The new lighter Scott Scale goes a long way toward defining what the company is all about: racing — and winning. - Mtbr.com

Scott’s Scale is impressively fast and light for a ‘plus’ bike but still loves blasting technical descents. Buy if you want the equivalent of a plus-sized whippet – but one that'll happily gobble up descents its skinnier relatives would think twice about
Enthusiastically responsive for a plus-size bike, far more impact-ignorant than a regular race hardtail, surefooted long-wheelbase handling, light parts suit ‘fast fatty’ character
More stubborn acceleration and low-speed handling than a trad xc racer, pricey for a gx bike

We’ve had a ball riding this thing, one of the few bikes that actually makes you laugh out loud as you blast about the trails with a grin on your face, so forgive us is we repeat ourselves here, we may be using the word ‘fun’ quite a bit. What’s Plus? In a nutshell it’s …
A fun loving hardtail.
SO MUCH TRACTION.
Beautiful frame.
Needs tubeless tyres and a dropper post badly.
Not amazing value.

If you are looking for every bit of efficiency that you can get from a hardtail...

The Scott Scale 710 Plus is one of the Swiss company's first forays into the world of plus size wheels. Find out how it coped here
Short stems, rangy cockpits and trail-focused geometry put the Scale 710 Plus on point. Climbing traction is simply off the scale (sorry!).
Punctures spoil the fun and at this price you really should get a dropper post.
