The 2021 Scott Sub Sport 30 Men is a versatile bike that stands out for its robust construction and high-quality components. The frame is made from Sub Sport 6061 TIG-welded aluminium, giving the bike a solid and durable structure. Weighing 18 kg, this model falls within the mid-range and offers a good balance between stability and manoeuvrability.

The braking system comprises Shimano BR-M200 brakes and Shimano BL-M200 brake levers, which ensure reliable and effective braking. The gear system comprises a Shimano Alivio RD T4000 9-speed rear derailleur, combined with Shimano Altus SL-M2000 shift levers and a Shimano Altus FD-M371 front derailleur. This gives the rider a total of 27 gears, allowing for flexible adaptation to different riding conditions.

The Suntour NEX-HLO-DS PM 700C fork, with 63 mm of travel and a hydraulic lockout, provides comfortable suspension and enhances riding comfort on uneven terrain. Lighting is provided by the Axa Compactline 35 front light and an Axa rear light, which ensure good visibility and safety on the road.

Further features include Syncros SP-827 pedals, a VP-BC73C bottom bracket and a Shimano Altus FC-T371 crankset with 48x38x26T chainrings. The cassette is a Shimano CS-HG200-9 with 11-34T, and the drivetrain is powered by a KMC X9 chain.

The handlebars are Syncros 3.0, 680 mm wide with a 10° bend, whilst the Syncros UC3.0 stem is adjustable. The headset is GW semi-integrated, which contributes to stability and steering precision. The rims are X15 Disc with 32 spoke holes, combined with Schwalbe Road Cruiser tyres in size 700x47c, which provide good grip and comfort.

The hubs consist of a Shimano Deore DH-3D37 dynamo hub at the front and a Shimano FH-TX50 hub at the rear, both featuring Centre Lock and 32 spoke holes. The spokes are made from Pillar Steel 14G, which offers additional stability. The saddle is a Selle Royal Essenza, mounted on a Syncros UC3.0 seatpost with a diameter of 31.6 mm.

Other accessories include Curana extruded wide mudguards, an Ursus Mooi kickstand and a Racktime Standit luggage rack with a spring clamp, making the bike suitable for everyday use.
