Scott Scale RC 600

The "Scale RC 600" model from Scott, released in 2021, is a high-quality mountain bike that stands out thanks to its carefully selected components and its light weight of just 9 kg. The bike’s frame is made from JR26 Rigid Disc Light, constructed from a robust 6061 aluminium alloy with a curved top tube and a semi-integrated head tube. The frame is also fitted with SCOTT dropouts and IS standards.

The braking system utilises the Shimano BR-MT500 system, complemented by Shimano BL-MT501 brake levers and a front Shimano SM-RT66 brake disc with a diameter of 160 mm. The drivetrain consists of a Shimano Deore RD-M5100 11-speed rear derailleur, controlled via the Shimano Deore SL-M5100-R shifter. The bike thus offers a precise and reliable gear-changing experience.

The Scale RC 600’s fork is a rigid AL-6061 fork with a 1 1/8" steerer tube and IS standards. The pedals are MARWI SP-700 models, fitted with reflectors. The bottom bracket is a Feimin BB68 cartridge with a square taper. The crankset consists of a Prowheel BOOM-32P with 152 mm crank arms and a 32T aluminium chainring, fitted with a PVC chain guard.

The cassette is a SunRace CSMX8 model, offering an 11-speed range from 11 to 42 teeth. Power is transmitted via a KMC X11EL chain. The handlebars are Premetec 6019F flat bars, 580 mm wide with a 25.4 mm clamp, fitted with Syncros Youth 100 grips. The stem is a LEADTEC LCS-7091 model, 50 mm in length and also with a 25.4 mm clamp. The headset consists of a Feimin FP-H809, fitted with sealed bearings.

The rims are Alexrims MD19 Disc models, fitted with Schwalbe Rocket Ron Evolution ADDIX Speed tyres in size 26x2.3". These tyres offer high traction and speed on a wide variety of surfaces. The hubs are by Formula: the DC-140-F model at the front with a quick-release system and the DC-38-R model at the rear, also with a quick-release system. The spokes are 15G gauge, black and uncoated.

The bike’s saddle is a Syncros Future Pro, mounted on an Alloy 2014 seatpost with a diameter of 27.2 mm and a length of 300 mm without offset. The Scott Scale RC 600 is priced at EUR 899 and offers excellent value for money for ambitious young mountain bikers.
