For This Bike
Aug 2022 · Dave Rome
A budget take on premium integration.
Looks nice, gravel-capable tyre clearance, frame will take a kicking.
Form before function with the integrated cabling, stiff ride quality, bad brakes, heavy, cabling not hidden at the back of the bike.

Scott’s budget endurance bike is a comfortable ride over choppy surfaces
Comfortable long distance ride on the 32mm tyres
Wide gear range for confident climbing
Good endurance position without being too laid back
Confident stopping from the disc brakes
Quite heavy
Mar 2019 · Robin Wilmott
Smart, solid and satisfying and, although not as fast as the name suggests, it’s a fine ride
Tidy looks, ride feel, specification and value
It’s not especially fast uphill
