What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I reach for the Scale RC Team Issue when efficiency and precision matter most. The carbon frame feels incredibly stiff under power, and the SRAM GX AXS Transmission shifts flawlessly even when you're pushing hard. It's light, responsive, and purpose-built for XC racing and marathon days where every second counts." When the clock is ticking and every pedal stroke matters, we trust the SCOTT Scale RC Team Issue Bike to deliver. Built around a lightweight carbon frame refined through decades of racing heritage, it accelerates instantly and rewards smooth, powerful riding. Whether we're lining up for an XC start loop or settling into a long marathon effort, the Scale RC feels fast, focused, and ready to perform. Up front, the RockShox SID SL Select fork adds controlled suspension to take the edge off technical sections without sacrificing efficiency. A wireless SRAM GX AXS Transmission drivetrain keeps shifting crisp and precise under load, while fast-rolling Maxxis Rekon Race tires maintain speed and traction across hardpack and loose terrain. The result is a modern hardtail that blends race-day urgency with trail-ready capability. Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive.
