The 2021 "Speedster 10" model from Scott is a road bike that stands out for its high-quality components and excellent value for money. Priced at €1,099, the bike offers a wide range of technical features that will appeal to both beginners and more experienced riders.

The Speedster 10’s frame is made from 6061 D.Butted Alloy and features an endurance geometry designed for longer rides. The integrated control unit and internal cable routing contribute to a clean, uncluttered appearance and protect the cables from external influences. The bike’s total weight is 9 kg, making it a lightweight and agile companion on the road.

Braking performance is provided by Tektro SCBR-526 brakes with cartridge pads, which offer reliable deceleration and control. The gear system consists of Shimano 105 components: the front derailleur and rear derailleur (FD-R7000 and RD-R7000-GS), as well as the shift levers (ST-R7000), enable precise and rapid gear changes. In total, the rider has 22 gears at their disposal, offering a wide range of gear ratios for various terrains.

The Speedster 10’s fork is made of carbon and features a tapered steerer tube (1 1/8"–1 1/4"), which increases stiffness and improves handling. The bottom bracket is a Shimano BB-RS500-PB, whilst the crankset consists of a Shimano FC-RS510 Black Hyperdrive with 50x34 teeth. The cassette is a Shimano CS-R7000 with 11–32 teeth, allowing for finely graduated gear selection. Power is transmitted via a KMC X11 chain.

The handlebars are Syncros Creston 2.0 Compact with a diameter of 31.8 mm, and the stem is a Syncros RR2.0 with four bolts. The integrated steel headset ensures a stable connection between the frame and the fork. The wheelsets consist of Syncros Race 24 rims (24 spokes at the front, 28 at the rear) and are fitted with Schwalbe Lugano tyres in size 700x28C. The hubs are Formula Team models (24-hole front, 28-hole rear) and the spokes are black SHA-DAR with a diameter of 2 mm.

The saddle is a Syncros Tofino Regular 2.5, mounted on a Syncros RR2.5 seatpost measuring 27.2/350 mm. This combination ensures comfort and stability whilst riding.

In summary, the 2021 Scott Speedster 10 offers a balanced blend of performance, comfort and reliability at a fair price. It is ideal for riders looking for a lightweight, well-equipped road bike that is suitable for both training rides and longer tours.
