We’re back with more coverage from Interbike! This time around we’re going to take a look at Scott bikes, clothing, and more! There’s to learn about Scott bikes for 2013 as the entire line gets a significant upgrade with the addition of Syncros. Scott has partnered with Syncros and now features their wheels and components on almost all of their bikes. Partner that with industry leading, innovative frame designs and you get some really really nice looking (and riding) bikes.
Other highlights include an 18 lbs. road bike under $2000 (yes, you read that right), an overhaul on the Speedster frame, and a completely redesigned Genius! The new Genius is available in two wheel sizes – 650B and 29. Scott feels so strongly about this segment of bikes they have completely done away with the 26″ wheel. You’ll still find it on their freeride and DH bikes, and even the more All Mountain/Endure based Genius LT, but if you want a Scott trail bike, you won’t even be considering a 26.
Check out the pictures and make sure you stop by the shop for more info! We currently have a couple 2013 Scott demo bikes in the shop, but Scott will be coming to snatch them up pretty soon, so come ride them while you have a chance! See for yourself what a difference the Sycros wheels and components make!
-
- The 650B version of the Scott Genius. Definitely going to be a great bike for the Stowe area and has been receiving tons of high praise in press since Interbike.
-
- The Genius 900 is the 29er version of this popular bike. A very capable 29er for more rugged terrain.
-
- Scott really emphasized that switching to Syncros wheels improved the ride quality of all their bikes.
-
- Full Syncros components packages really make the Scott line of bikes look complete and ready to ride straight out of the box.
-
- Dave and Peter talking shop next to the Scott Gambler, Voltage, and Voltage FR. DH, DJ, Freeride respectively
-
- The Gambler is Scott’s full on DH bike. Adjustable enough that it can transform from super slack race bike to slightly steeper, more agile park bike.
-
- This was a popular bike at Interbike. Eye catching colors on a well spec’ed, well designed freeride bike certainly can turn some heads.
-
- Carbon hardtail for those women out there looking to break sound barriers on the flats
-
- The Contessa Scale (women’s hardtail) covers everything from entry level to carbon race
-
- The Genius LT, much like the Voltage FR and Spark, is relatively unchanged for 2013, with the exception of the Syncros components and wheels.
-
- Scott’s entry level, budget friendly, road bike, the Speedster, got a completely redesigned frame! Out with the old tubular frame, in with hydroformed, sleek awesomeness.
-
- Remember reading something about a 18lbs road bike under $2000? There you go!
-
- I’ll repeat myself again; the colors on the women’s Contessa line (both road and mountain) are very good looking in person!
-
- The belt driven Sub 10. Hipsters everywhere rejoice!
-
- The men’s clothing from Scott looked great! Some favorites from past seasons in new colors combined with totally new products!
-
- Women’s colors look awesome for 2013! You’ll definitely see a good selection of both mens and womens at Skiershop and Bike Stowe next summer!
There you have it! In our opinion, those are the highlights from the Scott booth at Interbike. Since Giant wasn’t at the show, this report on Scott sums up the bulk of our bike brands! There’s a chance we’re going to pick up a couple other, smaller, niche brands (can you say snazzy new rec path fleet?), but between Intense, Rocky Mountain, Scott, and Giant we’re going to have you covered no matter what you’re looking for!
Weather is perfect for riding right now! Leaves are changing, trails are dry, and everyone’s enjoying the last few weeks of the riding season! Come join us! 7pm night ride tomorrow evening!
