Scott CR1 Premium Road Bike

The CR1 was originally Scott’s super-light, pro-level, race-ready machine. Over recent years, it has gone through a radical makeover, from a race focused bike, into one that is more suitable for the endurance rider. However it still remains as one of the lightest frames in the world.

The frame’s rear end now features Scott’s SDS – Shock Damp System. It’s a clever layup of the carbon fibre that blends 90-degree woven fibres with layers of unidirectional carbon. That’s allowed the designers to engineer in some vertical flex while making the shaped tubing highly resistant to twisting forces. They claim this helps reduce the shock of riding over poor road surfaces, while retaining great agility and performance.

The CR1 Premium model is the top of the range, and features the reliable, slick shifting from its Shimano Ultegra Di2 drivetrain system.
