2022 SCOTT SCALE 940 (FULL CARBON HARDTAIL) *$2300*

[@huyfamily9500]

This video was really helpful to me. During the COVID bike shortage times, came upon a Scott Scale 930 in my size at a local bike shop. Decided to scoop it out right there and then after watching this video. Since then, impressed with the carbon frame, the ride and its value-for-money. Thanks GC Performance!

[@GCPerformance18]

Thanks so mcuh!! I really appreciate it!!

That’s tough this step up to Carbon with the Chisel out there and I like Scott. 1600 vs 2300 similar equipment and near same weight. That leaves $700 to insta upgrade nice things. $200 XT or GX shifter Derailleur, 150 Carbon bars, 150 seat post. Still have 300 left. Could drop 2.25 pounds put that towards Sid SL fork. Race bike activated. I like this bike and shopped it against several Carbon bikes and chisel to race Leadville on. It’s hard to spend an extra amount and not get much more out of it. Same build just that much more for carbon frame that may weig just a tad bit less. I love your videos though. My Chisel weighs in at 22.16 pound with full seat bag, Garmin pedals, and Silca Ti bottle cages.

[@marclayman8799]

I bought last years model, exact same bike and components for $16xx. Agree with you $600 price increase is too much for the equipment offered

[@NiohNiohYT]

But Chisel is alu alloy and this is carbon? Carbon frame is worth more than any parts upgrade any day imo

[@CedricEA]

Scott Scale 940 on our local shop is on sale right now, $1,599 buying one tomorrow

[@GCPerformance18]

this is a great entry level carbon bike for someone who wants to dabble in the carbon mountain bike scene

[@cedric2246]

Can you make a comparison on Scott speedster 20 and specialized sprint hehe

[@chefgav1]

On the expensive side for an entry level carbon

[@bubby372]

That would do fine around here on the single track. Nice bike considering today's bike prices.

[@bebopman5]

On the surface, this is a sweet deal. But the Cannondale Scapel HT Carbon 4 blows the doors off this in terms of value. For $100 less, you get a carbon frame, a 1x12 XT/Deore drivetrain and a SID fork.

[@elvzwoods]

I was looking for a bargain XC hardtail (closeouts) so I went cruising a bunch of shops in the Phoenix area pretty much striking out. The last shop which really caters to the road crowd had this hangin in the window, I jokingly offered $1200, he firmly said "NO!" I thought, "bro cant take a joke" just as he came back with, "I'll take $1500 out the door."..Deal, done! Way better ride than my 20 year old Giant Ranier!

[@adamconquest6045]

Great looking bike and value.... definitely option for my young son 👍

[@liquidSpin]

When I see a hard tail weighing 27+lbs I realize how good I have it with my full suspension mountain bike. With 150mm front & rear travel with dropper my bike comes in at 25 lbs. I never imagined I’d have a trail MTB weighing less than a carbon hard tail!

[@kylej7593]

what bike do you have?

[@liquidSpin]

@@kylej7593 Scott Genius 👍🏻

[@mychannelforfun5523]

@@liquidSpin Which Scott Genius? I looked on the website and the most expensive one comes in at 28.55lbs (with tubes) and the rest are heavier.

[@liquidSpin]

@@mychannelforfun5523 I own the Scott Genius 710 model from 2017. My model is no longer listed nor is it stock. I’ll link the video of my bike when I get home of my bike being weighed at my local bike shop so you can see. But yeah, wider rims + wider tires + beefier forks all add more weight to modern bikes these days.

Don't ride mountain bikes but like watching your videos.

[@derekfreeman9359]

Scott makes great value for their equipment

[@gislasson]

cool bike even for a guy like me that donesent like mtb but the equipment from factory the paint job on it its very very cool great video and for that equipment for that price a carbon frame bike also air suspension its some good deal ! great video keep on pushing gc performance cheers from venezuela

Brilliant video review

Thank you so much

[@cestmoi6029]

That’s awesome value for the money. 👏👍very capable entry level MTB indeed

Clicks on all your vids to show my support bro, love your stuff

[@marclayman8799]

Great video! I own the 21' version which is exact same spec. Only upgrade so far is Pirelli Scorpion XC RC 2.2 tires, running tubeless. How would you upgrade this bike, I am not a fan of the fork and drivetrain comes out of adjustment quickly.

