Scott Boulders is an MTB (stands for Mountain Bike) from Scott, limited, the leading resource of the best MTB in the world. Even if the Scott boulders is a 1999's production, it's very notable for the solid metallic frame and life longevity.

The Boulder comes in two different bend of colors; a burst of dark grey, blue, silver, white and a little bit of red, and the second where the blue is replaced with silver for a sleeker chrome look.
The triangular uni-sex frame is used, the front fork is shock k-absorbing, while the seat tube is left without shock absorber.

The handlebars are the Scott Strike Comp 1 P.G low-rise 600mm; Solid. The set width makes handling easy.

The frame is the Scott Bi-Axial Alloy 7005 Liteflite D.B. Scott Disc D/out.
One thing, I like about it is that the frame allows to ride more comfortably and efficiently, with more power, and less effort! the bigger, the better. But don't worry, the Boulder's frame works just fine!

Boulder is equipped with 27 speed. There are 3 cogs at the front deore and 9 at the back. Both are Shimano and run marvelously. The changeover both up and down is smooth, thus having this countless selection of gears, the bike makes a great experience when riding hills.

The pedals are the LU-998-S alloy. Probably smallish not advisable but you will get used to them. (You can change the pedals later)
The seat post is black and Scott camp's made. One inconvenient of size you might complain about thus it's changeable.

The Boulder uses the Scott Comp V-Brake model. mm Well, they're not endurable, and you will ended up changing them once 6 month. the disk brakes are much better.

Weighing in a mere 12.60kg it's one of the lightest mountain bikes. I think none will find any problem using it in short or long term.

It's a value for money ;).
