Scott Contessa Active 10

The "Contessa Active 10" model from Scott from 2024 presents itself as a versatile and high-performance mountain bike designed for female riders in the 180 cm to 190 cm height range. The frame is made from the Contessa Active 700/900 series with 6061 Custom Butted Tubing alloy and offers a robust and efficient base thanks to the Boost QR 5x141mm axle, the tapered head tube and the BB92 Pressfit bottom bracket. The internal cable routing and replaceable derailleur hanger round off the design.

With a weight of 13 kg and a permissible total weight of 128 kg, the Contessa Active 10 is both light and resilient. The Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, which are equipped with a 180 mm brake disc at the front and a 160 mm Shimano SM-RT10 CL brake disc at the rear, ensure a safe ride.

The bike has a precise Shimano Deore gear system with 22 gears, controlled by the Shimano Deore SL-M5100 shifters with R-plus and 2-way release function. The front derailleur is a Shimano Deore FD-M5100 Side Swing model, which ensures smooth gear changes. The drivetrain system is complemented by a KMC X11 chain.

The Suntour XCR32-RL-R air suspension fork with a travel of 100 mm and remote lockout function offers excellent damping properties that can be adapted to different types of terrain. The Shimano FC-M5100-B2 crank drive with a chainring ratio of 36x26 and the Shimano CS-M5100-11 cassette (11-42T) ensure efficient power transmission.

Comfort and control are ensured by the Syncros 3.0 handlebars with a width of 680 mm, a rise of 12 mm and a backsweep of 9 degrees, as well as the Syncros Women Comfort lock-on grips. The stem is also a Syncros 3.0 model with a length of 60 mm and an angle of 7 degrees. The headset is a Syncros OE Press Fit model, which ensures stability and steering precision.

The wheels consist of Syncros X-20 Disc rims with 32 stainless steel spokes, which are fitted with Kenda Booster tyres in size 2.4" both front and rear. The hubs are from Formula, with the front hub being the CL51 model and the rear hub the CL2241 model.

The Syncros Savona 2.5 V-Concept saddle and the Syncros 3.0 seatpost with a diameter of 31.6 mm and a length of 350 mm offer additional comfort on long rides.

With a price tag of EUR 1099, the Scott Contessa Active 10 offers excellent value for money for riders looking for a reliable and well-equipped mountain bike.
