Mountain bike Scott Contessa Active 40 Cu

The SCOTT Contessa Active 40 is a light, reliable and versatile women’s mountain bike designed for riders who appreciate comfort, maneuverability and stability — ideal for urban commuting, leisurely rides, or off‑road trails. This model combines practicality with quality‑level components, making it a great fit for beginners and regular cyclists alike.
The frame is built from 6061 alloy (Contessa Active 700/900 series) with internal cable routing and a replaceable derailleur hanger, ensuring durability and clean lines, while protecting cables from dirt and moisture.

The Suntour XCT30‑HLO suspension fork offers 100 mm of travel and features a hydraulic lockout system. Lock the fork for efficient pedaling on smooth terrain or unlock it for better bump absorption when riding off-road.

The Shimano CUES drivetrain features a 9-speed setup with RD-U4000-SGS rear derailleur, SL-U4000-9 shifters, FD-M2020-TS front derailleur, and a 32T crankset — offering a wide gear range to tackle climbs and fast flats. An 11–46T cassette and KMC X11 chain ensure smooth, consistent shifting and long-term durability.

Braking is handled by Tektro HDM276 hydraulic disc brakes with 160 mm rotors front and rear — delivering confident stopping power in all weather conditions.

Wheel sizes are either 27.5" or 29", depending on the frame size. Syncros X-20 Disc rims are paired with Kenda Booster 2.4" tyres, delivering grip, stability, and good off-road capability. The Syncros 3.0 handlebar with ergonomic Women Pro grips provides excellent control and comfort, designed specifically for smaller hands.

With a controlled geometry and balanced build, the bike performs well both on short daily commutes and long nature rides. Total weight is approximately 14.3 kg, and the max system weight (bike + rider + gear) is 128 kg.
