Scott Speedster Gravel | Range Review | Tredz Bikes

- Опубліковано 23 вер 2024
- The Scott Speedster Gravel is based on Scott's endurance road bike, the Speedster. It shares a very similar geometry as the Speedster endurance road bike, just with a slightly longer chainstay. This keeps the bikes fast road characteristics but with the wider tyres, adds all-road capability and stability.
There are 5 models in the range, 3 unisex bikes and 2 women's specific bikes that Scott brand "Contessa" to help distinguish. All bikes have 700c wheels, aluminium frames and Shimano GRX groupsets. The bikes are named with numbers, from the 25/30 entry-level bikes to the top of the range 10 machine.

Whats the difference between this and the speedster disc non gravel edition?
Hi Matt, The main differences are the wheels, tyres and drivetrain being more gravel orientated on the gravel model. From a geometry perspective they're almost identical so you could keep a set of road tyres or even another wheelset and have the best of both worlds!
Is there a possibility to add a stand or a carrier?
Hi, it has rack mounts but not stand mounts.
What do you think about the Scott Speedster Gravel bike 2022 models?
rly cool video! can you tell me the song name?
What would be the thinnest tires that you could put on these wheels that come with the bike?
Hi Baldur, the rims aren't that much wider so you could probably go down to a 28c if you really wanted to.
@@tredz Just bought the bike and I think I would like to own an extra set of tires, some smoother 30c tires for road rides, so that's good to hear. Thanks for the quick answer!
@@Balli270 No Worries! I'd be sure to check out how well it rolls on the road with the current tyres first. Unless you're coming from an all out race bike You'll probably be surprised with how quick it still feels.
@@Balli270 no, don't listen to them, buy a second wheelset! :D
one with gravel tires and one with really fast supple road tires
@@nugginusslover476 no! Buy a second bike!
As far as I know the Grx isn't on all 4 of the Speedster Gravel bikes. It not on the Grave 40 model.
Hi Alan, you're quite right, it has changed for this model year. The specs are always subject to change particularly from year to year.

Thanks for the reply, Could you please let me know something.
I'm buying my first bike in about 20 years from when I use to mess about with mountain bikes. I wanted to get a road bike for fitness more so than going on 3 or 4 hour cycles but was afraid to get a road bike in case I didn't take to it. But speaking to my local shop he showed me the gravel bike which I loved the idea of been able to use trails and not just stuck to the hard road. My question is i love the look of the the Speedster Gravel 40 2021 and have the money for it €1299 in Ireland but noticed it didn't have the GRX groupset and Hyd brakes and was worried that it wouldn't be as up to scratch to the other 3 models.
I don't like the look of the gravel 30 @ €1499 but do like the Gravel 20 @ €1799 but to be honest for my 1st bike is out of my price range. Always a chance that at 42 I might not take to cycling again after not doing it for so long. So would love to know your thoughts one my 1st choice.
Many Thanks
Alan
@@alankane8686 Hi Alan, Gravel bikes are loads of fun and if you used to ride mountain bikes they're going to be right up your street! You still get Hydraulic brakes with the Tiagra equipped bike but as you probably know already this is a road focussed groupset whereas GRX has more emphasis on riding off road so is built with the additional challenges this brings. In the real world though, the differences are going to be minor and unless you're riding the two back to back it'll be difficult to feel a difference and it's your first bike in 20 years either are likely going to feel like an improvement over your last ride. I'd say go for the one that fits best, you like the look of and is in stock, you won't regret it!
Whats the diff to a Scott Gravel Comp 19?
Hey Alan! I ordered this bike in early January and should be receiving it in about 2 weeks! I ordered a set of gravel tires and a set of road tires. With the Tiagra group set the Gravel 40 is pretty much a road bike, just 1-2 pounds heavier! And like Tredz Bikes said, the Tiagra groupset is actually more road friendly than the GRX. I will be using this as my daily trainer on the roads this summer (training for an Ironman) and should have no problem keeping up with my cycling mates! I'll let you know how I like it in a couple of weeks, but either way I definitely recommend this bike :)!
What’s the widest tire you can put on this?
Hi Jim, it comes with 35mm tyres and you should be able to fit up to a 40mm in there. There's loads of clearance in the frame but the fork is a little tighter.
With full mudguards how wide can one fit? And what do you mean by fork is lil tighter?
is it tubeless?
Hi, It'll likely vary depending on the spec of the model. I'd suggest checking on the Scott website or contacting our BIke Specialist team www.tredz.co.uk/contact-us to confirm
Max tyre clearance?

I have this bike. Scott claims 700x38. But since the manufacturer's true width varies, not all 38s will fit the rear. I have a 38 up front, 35 rear.
I’m enjoying the bike so far ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.
Formula hubs = I'm out. Total lack of spare parts means the rear is basically unserviceable...
I was looking into this bike. I don't know much about bikes but I do want a gravel bike and have around 2k to spend. Can you the hubs be replaced or upgraded to better quality? Do you have any recommendations for better a gravel bicycle?
@@blp1884 you can replace hubs or wheels, it's just quite costly. Many bikes have these cheaper hubs on from various manufacturers. I'm just fed up of a few pence parts not being available means £300 new wheel...
@@m__r1100 gotcha, thanks for the reply and clearing that up for me.
Googled formula hubs but no headway. How do i know a bike has formula hubs pls?
@@blp1884 Also quick releases + disc brakes + gravel riding = NO F'ING WAY for me (and really Scott no thru-axles in 2020?). Too bad too because this bike is a great spec for the money. Try to Orbea Terra AL or the Canyon AL for about 2K. If you really need a carbon bike, try the Viathon G1 for about 2,300. You may get crap for riding a "Walmart Bike" but think of the $'s saved and smile. Make sure to get GRX or the SRAM equivalent and not a road groupo like 105 because you'll need the lower gearing if you are in any kind of a hilly area (also there are tricks to lower the gearing even more - search "GoatLink" or "RoadLink"). Have fun.
