Scott Scale RC World Cup Bike

Scott Scale RC World Cup Bike Info

The Scott Scale RC World Cup is an elite cross country bike that seamlessly blends low weight with incredible stiffness. Scott’s decades of carbon manufacturing experience allowed them to make this hardtail machine that can compete at the highest level. They wanted to create a simple and straightforward bike that simply focuses on performance with the new Scale. This resulted in an aggressive bike that is faster than ever. Lightweight zones and stiffness zones were targeted to create the perfect balance of weight and speed. The Scott Scale RC is simply one of the fastest cross country bikes out there.

The frame of the Scale is made with monocoque carbon fiber construction to keep the weight low and stiffness high. The use of one mold for the main triangle of the bike results in better stiffness and more efficiency thanks to the continuity of the carbon. High modulus and ultra-high modulus carbon is used in targeted areas for the best possible power transfer. Overall, this frame weighs in at just 912 grams, cutting 57 grams off the already incredibly lightweight previous model. Despite such a heavy focus on stiffness and weight, the carbon has targeted flexibility in certain areas to maintain compliance. Compliance is also added with the help of a RockShox SID SL Ultimate 3P Air Fork with 110mm of front travel, adding a bit more compliance than the previous model. The Scale RC is one of the lightest and stiffest cross country bikes on the market.

The Scott Scale RC offers a geometry for the highest level of performance. It focuses on position and handling. When creating the frame, Scott considered a wide range of riders and course profiles so every rider can feel fast on every course. Scott-SRAM Racing athletes like Nino Schurter and Kate Courtney offered their input to help make this a true professional’s bike. The geometry was based around the championship-winning Scott Spark but adjusted to suit a hardtail, resulting in pure speed and impeccable handling.

Small details are what really make the Scott Scale RC unique. A hollow dropout construction shaves off more weight and allows for the use of a lighter rear triangle. Both the brake mount and chain guide have been simplified to shave off more weight without harming function. This version is equipped with a SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS Transmission for elite 12-speed MTB-specific electronic shifting. Maintenance is easier than ever with a service door that allows you to access the interior without removing the bottom bracket. At the front you will find a Syncros Frasier iC Combo which is sleek, convenient, and completely integrated for internal cable routing or mounting options. The Scott Scale RC World Cup thrives at the highest level of cycling.
