What makes a Scott scale 70 so good?

Sitting up and looking at the view isn’t really an option; the Scale 70 is all about clocking up the miles, and that’s something that it does very well indeed. A rigid frame structure combined with an impressively low overall weight gives the Scott a surprising turn of speed.

How much does a scale 70 bike weigh?

Weighing in at 3lb less than some other bikes at this price despite wearing a collection of broadly similar components, it’s apparent that the Scale 70’s frame is a bit special. Hydroformed top and down tubes provide a rigid backbone, flaring at the bike’s mid-point to encircle the seat tube and anchor the bottom bracket respectively.

What kind of carbon fibre does Scott scale use?

The Scott Scale 35, 30, 20, 10 all use HMF carbon fibre whereas the top end Scale RC, Premium and SL models all employ Scott’s even stiffer HMX carbon fibre which has helped them produce the lightest MTB frame currently in production, weighing in at 899grams.
