A budget take on premium integration.

Highs

Lows
  • Form before function with the integrated cabling, stiff ride quality, bad brakes, heavy, cabling not hidden at the back of the bike.

Scott Contessa Speedster Gravel 25 review

Feb 2019

The Scott Contessa Speedster Gravel 25 is a gravel bike is really more of an all-round road bike than an adventurer. If you are looking for a reliable commuter with added comfort from the large diameter tyres and the ability to explore gravel tracks at the weekend then the Speedster Gravel will do just fine. If adventure is in your blood, there are better options out there.
