New Toy
NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
Hi all am looking to buy new toy either Scott Scale 920 or 930
29er. Any one got either and what do you think of them for
local Perth trails.

I love the ride of the latest carbon 29ers & I have ridden the Trek, Specialised, Giant & Scott offerings over the last year. While all have slightly different characteristics they were all fast, comfortable & well sorted, the Scott 930 in particular.. In my mind if you're after fast & want to race this category represents the best performance for the money and all are capable of doing well (As can be seen at any finish line).
Having said that I would only pick this type of bike for here if I had another more hardcore one for playing about on otherwise you'll be either missing out on some good stuff or beating the crap out of it trying to ride stuff that is just too far out of its intended purpose/comfort zone.
