Scott Scale 24 rigid

The "Scale 24 rigid" model from Scott, released in 2022, offers solid and reliable features for young riders. Priced at 549 EUR, this bike is aimed at children and teenagers who need a robust and easy-to-handle bike. The bike’s frame is made from JR24 Rigid Disc, 6061 alloy with a semi-integrated head tube and SCOTT dropouts, ensuring stability and durability. The maximum rider weight is 50 kg, whilst the bike itself weighs just 10 kg, making it light and easy to manoeuvre.

The Scale 24 Rigid’s braking system consists of mechanical disc brakes from Tektro (SCM-02) with Tektro TS325A brake levers and 160 mm brake discs at the front and rear. These ensure safe and reliable braking performance. The gear system is a Shimano RD-TX800 Tourney with 8 speeds, controlled by a Shimano SL-RS45-8R Revo shifter, which allows for easy and precise gear selection.

The bike is fitted with a rigid AL-6061 fork, which also contributes to its robustness. The pedals are MARWI SP-700 with reflectors for added safety. The bottom bracket is a Feimin BB68 with a cartridge and square taper design. The crankset consists of a Prowheel aluminium crank, 140 mm in length, and a 32T chainring with a double cover (CG PVG double cover). The cassette is a SunRace CSM55 with 8 speeds and a 11–34T range, whilst the chain is a KMC Z8.3.

The handlebars are aluminium Junior Flat-Bar with a width of 560 mm, fitted with Syncros Youth 100/80 grips. The stem is a LEADTEC LCS-7130, 50 mm long with a 25.4 mm clamp. The headset is a Feimin FP-H807 with a semi-integrated design for 1 1/8" headtubes.

The rims are Alex C-1000 Disc models, and the tyres are Kenda K1227 Booster in size 24x2.4" with 30 TPI, which ensures good grip and stability. The hubs are Formula (DC-19-F at the front and DC-25-8-R at the rear) with quick-release (QR) mechanisms, and the spokes are black 15g UCP models. The saddle is a Syncros Future Pro, mounted on an aluminium seatpost with a diameter of 26.8 mm and a length of 300 mm. A handy kickstand is also included.

The bike’s gross weight is 15 g, which is likely a mistake in the specification. The model is available in one size only and is called the SCO Scale 24 rigid. Overall, the Scale 24 rigid from Scott offers a well-thought-out combination of high-quality components and a child-friendly design, ideal for young riders looking for a reliable and lightweight bike.
