2019 Scott Scale 920

Overview

About this bike

The SCOTT Scale 920 is a speed-focused hardtail with a featherweight carbon frame and geometry inspired by racing at the highest level. The carbon layup is designed with specific, controlled flex in areas that increase rider comfort and guarantee optimal absorption of vibrations, without sacrificing pedaling stiffness. The result is a frame that is comfortable both in the saddle and while standing on the pedals, which is essential for saving energy on technical downhill sections. Additional features such as a tapered headtube, internal cable routing, and a unique rear brake mount that anchors directly with the chainstay and thru axle, further add to the performance of this capable XC machine. When you're cleaning steep, punchy climb or nailing tricky technical sections, you want a suspension fork that is both reliable and functional. This is where the Fox 32 Float Rhythm comes in. It features boost spacing, 100mm of trail-taming travel, and a remote lockout to adjust to varying terrain. Its rebound adjust allows you to tune the ride feel to specific trails and your riding style. For fast and accurate shifting the Scale 920 is specced with a SRAM GX Eagle rear derailleur and NX shifter. Not only does Eagle offer 12 gears for excellent versatility, but it also functions great in rough, muddy conditions. Furthermore, the DUB bottom bracket improves drivetrain performance with lighter, smoother, and longer-lasting bearings. Stopping power is handled by the Shimano MT500 hydraulic disc brakes, with a lever geometry that allows for 1-finger braking so you can maintain the best grip over rough terrain. Syncros X-25 rims laced to Formula center lock hubs creates a light and sturdy wheelset. They're tubeless ready and the ideal width for XC riding. Traction and speed are balanced with the Maxxis Rekon Race 2.25-inch tires, which are tubeless ready and feature EXO casing for improved sidewall protection.
