Scott CR1 Comp 2012 - Road Bike

SDS: Shock Damping System

SDS minimizes high frequency vibration from the road, enabling a damping effect without losing performance. Scott has engineered a balance of vertical compliance and lateral stiffness in both the rear triangle and the fork

S-bend Construction

Each tube profile is designed to absorb both abrupt and high frequency vertical input with no compromise in lateral stiffness. We’ve created an original tube shape that allows controlled deformation in the rear triangle called an S-bend. The SDS rear stays enable this S-bend deformation via unique tube structure, thickness, and shape in specific sections of the chain stays, seat stays and fork

Carbon Fork featuring SDS

The new 330 gram (.72 lb) CR1 fork has an improved shape and carbon dropouts. Now featuring SDS, the CR1 fork provides maximum comfort without compromising steering control. It is lightweight and very stable, providing the utmost performance whether climbing or descending

IMP - Integrated Molding Process

Our engineers have developed IMP, the newest technology applied to carbon production. The top tube, head tube and down tube are produced in a single step using a top-secret process. Our proprietary process allows for lighter construction by removing 11% of the material from the head tube intersection while increasing strength by utilizing high modulus HMF composite fibre, now in combination with our brand new HMX composite fibre. IMP also increases strength by utilizing high modulus stressed fibers with more precise fiber placement in critical areas. The result of this exclusive combination is a truly unique stiffness/weight ratio. Complimenting the IMP process, our frames benefit from our Naked External Tube set (NET) finish, which eliminates the cosmetic carbon layer to shave precious grams

Design and Shape

The overall frame design combines fluidity with the mechanical concept. Smooth continuous lines extend from the head tube and along the top tube. Each portion of the frame and fork was designed in unison to create an aesthetic that is both functional and visually appealing

What is a Road Bike?
Referred to as road racing bikes, the clue is in the title here. These bikes concentrate on being light weight and reducing drag to increase speed. Thanks to their drop handlebars they have a stretched out feel, again for aerodynamics. So efficiency is the name of this game, definitely not comfort. For more information on road bikes see our Road Bikes Buying Guide.

Occasionally, without notice, manufacturers change product design and/or specifications.
