Technically, fullys are <strong>the superior system<\/strong>. However, anyone who wants to call hardtails dead, based on these facts, has never spent more than two seasons with a fully. At some point, when the rear triangle bearings are worn out, the rear triangle begins to squeak and the shock requires a service, it becomes apparent why hardtails are still justified in 2023. Not only are they significantly cheaper, they are also lighter. Hardtails are also more carefree. Here you can compare the <strong>the two concepts:<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"comarison--item\">\n   <a href=\"https:\/\/bike-test.com\/en\/mountainbike-comparisson\/scott-scale-rc-world-cup-bike-2023_vs_scott-spark-rc-pro-2023\">\n      <div class=\"latest-holder\">\n         <div class=\"latest_head-title\">\n            <h3>Scott SCALE RC WORLD CUP BIKE <span>vs<\/span> Scott SPARK RC PRO<\/h3>\n         <\/div>\n         <div class=\"latest_mid-bike\">\n           \t\t\t<div class=\"cols_6 bike-data\"><span class=\"img_off_block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bike-test.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23_292-1.jpg?fit=450%2C450&ssl=1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cols_6 bike-data\"><span class=\"img_off_block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bike-test.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23_161-2.jpg?fit=450%2C450&ssl=1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t         <\/div>\n         <span class=\"button_latest-compare\"> <span class=\"v-text\">View comparisson<\/span><\/span>\n      <\/div>\n   <\/a>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nThanks to the great combination of puristic design and riding experience,<strong>hardtails will never disappear<\/strong>. And obviously Scott thinks so too and is breathing new life into its 2023 Scale.\r\n\r\n<\/div><div class=\"blog-mid-content\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n\r\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=Xj15vtqjySE\" title=\"Scott Scale RC SL 2023 im ersten Test\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xj15vtqjySE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\r\n\r\n<\/div><div class=\"blog-mid-content\">\r\n<h2>Old vs. new &#8211; what distinguishes the new Scott Scale from its predecessor?<\/h2>\r\nAfter Scott said goodbye to classic 100 millimeter forks with the Spark, we expected a new Scale RC with 120 millimeters of travel at the front. But we were wrong. The new Scott Scale RC remains a <strong>classic race hardtail with 100 millimeters of travel<\/strong> at the front. The new scale concept does not want to define a new genre, but rather combine absolute lightweight construction with a durable construction. We weighed the Scale RC SL frame in size L including the thru-axle at <strong>933 grams<\/strong>. (the RC Worldcup and RC versions should be 50 \u2013 100 grams heavier). Depending on the paint finish, the predecessor was in a similar weight range. And all this, although Scott has saved every imaginable aluminum inlay compared to the old model. So does this new bike feel like progress at all?\r\n<h2>The main aim of the new scale: minimise potential sources of defects<\/h2>\r\nThe bottle cage eyelets are now made of ultra-hard plastic and clip into the frame. The chain guide is also attached to the frame with a replaceable plastic thread. The threads for the cable guides in the head tube are completely eliminated (thanks to the cable routing through the headset). All these innovations not only reduce weight, but also eliminate potential sources of defects for the frame \u2013 and that makes it more durable. The form-fitting and robust chainstay protection also contributes to this. The significantly more voluminous tube shapes, as well as the perceived higher rigidity &#8211; especially in the steering head area &#8211; explain why there is hardly any progress in terms of weight. Even if the lightweight construction with carbon was implemented much more consistently than on the predecessor, the weight reduction is only minimal. It&#8217;s also fair to say that Scott prioritised improving the bike&#8217;s handling and durability over new weight records. And yet there are <strong>very clear<\/strong> changes in the new Scale, which you can also feel on the trail.\r\n\r\n<\/div><div class=\"blog-two-colms\">\r\n<div class=\"blog-two-colms50\">\r\n\r\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bike-test.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/flaschenhalter.jpg?w=1240&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Scott Scale 2023 with technical novelty; the bottle holder\">\r\n<figure><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Metal inserts have been minimised in every conceivable place in the frame.

