Scott’s Scale is potentially the ultimate off season, off piste fun bike for racers who want to relax a bit or epic rough riders who don’t want the extra weight and complexity of full suspension.
Race-derived chassis
The highly manipulated, super light, broad and flat main tubes of the front end come straight from Scott’s alloy Scale race frames. Internal cable guides (with ports for Shimano’s XTR Di2 in case you want to posh up your ‘plus’ bike with electronic shifting) spit the controls out ahead of the PF92 BB, while a small chain guide sits on the front derailleur post on the kinked seat tube.
A quick-release clamp lets you drop saddle height manually for now, but the frame is ported for an internally or externally routed dropper. Bridgeless chainstays and flattened and snaked seatstays give masses of mud room and space for a 29er wheel, though the Boost spacing means you won’t be able to just chuck your old race wheels in (at least, not without adaptors).

The Scale gets a lightweight, race-bred Fox 32 fork
The XC vibe is reinforced with a lightweight Fox 32 fork with three-position compression damping control lever on the bar. The 71mm wide Schwalbe Rocket Ron tyres are a fast rather than high-traction choice, and the 40mm Syncros rims create a light overall wheel package.
More than a match for conventional bikes
