SCOTT Scale RC
Wheel Size: 29" | Front Travel: 100mm
The SCOTT Scale RC is a purpose-built cross-country hardtail that combines 30 years of carbon expertise with a goal of uncompromising race performance. Its monocoque frame construction uses carefully balanced carbon fiber mixes—it's stiffer where power transfer demands it, compliant where comfort counts—resulting in a super-efficient frameset that starts at just 847 grams. World Champions Nino Schurter and Kate Courtney helped develop perfected geo meant to deliver aggressive, efficient handling across varied terrain. Additionally, obsessive attention to detail, from hollow dropouts to polymer bottle cage inserts, has cut hardware weight nearly in half.
The SCOTT Scale RC delivers a modern XC riding experience that balances climbing prowess, responsive handling, and surprising technical capability. Whether you're chasing podiums, looking for the purest expression of cross-country speed, or simply seeking that unbeatable feeling of ultralight efficiency, the Scale RC just might be the cross-country machine for you.
