SCALE CONCEPT

From the Carbon fiber to the manufacturing process to the f inal result- the new S cale
has been completely rede signed. Th e result: a new benchmark for race hardtail frames.
The Scale R C 700 SL weighs in at only 849 grams. The incredible light weight frame
characteristics and two dedicated frame platfo rms for 1x and 2x drivetrains lif t the standard
of hardtail mountain bikes to a new level.

A mix of high- end carbon fibers has been used on all Scale C arbon frames in orde r to
achieve incredible results . The HMX-SL fr ame utilizes MR70, YS60 and HR40 C arbon
fibers. HR40 is a strong an d light filament which, used together with M R70 fibers, attains
unachieved ten sile strength values. In order to achieve the set stiffness targets, YS60 layers
are added into the lay-up. Af ter choosing the Carbon f ibers, th e enginee rs are using spe cific
tools, like FE A software , to map out the carbon lay-up. Thanks to SC OTT 's proprietar y
EvoLap-Technology, diffe rent forces can be applied on a virtual mo del and the f rame
construction is adjusted accordingly.

The SDS2 technology achieves comfort in c arbon fra mes without adding parts or sacrificing
stiffne ss characteristics. In order to achieve this , the engineers use dif ferent tube sh apes in
combination with a strategic alig nment of the carbon fibers to avoid any undesired flex that
can impair performance.

The Boost standard improves wheel stiffness and a llows for increased tire clearance. The
new Scale frame has been developed around the Bo ost standa rd in order to maximize the
advantage s of the new norm . The three millimeter outboa rd chain ring ad ds clearan ce to the
chainstay area allowing for a significant increase of the chainstay cross-sec tion for both, the
1x and 2x models. This of fers more possibilities to find the right position of the rear whe el in
the frame in o rder to achieve improved structural stiffness.

The new Scale is available in t wo different versions. The HMX-SL and HM X frames are
optimized for 1x drivetrains only an d therefore ded icated to race-oriented riders. The HMF
line-u p is designed and optimized around a double chain ring setup. These models can,
however, accommodate a single chainrin g configuration.

On the new Scale introduce a sp ecific brake mount adapter which is linked dire ctly to the
chainstay an d thru-axle in order to increase stiffness.

Routing the cables internally avoids bulky external hardwa re and looks cl eaner. Due to the
improved protectio n, the cabl es have a longer lifetime.

The new Scale chain guide weighs in at just 23 grams, is easy to assemble thanks to a smart
mounting system and can accommodate 30T to 36T chainrings.

The new Scale dropouts are designed to be integrated on the thru-axle system thanks to a
hollow tube design that allows a sim ple and light weight struc ture.
