Scott Contessa Cr1 Pro Bicycle

Description:

The Contessa Road Series starts its third season of success. This bike features the same design as Scott's team bicycles but Scott's product specialists have altered key components such as the saddle and handlebars to more suitably adjust to female's body. All Contessa road frames have been designed according to the female anatomy resulting in the most comfortable high-performance bicycles for ambitious female riders.

The basis of these state of the art road-racing bikes is Scott's progressive CR1 technology. Top rankings in product tests of international bike magazines prove that Scott's CR1 models set the standard when it comes to high-performance composite road bikes. The CR1 technology and high modular composite fiber HMF result in an optimal lateral stiffness of this extremely light (880g) frame. The SDS shock dampening system provides very comfortable riding characteristics and best shock absorption, resulting in a perfect steering: These qualities are extremely important to the Saunier Duval Prodir Pro Team riders who were very successful at the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France!

Elite racers have described the Scott CR1 as amazingly stiff and super light. The stiffness is particularly noticeable when standing to climb or sprint. The bike is nimble and confidence inspiring in the turns and descents. The cosmetics and finish are excellent. It is very stiff and there is no loss of power transfer, yet it is still dampening and comfortable. It has great geometry and handling. It's as good as any carbon bike on the market at a great price. It's amazing how smooth the ride is and how little seemingly less effort was needed to get it cranking.
