Overview
About this bike
Enjoy the regal ride of Scott's Contessa 40. It's built specifically for women with a light Scott 6061-aluminum frame that impresses in both the pedal-power and handling departments, while its short, low top tube offers a great fit as well as easy mounts and dismounts. You'll also appreciate how the SunTour suspension fork smooths roads and trails with its 100mm of travel. Plus, this sweet ride features a 24-speed drivetrain for easy climbing, linear-pull brakes for fine speed control and a women's seat and handlebar for optimum comfort.
