With a redesigned frame for 2010 the Scott Speedster is showing no signs of resting on its laurels; it’s that commitment to development that has made the Speedster range from Scott some of the most respected and best riding road bikes around. The 2010 Speedster S30 is based around the excellent 2010 Speedster frame and uses clever component choices to offer great performance at a superb price and still comes with the option of either 18 speed compact or 27 speed gearing. The transulcent electric blue paint has proved a little ’love it or hate it’ but certainly stands out.

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.
