The Scott CR1 frame alongside the most famous model Addict to offer a frame less demanding from an economic standpoint, but also more comfortable over long distances.

 The new frame is in monocoque high modulus carbon, then change in the geometry and the main sections of the tubes, a new study of rigidity and flexibility of the frame. Like other companies also Scott, then, sought to create a product with high torsional rigidity that is necessary to have a good power transmission, and a good vertical flexibility, allowing a better absorption of vibrations and strikes the ground. Very important was the study of the rear stay, which provides the chain stay with broad section of the tubes and the seat stay slender much. The head tube is higher, to ensure a better driving position, taller and comfortable, and has a bearing 1 inch and an eighth. Even the fork from the stem and seeds in straight airfoil was designed to allow a good absorption of vibrations. Section of the abundant and regular three main tubes of the frame. The frame is available in seven different sizes from XXS to XXL and has a declared weight of 950 grams. The model CR1Pro is then blended with the new group Shimano Ultegra 6700, adopted in full, then are taken Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheels and tires Continental Ultra Race, the classic measure 700x23. Stem and handlebar are signed Scott and are in aluminum, while the seatpost is a Ritchey Carbon Pro 31.6mm in diameter, the saddle is still Scott. So assembled, the bike has a declared weight of 7.3 kg. The frame kit is priced at 1450 Euro, while the assembled bike is priced around 2700 Euro, in both cases, prices in line with the quality of the product. A bike for long runs of amateurs that do not require high values of stiffness, but a high comfort over long distances on uneven.
