SCOTT Scale 925

Hardtail mountain bikes continue to offer simplicity and responsiveness. SCOTT’s offerings have always been world class and the latest SCOTT Scale 925 continues to impress. This updated iteration of the Scale 925 introduces the Syncros Cable Integration System to the frame, and a slick FOX 32 Rhythm fork. 

The build features a Shimano XT/SLX 12-speed drivetrain and Syncros components, making for a hardtail that is just itching to finish first. The Scale 925 brings you racing inspired geometry, coupled with a straightforward and sharp design that provides the Scale 900 line with its distinctive character and aggressive look. A bike that proudly flaunts its definitive characteristics, this rig is ready for just about anything.

To help achieve The Scale’s hardtail bliss, SCOTT utilized FEA (Finite Element Analysis) software in order to map out an optimized carbon lay-up. With FEA, they simulated force on virtual models of the frame while incorporating all physical phenomena that exist in the real world. This intensive process yields an optimized surface area for the frame, a super light construction, and a compact frame without sacrificing the stiffness or durability. 

On a hardtail you want your frame to flex so as to provide a comfortable ride without giving up critical structural integrity. In their virtual modeling process SCOTT worked meticulously to create controlled flex in the seat-stays, seat-tube, and top-tube. The slight flex in zones related directly to comfort keeps you from fatiguing as easily as you would in other carbon frames with less optimized fiber arrangements.
