Overview
About this bike
You'll love how fast and effortlessly Scott's Scale 970 flies up and down the trails. Its custom-butted 6061-aluminum frame and a 100mm-travel SunTour fork give you a responsive platform to fly over all kinds of terrain. Plus, the remote control system allows instant lockout for the smooth spots to increase your speed and efficiency. 29-inch Syncros wheels and Maxxis tires stick to the terrain like Velcro and roll over obstacles with confidence, while Shimano hydraulic disc brakes have plenty of power to temper your speed. And, a reliable Shimano 30-speed drivetrain gives you plenty of gear options for whatever the trail throws at you.
