Bikes for women: The new Scott Contessa line-up

30 January 2020 by Florian Nowak

Product news: With the new Scott Contessa bikes for 2020, the manufacturer known for its high-quality and sporty bikes is continuing its women-specific bike line-up. Here, too, innovation, technology and design are the focus and should offer an ideal mix for all cyclists out there.

For the 2020 product year, the new Scott Contessa generation is once again equipped with various women-specific bikes for a wide variety of applications. The models include the Contessa Ransom for tough Enduro action, the Contessa Addict Gravel for unlimited riding fun, the Contessa Spark RC for XC World Cup performance and the Contessa Strike eRIDE for when extra power is needed.

Scott Contessa Ransom 910



The Scott Endurobike Ransom was launched in 2018. But since more and more female riders want to enjoy high alpine trails or enter the enduro segment, it was only the next logical step to expand the Ransom product range with the Contessa. The Contessa Ransom 910 has excellent climbing and downhill characteristics and is equipped with the proven TwinLoc suspension system, a specially tuned FOX suspension system, a SRAM Eagle group and Syncros components so that you are well prepared, no matter what the trail brings.

Scott Contessa Addict Gravel 15

It goes without saying that the mega trend Gravel should not be missing for the sporty and exploring ladies. With the Contessa Addict Gravel 15 you ensure unlimited riding fun, whether on gravel or asphalt. Because the high-quality carbon frame delivers first-class performance and ensures speed at all levels, the new gravel-specific Shimano GRX groupset and the Syncros components together result in an adventure machine for long day tours and more.



Scott Contessa Spark RC 900

The Scott Contessa Spark RC is a full suspension cross country bike made to win. Kate Courtney took her first World Cup win on this bike in Nova Mesto in May 2019. This bike's genes are shared with the trail-focused Contessa Spark series, which lets you take World Cup speen from the track to the home lap.



A RockShox SID Select+ fork provides a smooth ride and is paired with a custom RockShox NUDE 3-mode shock via the Scott TwinLoc suspension system. The SRAM X01 Eagle12-speed drive ensures a first-class range and the SRAM Level disc brakes ensure powerful braking actions and offer a lot of security. Together with the in-house Syncros components, this results in a fantastic carbon race bike with full suspension.

Scott Contessa Strike eRIDE

 



Comfort meets versatility in the Scott Contessa Strike eRIDE. Because with its completely new design, the Contessa Strike eRIDE 910 is the definition of comfort for a full-suspension E-MTB. The modern integration ensures a clean look, the high-quality components offer first-class performance and the women-specific contact points ensure a comfortable ride. The new Bosch drive unit offers enough power to tackle any tour.
