This bike has the same features found on higher-end bikes all on a platform that's easy to upgrade down the line. The Scale 940 comes fitted with tubeless-ready Syncros wheels with wider Boost148 hubs for increased wheel strength and better tyre clearance, and the sleek internal cable routing gives you clean looks, protects your cables and makes it easy to upgrade to a dropper post for even more capability. The RockShox Judy Silver TK Solo Air has 100mm travel, rebound adjust, remote lockout and can be tuned to the rider’s weight, and it’s much higher quality than what you’d normally get on an MTB at this price. Overall, the Scott Scale 940 is a great cross-country mountain bike at a great value, that you won’t immediately outgrow as your skills advance.
