Summary
The Scott Speedster gravel bike series is praised for its comfortable ride quality, versatile performance on various surfaces, and well-thought-out design, making it suitable for long-distance explores and commuting. However, its weight and mechanical disc brakes are noted as drawbacks, affecting climbing efficiency and stopping power. The bike's stable geometry and modern spec, including wide tyre clearances, are frequently highlighted as strengths.
Comfortable long distance ride
Stable geometry with no handling surprises
Modern spec with wide clearances for wide tyres
Good endurance position
Option to fit mudguards
Quite heavy
Mechanical disc brakes less effective than hydraulic
Slower climbing due to weight
Alloy frame doesn't offer the smoothest ride
Like a kid named Butch, the Scott Speedster has a name that was always going to be difficult to live up to.

Scott has a long history of working with aluminium alloy and carbon fibre, so it’s not really surprising that the company uses both materials for its cyclocross bikes. At one end of the spectrum, there is the cost-conscious Speedster CX that has an alloy frame, and at the other, there is the weight-conscious Addict CX […]
