Summary
The Scott Scale is a high-performance cross-country bike praised for its lightweight design, efficient power transfer, and race-proven geometry. It offers a fast, composed ride with well-thought-out details, though some models may lack advanced features like a dropper post or tubeless-ready tires.

It’s made me commit to corners in a new way, flow with the bike far more, and put in tiny bursts of extra power again and again where I’d have formerly freewheeled.
By cutting hardware weight in half, rerouting cables more efficiently, and minimizing individually-molded frame pieces, the 2023 Scott Scale RC sheds a lot of weight and introduces some clever new design features.
The Scott Scale 965 hardtail mountain bike may look conservative at first glimpse, but look closer and you'll find well-thought-out detail and race-proven geometry.

You'll have to wait for Dangerholm's official release of the bike for all the details, but I thought we'd share a quick look at this wild machine. .

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 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.

The Scale is a fast-paced XC hardtail with performance that reaches beyond the traditional racing remit
Light weight
Loaded-up spec
Fun, fast and agile
Impressive frame construction
Lack of dropper post limits scope
Very costly
