Purely visually, the aluminum version of the Scales is hardly distinguishable from the much more expensive carbon models. And also the features, such as the cables routed through the headset, remain in the SCALE 930. Here, the Swiss engineers have really delivered a solid job. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Scott. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. Considering that in the range under 2000 Euro, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice! A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty Scott sets the bar high! Pay attention when selecting your size: the Scott Hardtail sizing runs big.
