The Scale 960 was not specifically designed for competition. Rather, the product managers at Scott are taking a universal approach with this bike. With its geometry, the Scale 960 is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Racebike of Scott, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. Nevertheless, before making a purchase decision, you should not forget: for 1699 Euro Scott delivers an extremely good fork. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty Scott sets the bar high!
