Scott Contessa Scale 940

The "Contessa Scale 940" model from Scott, released in 2023, is a high-quality mountain bike designed specifically for discerning female riders. Featuring a lightweight yet robust aluminium frame, this bike offers an excellent balance between weight and stability. The frame features an attractive colour scheme and is tailored to the specific needs of women.

The Contessa Scale 940 is fitted with a RockShox Judy Silver TK Solo Air suspension fork with 100 mm of travel, which ensures comfortable damping and control on rough terrain. The fork is also fitted with a remote lockout function, which allows the suspension to be locked out when required, thereby increasing efficiency on flat sections.

For gear changes, the bike comes with a Shimano Deore 1x12 drivetrain, which ensures precise and reliable gear changes. This configuration offers a wide range of gear ratios, suitable for both steep climbs and fast descents. The hydraulic Shimano MT201 disc brakes provide powerful and controlled braking performance in all conditions.

The Contessa Scale 940’s wheelset consists of Syncros X-25 rims fitted with Maxxis Rekon tyres in size 29 x 2.4 inches. This combination offers excellent traction and stability on a variety of surfaces. The tyres are also tubeless-ready, allowing for conversion to tubeless systems and thus reducing the risk of punctures.

Components such as the Syncros 3.0 handlebars, the Syncros 3.0 stem and the Syncros 3.0 seatpost contribute to a comfortable and ergonomic riding position. The Syncros Savona 2.5 V-Concept saddle is specifically designed to suit the female anatomy and offers additional comfort on long rides.

Overall, the Scott Contessa Scale 940 is a well-equipped mountain bike that stands out thanks to its high-quality components and well-thought-out design. It is ideal for female riders looking for a reliable and high-performance bike for challenging trails.
