2025 SCOTT SCALE GRAVEL 10 (UNBOXING/ASSEMBLING)

[@SuperRobbro]

Where are those curly bars?

[@RakvereHawaiiExpress]

@@SuperRobbro No curly bars. It's basically rigid fork mountain bike...no suspension and 2,4 wide tires and 1x12 speed mountain bike gear range. I myself wouldn't call it gravel.

That is a size large but the stem looks to be a 90mm. On their website it states a large comes with a 70mm stem. What is going on?

@@johnlesoudeur3653 You are right, it's 90mm. I don't know what Scott was thinking. Even XL frame according to their website, has 80 mm stem.

@@RakvereHawaiiExpress Thanks for replying. Yes it is puzzling, can you ask Scott why they are putting a 90mm stem on a large frame (yours is not a one off BTW). I wonder what they put on an XL as they do not make a 100mm XC stem. Are they being consistent with the other two Scale gravel models?

@@johnlesoudeur3653 Our technical director replied that if that hinders selling, we may change it to 70mm (we have these in stock). And now I see why it felt a little off if I was sitting in the saddle...these extra 20mm.

@@RakvereHawaiiExpress Thanks for the update. I tried one in a shop so that is how I know. Great bike though and I may be tempted. It would be interesting to find out why Scott sent these out with a 90mm stem.