[@Jacob99174]

Another excellent review, not a bad bike at all

[@jesuscruz836]

For $2300 it's a great deal. Nothing you 'have' to upgrade if you didn't just want to.

[@bulutbulut353]

It looks perfect and impressive. Also solid. But I don't understand why the company don't place the scott logo under the frame?

[@GCPerformance18]

idk maybe they wanted more minimalistic version

[@charliedillon1400]

My 2004 Specialized FSR Pro has 100mm travel front AND rear and weighs 28 lbs.

My Alu Hardtail for about 1800 USD weights in size large 11.7 kg - XT drivetrain

[@KingofStreet3]

Hmmm debating on this bike. Found one up for grabs at $1400. But not sure if it’s this one or a lesser model, it’s carbon tho with fox 32 step cast shocks.

[@JC-pt2tw]

Scott does it all!

[@patrickpunzalan1622]

I have a 2021 Kona Mahuna, how much of an upgrade with this be? The weight seems to be the same

[@velomaniaromania]

Planning to buy one this season to upgrade my ride 😇

[@kevinhanna6112]

I bought a Scott RC Team - Scott is value for money 💰

[@Hollaendaren]

It looks nice but that seems a bit heavy for a carbon bike, it weighs the same as my similarly speced XL aluminium bike that cost about half.

[@GokkunGuru]

I would buy the frame and upgrade all the components to higher end light weight stuff.

[@andypaul999]

just buy the 920

[@DaM.1]

I rode a 2021 model. It's a good bike for climbing. The only thing holding this bike back is the fork

[@ThavisWekelijkseVideos]

100% agreed. I’m riding the 2021 model as well and am currently looking to replace the fork! The stock one is too stiff even when enabled..

[@marclayman8799]

@@ThavisWekelijkseVideos this! same bike same issues

[@marclayman8799]

agreed! own the 21 940. Judy is terrible! I need to upgrade it. Running pirelli scorpian xc rc 2.2 tubeless

Is this better then Norco 2? I seen bike shop wish I got this instead but oh well

[@ganeshgayakawad7337]

Hi, What’s your opinion on Scott Scale 940 vs Trek Procaliber 9.6 ? Quality difference since Scott scales 940,930 are made in Cambodia and Treks carbon are made in Taiwan… Scott scale has better geometry frame with comfort in mind Please let me know your thoughts

[@phenofinder9145]

Trek

[@arcenaljohntimothy]

My aluminum bike weigh around 11.5 kg with only $1,300... I wonder if I should go carbon...

[@kingpluto8857]

Carbon hardtail kinda worries me. I have a few mates who have broken their carbon stays

[@manolos8230]

I seen this at a bike shop is it good?

[@marclayman8799]

2021 Model has boost rear, not quick release.

[@endeavour5316]

Would love to have this, lower pricepoint so u dont have to be too concerned to lay it down

[@379hay5]

What do you think? Cannondale scalpel ht 4 or Scott scale 930? Both have same components

[@GCPerformance18]

not a fan of cannondale that much I prefer scott mtb, but I am biased lol

[@timcanter6425]

Can you help a brother with a Specialized Serial Number? I need a derailleur hanger for a Allez.

[@GokkunGuru]

That’s a pretty heavy XC race bike.

[@kylej7593]

forgive me for my impatience, but how much did it weigh again?

[@tarpontime7562]

Crazy to see 2.5 tires on XC bikes. 2.0s are gonna be obsolete soon. 😢

2.0 is a gravel tire

[@kevinadams1049]

NOPE! Last years bike for $1700 was sackwy the same bike , And the Aluminm 950 out of the box is lighter than this because it comes with Fox 32 which is 1 pound lighter than that no good rockshox judy silver . The AL 950 also comes with shimano microspline Deore with XT deraileur which is better than that no good Sram SX-NX . And the fox 32 has 3 position remote lockout . The Aluminum 950 with a SID sl-rl , a lighetr cassete and crankset and thunder burts weighs 24 pounds with pedals and cages - LIGHTER than the CF scale 920 . A Steel Norco Search is as light as a scott addict gravel . STEEL!

[@marclayman8799]

Agreed, I bought 21' Scale 940 for $1600.00. Like the bike but would not pay $2300 for the spec. Its heavy and the Judy is terrible.
