I love this bike more than my full suspension Specialized Carbon Epic but back surgery is forcing me to get as soft as suspension as possible. 

It’s sticker shock of a different type; “all this only costs this much?” Yep. The Scott Scale 730/ 930 uses identical frame features to the World Cup and World Championship winning 700/900RC models, but with a more durable and economical HMF carbon layup. Champagne taste meets beer budget, and happiness ensues.

Tapered 1 1/8” to 1 1/2” headset, SDS (Shock Damping System) rear stays, IMP (Internal Mold Process) construction, and IDS-SL (Interchangeable Dropout System- Super Light) dropouts are all included. Front-end stiffness delivers pinpoint steering in technical singletrack, and resists twisting when out of the saddle and sprinting or climbing, due in large part to the oversized tapered headset. The IMP construction allows Scott’s carbon engineers to massive tweak layups and tube shapes for a perfectly tuned ride. This is perfectly highlighted by the SDS rear stays that deliver on the promise of rider comfort and increased traction. Scott’s innovative dropout system provides increased versatility and compatibility with numerous wheel systems as well. Available in either 27.5” or 29” wheel sizes, to suit virtually any size rider or riding style.

By blending a mix of Shimano XT, SLX, and Deore parts, the Scale 730/930 provides elite level performance for the every day rider. Shifting is light, crisp, precise, and eternally reliable without requiring nitpicky maintenance. Shimano’s M506 hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm front and 160mm rear rotors give you consistently impeccable stopping power, whether simply scrubbing speed or attempting to avoid certain doom. The SLX 38/24 crankset and 11-36 ten-speed cassette mean you can handle virtually any climb or descent with ease and speed!

A Fox 32 Float Evolution CTD Air fork is paired with the custom Scott RideLoc three-position remote fork lever. You control the 100mm of travel without having to take your hand off the handlebar. Syncros provides the bar, stem, seat, and seatpost- each part living up to the legendary Syncros reputation for durability. The wheelset is built with Syncros alloy rims, Shimano hubs, and DT Swiss Champion spokes, removing any need to worry when you’re bombing your favorite descent in the middle of nowhere. Schwalbe Rocket Ron tires keep you gripping when you’re ripping.

If you’re looking to upgrade your riding game without having to sell your car, or possibly a kidney, the Scott Scale 930 is your answer. With the incredible HMF carbon frame and excellent parts package, you’ll be living the dream and sleeping peacefully.
