The long reach, steep seat angle and short stem place the rider in a compact, central but propulsion-orientated position in the saddle. The rear end hardly bobs even when pedalling. Only Canyon and Scott climb more efficiently. However, the combination of a long main frame, short stem and short rear end means that the front end rises early. This requires some skill on technical key sections. On the other hand, the rear suspension is always well positioned in its travel and generates great traction. Even downhill, it takes a while to get used to the special handling of the 4060 ST has become accustomed to. Here too, the front frame triangle appears disproportionately long compared to the rear. On the one hand, this allows high speeds and conveys a lot of confidence. On the other hand, the bike needs to be ridden actively over the front wheel in order to generate enough traction or to manoeuvre around tight bends. Passive riders will not be happy here. Suspension: The rear suspension is traction-strong, plush and feels like it has significantly more travel than specified. The Rock-shox Lyrik fork in the favourable Select version can't keep up, especially on fast hits, and tarnishes the overall impression.
Conclusion on the Scor 4060 ST NX Max Fuchs, BIKE test editor:
"The Scor 4060 ST offers great potential for downhill fun with the right riding skills. However, the equipment, especially the fork, is very weak compared to the price."
Technical data and evaluation of the Scor 4060 ST NX:
Grading: The BIKE judgement is made up of the subjective impressions of the test riders and our laboratory measurements. The judgement is independent of price. Range of grades: very good (0.5-1.5), good (1.6-2.5), satisfactory (2.6-3.5), sufficient (3.6-4.5), poor (4.6-5.5).
