The Scott Scale 40 Hardtail Mountain Bike - 2027 is a race-inspired cross-country bike built around a light alloy frame and modern trail-ready components. Its 110mm RockShox Reba fork adds control on rough ground, while the SRAM Eagle 12-speed drivetrain provides a wide gear range. Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, tubeless-ready Maxxis tyres and a Syncros dropper post complete a practical setup for fast XC riding.Key Features and Benefits:Low Impact Alloy Frame: The Scale alloy frame uses a tapered head tube, BB92 bottom bracket, UDH interface and Boost 12x148mm rear spacing. These modern standards create a solid platform for accurate handling and reliable drivetrain alignment. The race-inspired geometry also supports an efficient riding position for cross-country use.RockShox Reba RL Air Fork: The 110mm Reba RL uses an air spring with rebound adjustment and lockout, so its setup can be tuned to rider weight and terrain. The 15x110mm Boost axle adds stiffness at the front wheel. This gives more control over rough ground while allowing a firmer fork setting on smoother sections.SRAM Eagle S100 12-Speed Drivetrain: SRAM Eagle S100 shifting works with an S200 Transmission crankset, 32T chainring and 11-50T cassette. The wide gear range gives you easier ratios for steep climbs while retaining useful gears for faster ground. The 1x setup also keeps shifting simple by removing the need for a front derailleur.SCOTT RideLoc and Syncros Dropper Post: The RideLoc system controls the suspension and dropper from the handlebar, with two suspension modes available. This lets you adjust the fork and lower the saddle without moving your hands away from the controls. The result is quicker setup changes as the gradient and trail surface change.Shimano Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Shimano BR-MT200 2-piston brakes use a 180mm front rotor and 160mm rear rotor. Hydraulic operation gives smooth braking control with less hand effort than a cable system. The larger front rotor also adds braking support where most stopping force is generated.Maxxis Rekon Race Tubeless-Ready Tyres: The 29x2.4in Rekon Race tyres use a 60TPI casing, EXO protection and a tubeless-ready design. They are fitted to tubeless-ready Alex Rims X25 wheels, which allows a tubeless conversion with the correct valves and sealant. The wide 29in setup provides a stable contact patch while maintaining the fast-rolling character needed for cross-country riding.The Scale 40 is designed for riders who want efficient power transfer without giving up useful control on technical XC terrain. Its race-inspired geometry supports quick progress, while the 110mm fork, 29in tyres and dropper post make it easier to manage rough sections and changes in gradient. At around 13.3kg without pedals, it also keeps weight controlled for a fully equipped alloy hardtail.Choose the Scott Scale 40 if you want a modern hardtail that combines efficient cross-country handling with practical suspension, wide-range gearing and useful trail control.Size Guide:Bike Size - Recommended Height RangeXS - 160-163cmS - 163-172cmM - 168-180cmL - 177-187cmXL - 185-197cm
