The Scott Contrail 10 is designed for riders who want to step into the world of trail riding with a bike that is as versatile as it is reliable. Built around a lightweight 6061 custom-butted alloy frame, this hardtail features a modern, trail-inspired geometry that strikes the perfect balance between stability on descents and efficiency on technical climbs. The internal cable routing keeps the aesthetic clean and protects your housings from the elements, while the 67-degree head tube angle provides the confidence needed to tackle steeper terrain with "point-and-shoot" accuracy.
Under the hood, the Contrail 10 is equipped with a high-performance Shimano CUES 1x11 drivetrain, offering a massive 11-50T gear range that makes even the most daunting vertical sections manageable. Up front, the RockShox Judy Silver TK fork delivers 100mm of smooth, coil-sprung travel with a lockout feature for efficiency on flatter fire roads or coastal paths. Paired with high-volume Maxxis Rekon Race tires and powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, this bike is a performance-oriented tool ready to help you develop your skills and push your limits on every weekend exploration.
Trail-Ready Handling: The modern 67° head angle and short chainstays make this bike incredibly nimble and forgiving on singletrack.
Climbing Prowess: The 1x11 Shimano CUES drivetrain with its wide-range cassette ensures you always have the right gear for steep climbs.
Premium Damping: The RockShox Judy fork offers superior control and traction on loose gravel compared to entry-level alternatives.
Aggressive Enduro: If your primary focus is high-speed downhill racing or massive jumps, a full-suspension model may be more suitable.
Strictly Road: While fast on the flat, the knobby Maxxis tires and trail geometry are designed for dirt over pavement.
To get the most out of this ride, we recommend checking your tire pressures before every outing. Since this bike comes with high-volume 2.4" Maxxis tires, running a slightly lower PSI (within the recommended range) can drastically increase your grip and comfort on technical, rooty sections of the trail.
