from ny Date Reviewed: October 25, 2009 Strengths: I'm a roadie who took the plunge into MTB. I did alot of research and demo'd quite a few bikes b/f I choose the Scott Scale 40. I wanted a hard tail xc bike that had discs a quality lock out fork w/ at least 100mm travel, decent components and was relatively light(yeah, still a roadie at heart)and most importantly is responsive and the scale 40 fit the bill and billfold - lol. So far, I couldn't be happier riding local single tracks and the bike has given me confidence to try up & downhills that I otherwise wouldn't attempt. Weaknesses: I find the oem grips too be uncomfortable - will swap them out. No biggie. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: bethpage/stillwell Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $950.00 Purchased At: craigslist Similar Products Used: Demoed fisher, trek, & giant. Bike Setup: 2008 white/red paint. Juicy 3.5 hyrdo brakes, fox 100mm, xt rear, lx front & crank, alex wheels and scott tires.

Frame is stiff, yet surprisingly comfortable for an oversized aluminum framed hardtail. Power transfer is outstanding on the short, power climbs and steep sections. Weaknesses: Paint chips easily--paper thin. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Fast, twisty singletrack Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $1500.00 Similar Products Used: Klein Attitude w/ full Shimano XT, Judy. Bike Setup: Stock with the exception of Thomson Masterpiece seatpost, Selle Italia Signo saddle.
