delko Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Hi Guys. Can I get some advice on the Trek superfly 6 vs the Scott scale 950? I cant any nice reviews on these bikes. The superfly got a reba rockshock where as the scale got a fox fork . Any help would be appreciated. I am looking for a good quality light hardtail with decent components. Thank you . Delko
delko Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 Hi guys, Is there anyone who own either a superfly 6 or a scale 950? Which one should I go for?,Any opinions?
Odinson Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Go for the Trek Superfly - in my opinion it has better spec. Also, the RS Reba is a super reliable fork, that is cheap to service and find parts for. The FOX fork on the Scott is rubbish. The Trek seems to be the better thought out bike.
delko Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 Thank you for the reply . I quite like the trek , the colours and the general look of the bike. How does the frames compare in general if you dont mind me asking.
PoiZoNouZ Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I ride a Superfly 100AL, predecessor to the FS6, which is the soft tail version of what you are looking at. Not much beats the quality of Trek bikes, I love the brand. Have heard of lots of Scotts with cracked chainstays although mainly on the Spark.

Scott's are a different story, however. If it were my money, I'd get the Trek.

He's a fly weight and maintains his bike very well. Cracked the chainstay 6 weeks ago, still waiting for a replacement.
Bruce Taylor Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I have a FS8 great bike fairly light and solid, the trek bike does with a lifetime warrantee on the frame. Depends what you want to use the bike for I have the soft-tail and being fairly heavy find it a comfortable ride and fairly robust.In general both brands are premium brands and would suit most people well.
EmptyB Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Trek for sure, I've been riding Superfly (various models) for the past 5 years. Never had a days hassle.
