Hail To The Scale!


Earlier I took my bike on its first ride of the season. I eagerly left the house and couldn’t wait to hit the awesome trails Exmoor has to offer. I am really lucky to live in such a beautiful area which is ideal for mountain biking. The trails of both Exmoor and the Quantocks are right on my doorstep. If you haven’t explored this area before I recommend you do as it really is fantastic.

As soon as I’d hit the trail the Scale came alive and did everything I asked of it. In my opinion there is no better bike out there for XC riding/racing. It climbs like a mountain goat, descends brilliantly, handles superbly and is very confidence inspiring. It almost begs to be ridden fast!

Some hard tails I’ve ridden in the past were so harsh I couldn’t wait to get off the damn thing because my back would be in so much pain. Not the scale! It feels like you’re riding a full suspension bike just without the rear suspension. I honestly can’t put into words how great this bike is, it is an absolute joy to ride. Thanks again to my brilliant sponsors Southfork.
