from HKG Date Reviewed: December 16, 2010 Strengths: Light at around 23 lbs with my Xpedo Utmost pedal. Lovely color and streamline frame especially the deraileur cables are hidden inside the frame, convenient torque preset seat tube clamp no worry to break carbon seat tube. Weaknesses: Decending need extra attention. Maybe my prevous F600 had a wide riser bar, I allow myself some more time to get use to the shorter flat bar. 185 mm front rotor is more than enough for such a light and racing position bike, watch out. The white grip turn dirty only after two ride and the stock saddle cannot compare with my long time friend Fizik Aliante XM. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $2800.00 Purchased At: Scott Concept Similar Products Used: Cannondale F600 Bike Setup: Stock. Only replace the SPD 520 pedal with Xpedo Utmost flat; Fizik Aliante XM saddle.

from Adeialde Date Reviewed: August 19, 2008 Strengths: Really fast and enjoyable to climb on this bike. I am not a great climber but went for the Scale 30 because it had a reputation as a climber. It was right. The fox fork is fantastic and takes in most bumps you go over. The carbon helps to smooth trails out. Weaknesses: Hasn't got the best components but they are upgradable over time. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Eagle Park Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $3200.00 Purchased At: Mitcham Cycles Similar Products Used: Giant ATX 880. Bike Setup: 2007 model. Stock, shortened stem and race face risers. Comp S Lite tyres but you should feel this thing when the trail allows you to run Larssons.

from harlan,in,usa Date Reviewed: June 28, 2008 Strengths: The bike is super light and fast. The acceleration out of corners is unbelivable. The geometry of the bike puts the rider in a position that is not only eggressive but comfortable. Weaknesses: Tire clearense in the back is a little issue. The bike comes with 2.25 widthe tire and in a muddy situation it is not enough room, but easy corectable with a 2.0 tire Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: wynona lake trail Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $2500.00 Purchased At: Fort Wayne Outfitter Similar Products Used: Cannondale rush Bike Setup: All you need is to convert it to tubeless tires and the bike is an animal
