Switzerland is not exactly famous for low prices. At 6899 euros, the Scor 4060 LT GX is anything but cheap. But in terms of equipment, the subsidiary brand of BMC is taking an interesting path. The multi-adjustable Fox Factory suspension with golden Kashima coating would also look great on a 10,000 euro bike. On the other hand, Scor saves money elsewhere and installs parts that you don't tend to see on high-end enduro bikes. The DT Swiss wheelset is absolutely functional, but in relation to the suspension elements it is a few price categories lower. The gears on the Scor 4060 LT Carbon Enduro are shifted by the mechanical mid-range Sram GX Eagle groupset. Our BIKE price-performance comparison should reveal how well this equipment mix works in practice.
The Scor 4060 LT GX on test: how the carbon enduro rides
Scor could hardly have spent more on the suspension of the 4060 LT GX. The Fox 38 Factory fork and the Fox X2 shock are among the most expensive suspension elements a bike can carry. Just as well, because This investment pays off on the long-travel enduro bike. The large X2 shock in particular gives the rear end of the 4060 LT an impressive absorption capacity. Even on the roughest trail, the rear end literally sticks to the ground and greedily absorbs all obstacles.
Together with the strong Fox 38 fork, the sticky-soft Maxxis tyres at the front and the powerful Sram Code brakes, neither rock gardens nor steep gradients can scare the Scor Enduro. The extremely slack steering angle of 63.3 degrees also plays into the bike's hands. Over steep steps, the motto is: put your weight back and just keep going. In tight corners, the 4060 requires significantly more physical effort despite its compact chainstays and quickly loses ground to shorter, more reactive bikes.
The Scor 4060: Enduro with sensitive rear suspension
When seated, the Scor 4060 positions its rider comfortably in the centre between sporty and upright. Unfortunately, the lively rear suspension pumps noticeably uphill, and even the switchable platform is hardly able to calm it down. Although the total weight of less than 15 kilos remains within reasonable limits, the tyres are heavy and soft and roll slowly. As a result, the 4060 LT pulls very comfortably towards the summit. During our test, the bolts of the rear triangle loosened - unfortunately not the first time on the otherwise well-made Swiss bikes.

Conclusion on the test of the Scor 4060 LT GX
The well-equipped Scor 4060 prefers to ride in the fall line. The remarkably sensitive and high-traction rear triangle smooths out any enduro track, no matter how wild. On tight trails, however, the extremely flat Geo requires a lot of physical effort. - Peter Nilges, BIKE Test Manager
