Scott Scale 925 Hardtail Mountain Bike - 2026

The Scott Scale 925 Hardtail Mountain Bike - 2026 is a lightweight cross-country hardtail built for fast trail riding, efficient climbing, and precise handling. Its Scale Alloy 6061 frame, race-inspired geometry, RockShox SID SL suspension fork, and Shimano XT-Deore 12-speed drivetrain combine to deliver low weight, direct power transfer, and confident control on technical terrain. The internal Syncros cable integration system keeps the frame clean and protected, while tubeless-ready wheels and Maxxis Rekon Race tyres improve grip, rolling speed, and puncture resistance for demanding off-road rides.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Scale Alloy 6061 custom butted frame with race-inspired geometry: The lightweight alloy frame uses custom butted tubing to reduce excess material while maintaining strength in high-stress areas. The aggressive cross-country geometry keeps handling sharp and responsive during climbs, descents, and fast cornering. This gives you efficient power transfer, quicker acceleration, and stable handling across varied trail conditions.
• RockShox SID SL RL 110mm suspension fork with RideLoc remote system: The SID SL air fork provides 110mm of adjustable travel with a 3-mode damper system for open, traction, and lockout settings. SCOTT RideLoc technology allows you to switch suspension modes from the handlebar without stopping. This helps you maintain control on rough trails while improving climbing efficiency and reducing wasted energy on smoother sections.
• Shimano XT and Deore 12-speed drivetrain: The Shimano XT rear derailleur works with a wide-range 10-51T cassette to provide smooth and reliable shifting across steep climbs and fast descents. Shadow Plus technology improves chain stability on rough ground by reducing chain movement. This gives you consistent shifting performance and better drivetrain control during aggressive trail riding.
• Shimano hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm front rotor: Shimano MT401 hydraulic brakes provide controlled stopping power with consistent braking feel in wet and dry conditions. The larger 180mm front rotor increases braking force and heat management on long descents. This improves confidence on technical terrain and allows you to control speed more effectively on demanding trails.
• Alex X-25 tubeless-ready rims with Maxxis Rekon Race tyres: The wide-profile rims and fast-rolling Maxxis Rekon Race tyres improve traction, cornering support, and rolling efficiency on hardpack and mixed terrain. The tubeless-ready design allows lower tyre pressures while reducing the risk of punctures. This gives you more grip, smoother trail feedback, and improved speed across technical surfaces.
• Syncros integrated components with dropper seatpost: The Syncros cockpit and cable integration system create a clean layout while helping protect cables from dirt and trail debris. The Syncros Duncan dropper post allows quick saddle height adjustment directly from the handlebar. This improves body positioning on steep descents and technical sections, giving you greater control and confidence when trail conditions change.

The Scale 925 is built for riders who want efficient speed and precise handling on cross-country trails without carrying unnecessary weight. The lightweight frame and responsive geometry help maintain momentum on climbs and flowing sections, while the RockShox SID SL fork and dropper post improve control on rough terrain. Shimano’s wide-range 12-speed drivetrain gives you the gearing needed for steep technical climbs and fast descents, making the bike suitable for racing, training, and long-distance trail riding.

The combination of low weight, modern geometry, and proven Shimano and RockShox components makes the Scott Scale 925 a strong option for riders who value speed, reliability, and efficient trail performance. Its balanced specification is ready for competitive riding, fast weekend laps, and demanding off-road use.
