The backbone of the Scott hardtails the Aspect has evolved to become a solid dependable performer known for its responsive but not overly racy handling and well thought out component choices. For most people this is what mountain biking is all about, a strong, leight-weight double butted aluminium frame that will happily go wherever you point it. For 2010 they are both lighter and better spec’d which only improves what was already a great riding bike.

What is a Hard Tail Mountain Bike?
Thick, knobbly tyres and lots of gears are the overriding features of these machines. Strong frames are built to take the rough with the smooth and can often be accompanied by a front suspension fork for added comfort and control. Theyre designed mainly for off road use but these solid, comfortable bikes often meet more general needs. For further information on mountain bikes see our Mountain Bike Buying Guide.
