Scott Scale 710 Plus review

Feb 2016 · Guy Kesteven

Scott’s Scale is impressively fast and light for a ‘plus’ bike but still loves blasting technical descents. Buy if you want the equivalent of a plus-sized whippet – but one that'll happily gobble up descents its skinnier relatives would think twice about

Highs
  • Enthusiastically responsive for a plus-size bike, far more impact-ignorant than a regular race hardtail, surefooted long-wheelbase handling, light parts suit ‘fast fatty’ character
