Scott Scale 935 Hardtail Mountain Bike - 2026

The Scott Scale 935 Hardtail Mountain Bike - 2026 is a lightweight cross-country hardtail built for fast handling, efficient climbing, and reliable trail performance. Its Scale Alloy 6061 frame, race-inspired geometry, RockShox Judy Silver air fork, and Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain give you a balanced setup for technical climbs, flowing singletrack, and long off-road rides. Tubeless-ready Alex X-25 rims, Maxxis Rekon Race tyres, and a Syncros dropper seatpost add more control, grip, and versatility across changing trail conditions.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Scale Alloy 6061 frame with race-inspired geometry: The custom butted aluminium frame reduces excess weight while maintaining stiffness through the bottom bracket and rear triangle. This helps improve pedalling efficiency and steering precision during hard efforts and technical sections. The aggressive geometry keeps the bike stable at speed while maintaining responsive handling on tighter trails, giving you better control and less wasted energy over long rides.
• RockShox Judy Silver TK Solo Air fork with 110mm travel and lockout: The air spring design allows accurate setup based on rider weight and riding style, while the rebound adjustment helps manage fork response over rough terrain. The remote lockout lets you firm up the fork during climbs and smoother sections for more direct power transfer. This creates a more efficient ride on mixed terrain while still providing impact control and front-end traction on rough trails.
• Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain with 10-51T cassette: The wide gear range gives lower climbing gears for steep gradients and higher gears for fast sections without large jumps between shifts. Shimano’s Shadow Plus rear derailleur improves chain stability over rough ground and reduces chain slap. This results in smoother shifting under load, quieter riding, and more consistent drivetrain performance during demanding trail rides.
• Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm front rotor: Hydraulic braking provides controlled stopping power with less hand effort compared to mechanical systems. The larger front rotor improves heat management and braking consistency during repeated descents. This gives you better speed control on steep terrain and helps reduce fatigue during longer rides.
• Tubeless-ready Alex X-25 rims with Maxxis Rekon Race tyres: The wide internal rim profile supports the tyre casing more effectively, improving cornering stability and tyre shape at lower pressures. The Rekon Race tyres balance rolling speed with dependable off-road grip, while the tubeless-ready setup helps reduce puncture risk and allows lower tyre pressures for better traction. This improves comfort, grip, and efficiency across loose and uneven terrain.
• Syncros Duncan dropper seatpost and integrated Syncros components: The dropper post allows fast saddle height adjustment while riding, helping improve body positioning on descents and technical sections. The integrated Syncros cockpit and cable routing system keep the setup clean and reduce cable movement around the front end. This creates more freedom of movement on the bike and a quieter, more controlled ride feel on rough trails.

Fast climbing, efficient power transfer, and predictable handling remain key priorities for cross-country riders, and the Scott Scale 935 is built around those strengths. The lightweight alloy frame keeps acceleration sharp, while the Shimano Deore drivetrain gives reliable shifting across varied terrain. The RockShox air fork adds controlled suspension performance without adding unnecessary weight, and the tubeless-ready wheel and tyre setup improves rolling speed and grip. Combined with the dropper seatpost and modern geometry, the bike stays capable on technical trails while remaining efficient on longer rides and climbs.

The Scott Scale 935 Hardtail Mountain Bike - 2026 brings together lightweight construction, proven components, and modern trail control in one efficient package. Its balanced specification makes it a strong option for cross-country riding, trail loops, and all-day off-road use where speed, control, and reliability matter most.
