Key benefits of the SCOTT Sub Cross 40

• Sub Cross aluminium frame: The lightweight 6061 alloy construction, with custom butted tubing and internal cable routing, makes it easy to fit mudguards and a rack.
• Shimano drivetrain: The 8-speed Shimano RD-U2000 rear derailleur combined with an 11-45T cassette provides a wide gear range for flat roads and moderate climbs.
• Tektro TKD 176 brakes: Hydraulic disc brakes with 2-piston calipers and 160 mm rotors deliver consistent braking power in all weather conditions.
• Kenda Piedmont tyres: The 50 mm width and 700c diameter absorb road vibrations and provide secure grip on wet tarmac and gravel.

Performance in practice

For the daily commute, the rigid aluminium fork and smooth-rolling Kenda Piedmont tyres deliver quick acceleration and minimise energy loss on tarmac.

On longer touring trips, the comfortable geometry and option to fit a rear rack come into their own, while the 8-speed Shimano system reliably handles varied terrain.

In wet weather, the Tektro hydraulic brakes with 160 mm rotors maintain full braking power, while internal cable routing protects the cables from dirt and water.
