Just being fast is too slow for you; you want to be faster. In mountain bike XC races, you want to be the fastest woman. That's why training and nutrition plans dictate your life, and you spend a lot of time biking. Of course, you also settle for standard materials with your bike; your mountain bike must be perfect, a lightweight, effective riding machine with 27.5 inches for the direct path to the winner's podium. The new Scott Contessa Scale 700 is the perfect bike for you. In the Contessa Scale 700 series, Scott engineers developed a mountain bike hardtail adapted to women's anatomy with many innovations. For the bike frame, Scott relies on carbon and IMP technology. The extremely lightweight Contessa Scale 700 frames with high performance are the result. The conical head tube provides stiffness in the front area. The geometry of the Scott Contessa Scale 700 is race-proven; the bike reacts lightning-fast and can be steered safely. The use of lightweight high-end components reduces weight, an important advantage for your direct path to the winner's podium. The aluminum version of the Scott Contessa Scale 700 features almost identical geometry to its carbon sister, a lightweight, beautifully shaped, and perfectly crafted frame, as well as thoughtfully selected parts. Whether Scott Contessa Scale 700 in carbon or aluminum, in any case, it’s a mountain bike that almost guarantees fast lap times and good placements.

Bikers of shorter stature find themselves in a bit of a dilemma when choosing the right wheel size. Many want to take advantage of the benefits of 29-inch wheels but have to accept disadvantages in terms of ergonomics. Additionally, the higher rotational weight can pose a problem for riders with a less power-focused riding style. The advantages of 29-inch wheels only come into play when the bike is sufficiently accelerated. The solution for many bikers is 27.5: the new wheel size standard combines the best of 29- and 26-inch characteristics. 27-speed drivetrain
