Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2006 Scott Scale 30 and 2008 Scott Scale 30.
- Equipment
2008 Scott Scale 30 has 20 mm more front travel than 2006 Scott Scale 30 in the selected sizes.
Front travel is fork suspension stroke, not rear-wheel travel.
- Identity & price

How it works
Ratio = front teeth ÷ rear teeth. Hub gears also include the hub’s internal ratio. A 400% range means the highest ratio is four times the lowest.
Speeds are estimates from tire size and pedal cadence. Actual speeds vary.
