The Scott Scale 920 is an elite-level hardtail that brings the high-performance feel of a carbon race bike to a more accessible platform. Engineered with Scott’s HMF Carbon fibre, the frame is designed to be incredibly lightweight while maintaining a high degree of lateral stiffness for explosive accelerations. This latest generation of the Scale platform features an updated geometry inspired by top-tier World Cup racing, utilizing a slacker head angle and 110mm of front travel to provide significantly more confidence on technical, modern cross-country descents without losing its legendary climbing prowess.
This model prioritizes reliable, high-performance mechanical shifting with a full Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain, offering a wide gear range that ensures you have the right cadence for everything from punchy climbs to high-speed fire road sections. The RockShox Judy Air fork provides 110mm of smooth, adjustable suspension to soak up trail chatter, while the Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes offer precise, one-finger stopping power. Rolling on tubeless-ready Alex X-25 rims paired with high-volume Maxxis Rekon Race tires, the Scale 920 is a fast-rolling, trail-ready machine that balances carbon efficiency with rugged durability.

Key Technologies
HMF Carbon Fiber: Scott’s High Modulus Female (HMF) carbon fiber layup is used to maximize strength and durability while maintaining a low weight. It is engineered to provide the optimal balance of stiffness for power transfer and compliance for rider comfort.
110mm XC Geometry: Unlike traditional hardtails that often stick to 100mm, this Scale is optimized for 110mm of fork travel. This extra cushion, combined with a slacker head tube angle, makes the bike much more capable on the steep, "new-school" XC tracks found in modern racing.
Syncros Cable Integration (CIS): By routing the cables through the stem and headset, the Scale 920 achieves a remarkably clean look. This not only improves aerodynamics slightly but also keeps the cables out of harm's way and makes mounting number plates or handlebar bags much easier.
Maxxis Rekon Race Tires: These tires feature a low-profile tread design that excels on dry, fast XC trails. The high-volume 2.4" casing allows you to run lower pressures for increased traction and a smoother ride over roots and rocks.
