The Scale benefits from the Shock Damping System developed for the CR1. SDS minimizes high frequency input from the ground. To achieve a shock damping effect without losing performance, SCOTT optimizes the balance between vertical compliance and lateral stiffness in the rear triangle. •Vertical compliance correlates directly to how smoothly the bike rides. By offering maximized vertical compliance, SDS will minimize vibrations transmitted by ground shock, maximizing stability and increasing comfort. •Lateral stiffness correlates to responsiveness during sprinting, acceleration, and climbing. Stiffness The new Scale dispels the myth that a light bike cannot be stiff. Due to a targeted layup structure in high stress areas, the use of the PFBB30/PFBB92 standards, and the incorporation of a tapered head tube, SCOTT has achieved results in proportion to weight that have not previoulsy been attained. Comparison of the old Scale vs. the new Scale Steering area Stiffness + 10% Bottom bracket Stiffness + 15% Bottom bracket Stiffness + 10% We always measure and test all our frames in our laboratories. The accrued data base has been used to validate the computer analyses, which were key in optimizing the new Scale by: -reducing maximum material stress -mitigating stress concentrations -evaluating stiffness and deformation IMP3- Integrated Molding Process Our engineers have developed IMP3™, the newest technology applied to carbon production. The toptube, headtube and down tube are produced in a single step using a top-secret process. Our proprietary process allows for lighter construction by removing 11% of the material from the headtube intersection while increasing strength by utilizing high modulus stressed fibers for more precise fiber placement in critical areas. To compliment the IMP™ process, our frames benefit from our Naked External Tubeset™ which eliminates the cosmetic carbon layer to shave precious grams. Press Fit Bottom Bracket By implementing Press Fit BB30 standards, bonded alloy pieces are no longer utilized to install threaded bottom brackets, saving 30 grams of frame weight and increase stiffness. Tubular Structure One carbon piece tubular seatstay, chainstay & dropout combined with Direct Postmount 160 to shed an additional 25 grams. = Homogeneous structure (less material, optimized performance, less weight
