Scarp

mtb
01

Origin

The Scarp is KTM's aluminium answer to riders who want full suspension without a carbon price tag. Using the brand's SLL (Straight-Line-Link) rear suspension — a Horst-link four-bar design — it achieves 90 mm of active, anti-squat rear travel that works well under pedalling load. Positioned below the carbon Lycan in the line-up, the Scarp remains a solid choice for recreational XC and light trail riding where a hardtail feels too unforgiving.
