Our engineers have developed IMP™, the newest technology applied to
carbon production. Our proprietary process allows for lighter
construction by removing 11% of the material from the headtube
intersection while increasing strength by utilizing high modulus
stressed fibers for more precise fiber placement in critical areas. To
compliment the IMP™ process, our frames benefit from our Naked External
Tubeset™, which eliminates the cosmetic carbon layer to shave precious
grams. Both HMX and HMF fibers are used in our carbon frames ensuring
the utmost durability, security, and longevity for the frame.
SDS minimizes high frequency vibration from the road, enabling a
damping effect without losing performance. SCOTT has engineered a
balance of vertical compliance (a measure of how smoothly a bike rides)
and lateral stiffness (associated with responsiveness during sprinting,
acceleration, and climbing) in both the rear triangle and the fork. By
maximizing vertical compliance, SDS cancels road vibrations, increasing
rider confidence, stability and comfort. Found on CR1 and Scale.
29” Wheels
Improved roll-over is the most
noticeable attribute when it comes to 29” wheels. The big wheels are
great for rolling over nasty roots and rocky sections, essentially
making it easier to ride these conditions. Improved traction is also a
key factor with the increased wheel diameter compared to 26” wheels as
tire contact to the ground is larger.
• Best Roll-Over Performance
• Carries Momentum
• Maximum Traction surface
• Best stability on easy trails
• Lowest suspension stress
• Great for larger frame sizes
• Increase stability on long curve
One carbon piece tubular seatstay, chainstay & dropout combined
with Direct Postmount 160 to shed an additional 25 grams.
= Homogeneous structure (less material, optimized performance, less
weight)
SCDS uses a carbon fiber dropout with a replaceable alloy hanger. A
lightweight, precise and durable alloy disc brake mount improves heat
distribution while braking. Carbon chain stays with integrated carbon
dropout shave additional grams from the complete bike. Found on the
Spark, Scale, Genius, full Addict road range.
