Bicycle 27,5/29 Scott Contessa Active 40 dark burgundy

Leave the paved roads behind with the Scott Contessa Active 40, the perfect beginner's mountain bike for women who want to explore the outdoors and off-road with the Scott Contessa Active 40 style="height:235px; width:921px">. This model has a lightweight aluminium frame for very stable handling. Most of the cables on this bike are hidden inside the frame, which protects them from dirt or precipitation. The bike has a saddle specifically designed for women, which will allow you to ride comfortably even on longer journeys, and since women's shoulders are narrower than men's, Contessa models are fitted with a narrower handlebar with a shorter handlebar overhang to avoid losing comfort and riding pleasure. Front fork damping is very important off-road, but not so much on tarmac or other smooth surfaces. That's why we've fitted a front fork with Lock/ Open lock function. Lock the fork when riding on tarmac to make the bike stiffer and easier to ride, and unlock it when riding off-road and enjoy its smooth and soft functionality. So unlocking/locking the fork helps you ride your bike as efficiently as possible on any surface.Contessa Active 40 features a Shimano Altus shift group. This group is a common feature on mountain bikes in this price range and works confidently and reliably. With 18 gears and an 11–36 cassette that allows for a large gear range, you'll have a wide choice of gears when tackling steep climbs. For braking, the Contessa is equipped with Tektro hydraulic disc brakes for excellent braking on dry or wet road surfaces;
