Scratch Air 8
Session Skin, Remedy Soul
Got an itch for big mountains, sick lines, and serious drops, but still have to pedal to the top? This Scratch satisfies. Using the same frame all Scratch models get, the Scratch 8 uses air shocks front and rear to keep things as light as possible. Add to that a versatile triple chainring crankset, and the Scratch 8 is ready to go anywhere you point it.
