Sturdy aluminum frame & well-thought-out geometry

The Contessa Speedster Gravel 35's frame is made of high-quality, double-butted 6061 aluminum and features SCOTT's distinctive gravel geometry. This geometry offers an optimal balance between comfort and a sporty riding position. Internal cable routing ensures a clean look, while threaded mounts for fenders and racks allow for versatile upgrades. Weighing in at just around 11 kg, it remains pleasantly light and agile.

Reliable Shimano Claris gears

Equipped with the robust Shimano Claris 2x8 drivetrain (16 gears), the Scott Contessa Speedster Gravel 35 offers solid and smooth performance for a wide variety of terrain. The combination of the Claris FC-RS200 crankset (50/34 teeth) and Shimano CS-HG50 cassette (11-32 teeth) enables smooth gear changes and a wide gear range for flat sections and moderate climbs.

Safe control & comfortable handling

Mechanical Tektro MD-C511 disc brakes with 160 mm rotors front and rear ensure reliable braking performance – even in wet conditions or on long descents. The Speedster Gravel fork made of aluminum absorbs vibrations and gives the bike additional stability. In combination with the grippy Schwalbe G-One Bite Performance tires (700x40C), the bike guarantees optimal grip on gravel, asphalt, and forest trails.

Comfort & style in detail

The Syncros cockpit with Creston 2.0 X handlebar, RR2.5 stem, and matching seatpost ensures a harmonious riding experience and precise control. The ergonomic Syncros Savona 2.5 Channel saddle offers additional comfort – perfect for longer rides.
