Strengths: Solid ride. Great climber. Love the traction control for the rear shock! I can adjust the rear suspension on the fly. For a race bike this is very comfortable and very durable. I've never had a problem with it.Weaknesses: Stand over height is a little high. Would like to have more room there. I replaced the tires pretty quickly.Bottom Line: Love this bike. Super light and solid, but rides smooth. I still stop and stare when I pass it in the garage.

Strengths: super responsive and always feels light, looks trick, rear shock adjustment 'on the fly', rides like a forgiving hardtailWeaknesses: had to replace the rear swingarm as cracked at shock pivot even when only used by sub 60kg rider. had to purchase pivot kit replacement after 1st yr too.Bottom Line: i loathe riding a bike that feels like a lounge suite so this bike is perfect. it feels like a hardtail but takes the harshness from the ride. (i do have the setting perfect to my weight and yes i do max the shock out when i ride hard) great XC / marathon bike. absolute necessity to have riser bars due to steep head angle. another huge bonus is that every 'full susser' creaks after 6mths, but the scott after 3 yrs is a completely silent bike!

Strengths: Light, climbs well, shock works well- when working, no short cuts on groupsetWeaknesses: Strength, heaps of non-std bits that you can't buy easily, no replaceable drop-out, flexy.Bottom Line: A very high performing bike that is let down buy its break ability. I don't mind replacing bits but when it takes 6 months to get parts its just not worth it. I ended up getting a warranty frame after the first one cracked in the head-tube after 1 year of riding, but it took 6 months for one to arrive. Shock service is a nightmare as you have to send it away. As stated before it really is a high performance bike but poor durability and poor service. As soon as I got the replacement I sold it and got a Giant Anthem, which performs as well but you can ride it hard, knowing you can break stuff and it can be fixed with a trip to the LBS.
Buy one if you want it to look cool in your garage but not if you want to race it.

Strengths: Rear shock works very well on off-road descending condition, it makes my knee comfortable from impact. 3 ways options of changing remote position is very helpful to switch from hard-tail mode to soft-tail.Weaknesses: Top tube too flat, i used to ride scott scale40. The different was that the latter was more inclined, that made it lighter when climbing the ascending route with obstacles.Bottom Line: The bike can function well, both as a hard-tail bike when ascending road and as a soft-tail one when descending off-road condition. Thus, it saves the energy of the riders.

Strengths: Pretty much all of it.
It rides quick, very little flex form my 230lbs frame.
Love the "on the fly" rear shock adjustment.
Awesome components.Weaknesses: Bars (Ritchie Carbon Rizer) are way too wide.
A S.O.B. to remove the seat post
Unable to replace the hanger.
The seat is awful
The rear shock air pressure is done in metric - but no where will it say so. - so make sure you have a shock pump that reads both.Bottom Line: I was skeptical on this bike. After 2 rides, I love it. It seems to accelerate much faster than my Specialized.
It took a little getting used to the SRAM X-0 shifters, but love them now.
It can be front-end light when you dial up the Fox Talus to full and start doing hills.
To be able to adjust the the rear shock form full float, med-float and then to lock out is awesome. A feature you will never know you need, till you try it once.
Absolutely a fantastic bike all-round, just have to wait and see if it can stand the test of time and how good Scott is about supporting their products.
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month

Bike Setup: So far the only change I have made is replace the Avid Carbon's for Shimanon XT-755 (4 piston)- much better modulation.
