SCDS
SCOTT Carbon Dropout System

SCDS uses
a carbon fiber dropout with a replaceable alloy hanger. A lightweight, precise
and durable alloy disc brake mount improves heat distribution while braking.
Carbon chain stays with integrated carbon dropout shave additional grams from
the complete bike. Found on the Spark, Scale, Genius, full Addict road range.

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)

Press Fit Bottom Bracket

By implementing
PFBB30 standards, bonded alloy pieces are no longer utilized to install threaded
bottom brackets, saving 30 grams of frame weight and increase stiffness.

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.
