Expirience with the Scott SCALE 970

Ludwig Döhl The Scale is a race bike mercilessly trimmed for propulsion and comes with a very light carbon frame. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Scott Racebike. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. When entering the saddle, the SCALE 970 conveys a balanced seating position. And finally, we need to emphasize, that Scott installed better wheels at a price of 1299 Euro than the competition. With 5 years the warranty is another neat feature.
