Overview
About this bike
The Scott Contessa Scale RC 900 is a true racing machine, ready to help you achieve top-tier podium status. It's one of the lightest hardtail frames around and is built to give you every advantage on the trail. The HMX carbon frame features a tapered head tube that holds your line with pin-point precision and shock damping seatstays that reduce rider fatigue and enhance control. RockShox provides their plush, lightweight 100mm-travel SID RL Air fork and Scott's RideLoc technology allows you to remotely adjust the suspension setting to always optimize your ride. The 29-inch Syncros XR2.0 wheels are nimble and fast over rough terrain and through tight switchbacks, while the Maxxis tires roll quickly. SRAM's X01-GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain gives you perfect gearing in an instant, the Level brakes deliver outstanding stopping power, and Syncros bar, stem, post, and seat keep the weight to a minimum while keeping you comfortable for the long haul.
