If you buy the Scott Hardtail, you will really feel suitably prepared for on long tours. Because that´s exactly what it was developed for. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Racebike of Scott. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. In the price range under 800 Euro, other manufacturers tend to install higher quality shifting systems. Athletes should nevertheless pay attention to this bike, because on the way to the summit, the ASPECT 970 leaves the remaining Racebikes in the dust. With 5 years the warranty is another neat feature.