This means, that the holes in the down tube are no longer necessary. This allows the frame to be constructed even more easily.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"blog-mid-content\"><\/div><div class=\"blog-mid-content\">\r\n<h2>Significant geometry changes<\/h2>\r\n\u201cSlack\u201d and \u201csteep\u201d are the words that are currently thrown around in almost every new product presentation. But with the Scott Scale, we should <strong>also mention the word &#8220;deeper&#8221;<\/strong>. At 67.3 degrees, the steering angle on the new Spark is not only significantly flatter than the predecessor, it can also be adjusted by 0.6 degrees. This can be done to suit personal preferences, because of the well-known Spark headset. The reach also increases. Thanks to the steeper seat angle, the top tube remains about the same length. On the trail, however, the lower bottom bracket is particularly noticeable. Behind the handlebars, it feels much more safe than with the old model during the downhill. This makes the handling of the new Scale even more intuitive. So the old geometry from 2017 has been <strong>clearly developed for the better<\/strong>. The seating position remains sporty, but the handling is more intuitive.\r\n<strong>Compare the geometry data of the old 2022 and the new 2023 scale 1 to 1:<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"comarison--item\">\n   <a href=\"https:\/\/bike-test.com\/en\/mountainbike-comparisson\/scott-scale-rc-team-issue-2023_vs_scott-scale-rc-team-issue-axs-2022\">\n      <div class=\"latest-holder\">\n         <div class=\"latest_head-title\">\n            <h3>Scott SCALE RC TEAM ISSUE <span>vs<\/span> Scott Scale RC Team Issue AXS<\/h3>\n         <\/div>\n         <div class=\"latest_mid-bike\">\n           \t\t\t<div class=\"cols_6 bike-data\"><span class=\"img_off_block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bike-test.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23_293-1.jpg?fit=450%2C450&ssl=1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cols_6 bike-data\"><span class=\"img_off_block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bike-test.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Scott_Scale_RC_Team_Issue_AXS-1.jpg?fit=450%2C450&ssl=1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t         <\/div>\n         <span class=\"button_latest-compare\"> <span class=\"v-text\">View comparisson<\/span><\/span>\n      <\/div>\n   <\/a>\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>The standards of the new Scott Scale<\/h2>\r\nOnly the headset has changed, compared to the predecessor.

Only the <a href=\"https:\/\/bike-test.com\/en\/review\/specialized-s-works-epic-hardtail-2022\/\">Specialized Epic HT,<\/a>, which was presented for the first time in 2017, can be described as a constant on the market. Star developer Peter Denk not only designed the frame to be timeless, but also extremely light. Geometry and weight are still fully competitive today. Cannondale has recently brought significantly more movement to the market with its new <a href=\"https:\/\/bike-test.com\/en\/review\/cannondale-scalpel-ht-carbon-2-2022\/\">Scalpel HT<\/a> with 110 millimeters of spring travel and a descent-oriented geometry. Mondraker announced in 2021, that the frame of its new <a href=\"https:\/\/bike-test.com\/en\/review\/mondraker-podium-carbon-rr-sl-2022\/\">podium will weigh under 800 grams<\/a>. We would like to weigh this unprecedented benchmark. Simplon recently proved with its Razorblade frame weight of 830 grams \u2013 including the thru-axle \u2013 that these dimensions are possible. With the <a href=\"\/en\/review\/\/cervelo-zht-5-xx1-axs-2023\/\">ZHT-5<\/a>, Cervelo dares to enter the MTB market as a classic road bike brand for the first time, but isn\u2019t there yet when it comes to geometry or weight. <a href=\"https:\/\/bike-test.com\/en\/review\/canyon-exceed-cfr-ltd-2023\/\">Canyon&#8217;s current Exceed<\/a> not only has a much lighter frame than the Cervelo, but also some very clever details. With its integrated steering limiter, it sets itself apart from the crowd.\r\n\r\n<div class=\"comarison--item\">\n   <a

Scale is also being completely revised<\/h2>\r\nNot only the prestigious carbon models of the scale get a new frame. The significantly cheaper aluminum hardtails are also being updated. As with the Spark, the Swiss have also managed to <strong>transfer the look of the carbon frame to the cheaper aluminum chassis<\/strong>. In addition to the look, the most important features are also carried over to the aluminum models. Such as the cable routing through the headset and the adjustable steering angle. If necessary, not only can a longer 110 fork be installed afterwards, but the steering angle can also be adjusted to personal preference.\r\n<strong>You can see all aluminum models

old Scale was the most successful hardtail in the Cross Country World Cup. But after more than 5 years on the market and the racetracks of this world, it was time for an update. Instead of mercilessly subordinating the new construction for the lowest frame weight, Scott takes meaningful steps towards longevity. The exchangeable threads of the bottle holders are a symbol of a new era with sensible lightweight construction. The biggest innovation of the new Scale is actually the update of the geometry. With the significantly slacker steering angle and the lower bottom bracket, the new Scale rides more confidently than its predecessor, even on rough trail sections. And of course, we need to mention the super tidy look of the bike. We had the honour of riding the Scott Scale RS SL before release and were impressed by the 8.9-kilo bike. With the Scale, Scott has succeeded in making a meaningful new edition of his classic.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\nIn this article, the <a href=\"https:\/\/bike-test.com\/en\/insides\/the-bike-test-com-team\/\">author Ludwig D\u00f6hl has incorporated his experience from more than 100,000 kilometers<\/a> in the mountain bike saddle.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New products for 2023: Scott Scale \u2013 Hardtails are not dead!
