$1000.00 | | Purchased At: | cyc vibes | | Strengths: | can handle any nearly all types of riding nice weight supurb handling great all round frame that shaped carbon use in bikes untill today gave u amazing confidence with no weight penalty which i havnt found since | | Weaknesses: | non disk compatibility:((except the arch rival v brakes were very good on it:))paint chipping but i could live with that because the paint job on my elite racing was a horrendous yellow and blue affair. gets stolen as i found out:( | | Similar Products Used: | scott project octain custom retro, kona cindercone 2007. scott | | Bike Setup: | lx group,scott components,mavic/lx wheels,scott rshock judy`s,avid arch,lowest in range but it was the frame that i wanted and everything else worked well | | Bottom Line: | i want one again if anyone hear`s of a frame let me know. id love to have 1 again it could cope with anything and would love to build 1 up with up to date components decent forks the only downfall was the lack of rear disk compatibility | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$800.00 | | Strengths: | Product is very strong, you can do with it whatever you want :) | | Weaknesses: | High saddle, your hands can hurt you after long riding. | | Bottom Line: | Everybody who likes riding a bike, especially in mountains should buy it. Now I own it, I really enjoy using it. It's not heavy, you can throw it like a small stone. If I made any mistakes its because of my nationality. I am 12 so I think my English is good for my age. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$500.00 | | Purchased At: | recycle | | Strengths: | Elevated combined Seat/Chain stays do actually flex under impact I would guess 1 inch movement, at first you think you have a flat tire!, capable of a 25lb build with xt/xtr mix | | Weaknesses: | the lacquer finish cracks where the rear stay flexes, purley cosmetic | | Similar Products Used: | Nothing to compare to - where else can you get a plastic bike from! THermo plastic mind you | | Bike Setup: | full XTR, Mantiou Mars, Mavic 217 Sunset, flite | | Bottom Line: | This bike is a keeper, sure to become a future classic, I sold mine to fund a dale, but for what I got for it I wish I had kept it!
although it has race geometry, it is comfy enough for epics- I did a 5 day 300mile off roader on mine! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

elevated chainstays work a bit like a fully | | Weaknesses: | varnish scratches easily, frame broke 1 time | | Bike Setup: | XTR/XT , 98'Judy SL, Mavix Ceramic, Flite | | Bottom Line: | Damn, this was the greatest bike ever to hit this boring planet! I bought it in 1996, the frame had a crack at that
"elevated chainstays" in 1998 - but i got a new one from scott without any problem! The feeling on this bike was great- in the alps I always was the first one on the top of the next mountain, single trails made addictive and you can be sure everyone sees you on that awesome rocket:).
Last week my bike has been stolen - the great optic seems to be a bit to attractive to the people in my neigborhood.
But nevertheless - I lost the love of my life. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$750.00 | | Purchased At: | Ebay | | Strengths: | Very Light, Deceptively Strudy. You don't expect a bike as light and unuaslly shaped to be so tough! | | Weaknesses: | Paint chips easily around bottle holder holes and other points of contact. | | Similar Products Used: | Trek 7000, GT Karakorum | | Bike Setup: | LX drivetrain, Scott Thermocarbon bar with integrated bar ends, Rickey stem, Orange Manitou SX-R, Spinergy Rev X Wheels. This bike looks amazing and performs even better than it looks. | | Bottom Line: | I got a great deal from a guy who paid $3000 for this bike. It's the Scott Carbon Fiber Race bike with the unusual rear triangle. The bike is super light, super sturdy, and a real head-turner, with Spinergy X Wheels. Carbon fiber RULES!! I love the way the bike looks...it's not boring like most hardtails out there...but it doesn't try to be different to the point of being gay. You can email me for a pic. Please don't hesitate to buy this bike if the opportunity presents itself for a reasonable price. I paid $750, but mine came with $800 wheels...so check around. Good luck! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: October 20, 2000 | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Strengths: | black -> nice design | | Weaknesses: | very bad rigity, flexes a lot under pressure, too heavy for its purpose, but above all: WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER SEEN!!!!!! | | Bike Setup: | Z1 BAM, Race Face, XTR, XT, Kore, ClubRoost | | Bottom Line: | frame is very unstable, it broke under strange circumstances. but not enough, SCOTT refused to replace the frame cause they told me that there's just a damage of the outside layer. VERY VERY BAD! how can such a company handle customer claims this way. I mean this should be a high end frame for racing purposes. It's very expensive, so I expect a much better service. 1 Chili for the bike, and zero chilies for SCOTT. never buy such a low quality prodct! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

The Scott Endorphin is by far the best compromise for fast climbs and even faster downhills. With the Z1 fork it became the ultimate single trail weapon. So if you don't want to waste your power buy it!!!! This bike rules. My tip: add some very fat tires, like IRC Missile or Panaracer Magic. | | Overall Rating: |

BELIEVE OR NOT I BOUGHT MY 1998 SCOTT ENDORPHIN FRAMESET TO REPLACE MY PREVIOUS 3 YEARS OLD TREK Y-22 FULL SUSP. BIKE, AND IM LOVING THE SCOTT, SHE IS MORE THAN A HARDTAIL, SHE HAVE SOMETHING MAGIC IN THE REAR SWINGARM. EVERYTHING FOR ME AT THE TECNICAL LEVEL HAS IMPROVED, ITS CRAZY BUT MY NEW HARDTAIL IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE FAMOUS TREK Y FULLS SUSP. SHE CLIMBS LIKE A ROCKET, SHE COMES DOW BETTER THAN THE Y (WITHOUT A SHOCK, I THINK BECAUSE MY BETTER SUITED RIDING POSITION 73 DEGREES SEAT ANGLE...), IS LIGHTER AND MORE AND MORE AND MORE AND MORE. MY ONLY CONCERN IS ABOUT THE FRAME STICKERS IN MY CASE THEY ARE CRACKING IN A LOT OF POINTS (THE 1998 RACE FLAGS PATTERNS.) AND I NEED TO PUT PLASTIC CONTACT PAPER IN THE FRAME TO PROTECT THE APPEARENCE. I HOPE SCOTT GIVE ME AN EXPLANATION.... | | Overall Rating: |

What a frame, what a bike! Everything is just great on this rig, though u could change the default tyres. Awesome optics. If you are for XC biking (the real biking u know, not those lazy downhillers who get exhausted at the slightest hills), then u will not find any better bike: light, but not nervous.
And, the 98 edition is even better! go get it... | | Overall Rating: |

It was love on first sight! The frame looks awesome cool! I am riding the bike now for about one year, and have no complains at all. It climbs good, it's stable downhill and the components work like they should. I never missed a single shift on the front gearset, what happened frequently with my old XT group. The only minus is, that the XTR96 front derailleur does not fit on the frame, you have to use the old XTR95 model. And you should add some protection on the frame, because the chain does considerable damage to the frame when swinging on downhills. | | Overall Rating: |

this is really good shit,it loooks like hell but works very good,first time i saw it i thought it would break on the first race but after
several crashes and big jumps i have to change my mind. When i was hit by a car really hard and flew about 5meters was the only
thing that break the xtr crank on left side,and i got a new crank from the insurance and the cardriver had to pay money to the police.
xtr-96 group is great,rock-shox judy sl works pretty good but i think that the new marzochi forks is better. | | Overall Rating: |
