from San Francisco CA USA Date Reviewed: August 14, 2009 Strengths: The faster you ride this bike the more it comes alive. It's favorite habitat is on fast swooping single track and tight technical terrain. The compact geometry and the stiffness of the frame make it a great climber and the handling is precise and crisp. Think float like butterfly sting like a bee. As I stated earlier this bike is made to go fast and on a good day with strong legs it inspires devotion and praise. Weaknesses: The rear triangle is super stiff and can cause loss of traction on out of the saddle climbs. XT brake calipers stick and squeal at times. The breaking in the rear sends a vibrating sensation up through the frame. Original aluminum seat post popped and pinged like crazy. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: blue blossom Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $2000.00 Bike Setup: Full XT drive train with xtr rear derailleur...Ritchey WCS Seat post and riser bars and wtb laser v saddle. XTR pedals.

from Hampshire UK Date Reviewed: March 20, 2007 Strengths: Speed, efficiency, ultra-lightness, outstandingly agile handling, surprisingly compliant ride. Must be the fastest frame out there for XC. Would be a good choice for long-distance XC endurance events. Weaknesses: None except the standard saddle, an XC bumbreaker replaced with a Gobi Nisene after the first ride. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Afan Argoed Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $2000.00 Purchased At: Pedal-On Similar Products Used: Was looking at building a Giant XTC carbon custom, but this on an end-of-year deal was just ridiculously good value. The 20 is only half a kilo heavier and lists much cheaper than the 10, so is probably the best value point in the range. Other bike is a custom Blur LT configured more for downhill. Bike Setup: Standard except for saddle, and Easton carbon riser bars to relax the riding position a tad. That means XT/XTR components, mavic wheels, Fox fork etc. Running Michelin XCR Mud tyres at the moment, fast for 'mud' tyres. Came with lightweight sticky-feeling tyres, not sure they'll take much of a hammering, see this summer.

from Melbourne, OZ Date Reviewed: August 15, 2005 Strengths: Crazy Light & stiff frame. No flex in the crank/bottom bracket area, gets max power to the back wheel. Very good component selection. Fox forks are superb. Very good looking bike. Weaknesses: The non replaceable mech hanger scares me a bit. Although I'm told that the built in mech hanger is substantially stronger than a replaceable one. Time will tell. This bike would look so much better if the Scott logos weren't so prominant, kinda OTT tacky for what is in essence a classy bike. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $2800.00 Similar Products Used: Giant XTC 2003 Specialized Rockhopper 2002 Bike Setup: Stock except for slick tyres, egg beaters and Lp bar ends.
