Scott Contessa Walker

The "Contessa Walker" model from Scott, released in 2024, is a high-quality children’s balance bike characterised by its robust construction and ease of handling. The frame is made from Walker 12 Junior Alloy 6061 P.G. and features a footplate, which reduces the balance bike’s total weight to just 4 kg. The maximum load capacity is 50 kg, which is more than sufficient for the target age group.

The Contessa Walker’s fork is BMX-style and made from HiTen steel, which provides additional stability. It is rigid and compatible with 12-inch wheels fitted with a 1-inch headset. The handlebars are junior riser bars with a width of 400 mm and a rise of 20 mm, which allows for comfortable and ergonomic handling. The stem is an aluminium Ahead-style design, 30 mm long with a 25.4 mm clamp.

The Contessa Walker’s rims are made from black aluminium and fitted with 15G UCP spokes in black at both the front and rear. The tyres are Wanda P-1023, size 12-1/2x2-1/4", which ensure good grip and stability. Both front and rear hubs are KT-A86F models with 16 holes and are securely bolted in place.

The Contessa Walker’s saddle is a Syncros Contessa Walker model, mounted on an aluminium seatpost measuring 25.4x200 mm. This offers additional comfort and stability for the young rider.

In terms of packaging, the wheel has a width of 18 mm, a height of 46 mm and a length of 80 mm. The gross weight of the packaging is 6260 g. The product description states that the SCO Contessa Walker is available in one size.

The 2024 Scott Contessa Walker model therefore offers excellent value for money at €199 and is an ideal choice for parents looking for a sturdy and lightweight balance bike for their children.
