher.
Rear Shock
The Scalpel Hi-MOD Ultimate has a rear shock with a travel of 100mm. The model Fox Float DPS Factory EVOL is the one installed in this bike. Rear shocks improve riding comfort and give you greater control over all terrains. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Scalpel Hi-MOD Ultimate model has 29″ carbon wheels. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the bike itself.
Brakes

Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In short, make sure you double-check if it fits you.
