Expirience with the Scott Contessa Active 10

Ludwig Döhl When it comes to riding on sporty excursions, the Scott Racebike feels really good. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. The balanced seating position is likely to suite the taste of the majority of bikers. Heavy riders over 85 kilos aren´t likely to encounter too many problems with the high weight of 13,8 kg. For lighter riders, this could be a disturbance. With 5 years the warranty is another neat feature.
