Summary
The Scott Scale is a highly regarded cross-country bike, praised for its lightweight design, efficient climbing, and race-ready performance. It offers a versatile platform suitable for both beginners and aspiring racers, with models featuring aggressive, race-inspired designs and tubeless-ready wheels. The bike's suspension, particularly the Fox 32 Float Rhythm fork, is noted for its supple off-the-top performance and grip. However, some models may lack confidence in technical terrain, and the tires can be less effective in wet conditions.

Modern gravel bikes are becoming so capable that they’re starting to resemble 90’s mountain bikes. But would it really be such a bad thing?

The top-end HMX-SL frame sheds 22 grams compared to the outgoing model, to achieve a claimed weight of 847 g.
Dec 2022 · Tyler Benedict
The new Scott Scale HMX SL sheds as many metal inserts and parts as possible to save grams, and reinvents how a frame is made in the process.
