Help me understand Scott


Active Monkey

Recommended Posts

Im looking at a Scott for my next MTB in the next month or 2. Currently I have a Silverback Saturn which I bought as a starter to see im I enjoy the sport and now wanting to go tubless and get new parts I would rather buy a better bike.

 

Problem is I dont know scott models and classes I see they have Racing, Trail, All Mountain, Free Ride, Downhill, Dirt

 

Presume I would look at the Racing, Trail, All Mountain ?

 

Looking for a nice bike to do some trails, do some MTB tracks, ride to work and maybe some competitions a little later.

Don't listen to Tumbleweed, he's trying to trick you!

 

What you really want is a Scott Voltage FR10

Just look at it glisten... look at it glisten!

 

On a bike like that, people will watch in awe (even if you come stone last in a race)

 

Plus it's guaranteed to make you ride like Curtis Robinson and the Coastal Crew

 

 

...but if you're not man enough... then I guess you could settle for a Scott Spark 60 :P :lol:

 

...a well priced (approx. 13k) full susser good for trails and racing

Stop f**king around. Just get a Morewood.

 

+1, hahaha!

 

unfortunately I have been diagnosed with Morewood-elitism-titis... I have 2 of the suckers, I love them... but I am now cursed cos I need an XC/trail bike, and a zula is what my heart wants... but a Raleigh Nomad is what my wallet says I can have :lol:

Take off them blinkers and don't be scared to look beyond the mass produced stuff.

 

Like the SALSA Horsethief!

Nah boet. Save up until you can get a Zula. Having two other Morewoods you're too used to that special feeling to get onto something, er... less special. Can't say enough good things about the Zula. A XC bike for the DH'r.
