Top bike for a beginning MTBer, absolutely worth its money!

- Linda, 17 November, 2022

This bike is perfect for a beginner, was able to try several brands in the spacious store. This one worked best for the budget I wanted to spend. Had grips put on at an additional cost, also purchased a water bottle and holder. Meanwhile also fenders, an expensive helmet, bell. The bike can be built the way you want it. Nice colors, only the handlebars I tried but they were really too wide, Mantel shortened them for me free of charge after 2 weeks, now they are exactly as I wanted.

Pros & Cons

Lock on handlebar fork
Neat +good service from Mantel
Only size S with 29" tires
Tough bike
Very smooth bike shifting
Grips standard not fine
Handlebars too wide=> shortened by Mantel

Excellent MTB for the beginner

- Mark, 11 November, 2022

My new Scott Scale 980 was delivered in a giant box that was damaged in a few places in transit, fortunately I found no damage to the bike. Assembly was fairly simple; just straighten and tighten the handlebars, mount pedals, put a little air in the tires and go. The bike rides excellent, although I had to spend some time searching for a good sitting position. The only downside I found is that the seatpost clamp can't do enough to keep the saddle at the right height. I tighten the quick release as best I can and then use an imbus to tighten it a little further so it sits firmly. Another minor issue was a creak in the seat post, but that too has since been fixed with some mounting paste. The handling of this bike is excellent, the suspension and suspension lock are fine tuned. The Maxxis Rekon tires are not 100 percent suitable for the terrain I ride most of the time, but that's something for later.

MTB that I would definitely recommend

- RV, 6 April, 2021

Very happy with this purchase, every week I cycle MTB routes in different places in the Netherlands. Nice that it has 12 gears, especially when you have more altitude difference. In my opinion the saddle is a bit hard for the longer routes. Compliments for the good service from Mantel!
