Expirience with the Scott Contessa Active 60

Ludwig Döhl You prefer your bike to be used as a on sporty excursions? Then the Contessa Active 60 and you could really hit it off. Thanks to a moderate 68,5 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. The seating position does not manage to be too athletic, nor too upright. It´s moderate character is likely to suite the vast majority of bikers. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the Scott Contessa Active 60 doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build Racebike in the same price range that are more focused on descends. Athletes should nevertheless pay attention to this bike, because on the way to the summit, the Scott Hardtail leaves the remaining Racebikes in the dust. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty Scott sets the bar high!
