Overview
About this bike
Scott's Contessa Scale 40 is ready to get out and explore your local trails. The lightweight aluminum frame offers a women's-specific fit, so you can comfortably ride for hours, while the 100mm-travel Suntour fork absorbs the impacts of rocks and roots. The wide-ranging 27-speed Shimano drivetrain gives you plenty of gears to scale steep climbs and fly down flowing singletrack, while the Shimano hydraulic disc brakes keep you firmly in control.
