Speedster Gravel 40

The 2027 Scott Speedster Gravel 40 brings modern 1x shifting simplicity and off-road versatility to Scott's alloy gravel family. Built around a double-butted 6061 aluminium frame paired with an Addict HMF Carbon fork, this build strikes a sweet spot between all-day endurance comfort and rugged trail durability. Featuring a eye-catching "Peach Pink" colourway, a Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH), and fully internal cable routing, it delivers a sleek profile alongside standard modern frame compatibility.

For 2027, the Speedster Gravel 40 adopts a Shimano CUES 1x10 drivetrain, replacing multi-chainring setups with a single 40T chainring and an expansive 11-48T LinkGlide cassette. Paired with Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, high-volume Schwalbe G-One RX 700x45C tires, and dedicated fender mounts, this bike is built for everything from high-speed gravel loops to all-weather adventure commuting.

Key Highlights

• Shimano CUES 1x10 Drivetrain: Swapping traditional front derailleurs for a single-ring setup gives you a simple, intuitive 11-48T gear range. Shimano's LinkGlide teeth ensure smooth shifts under load and significantly improve chain/sprocket longevity.

• Addict HMF Carbon Fork: Equipped with an eccentric carbon steerer and integrated accessory rivet nuts, the carbon fork dampens harsh road vibrations while allowing you to bolt on extra bottle cages or cargo gear.

• Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH): Built around the UDH standard, replacing damaged rear derailleur hangers on remote bikepacking trips is straightforward.

• Plush 45c Schwalbe Rubber: High-volume 45mm Schwalbe G-One RX tires provide cushion over loose gravel and rough fire roads while maintaining low rolling resistance on paved sections.

• Fully Internal Cable Routing: Shift and brake lines route directly into the headset and down tube, presenting a clean cockpit that eliminates interference with frame bags.
