Expirience with the Scott Contessa Active 30

Ludwig Döhl You want to ride mainly on long tours? Then you will love the Scott Racebike. Scott is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other Racebike around under 1000 Euro that would suit you better. With 5 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
