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.
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.

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.
