Scott Reflex 20 - A good all rounder.
Review of Scott Reflex 20D by
BigWill1981
Advantages: Good frame, Fast climber, Well specced. Good to upgrade over time.
Disadvantages: Tyres wear out quickly, Can't fit big tyres.
...to the tasks as I have hit a few rocks and ramps and they still track as true as they did from new.
The gears shift smoothly and the cables are sleeved almost their entire length so there is little chance of griming them up. You could even file out the final cable guide in a few minutes and run fully sleeved cables if you wanted to.
The bike's geometry is well suited to fast riding and the steep saddle post angle improves things when raised up.
Weaknesses:
The biggest weakness on my bike were the tyres. They gripped pretty well and cleared the mud well once it got gloopy but they wore out really quickly. I don't skid everywhere but I expect my tyres to last more than a couple of months. I now run 2.1 muds instead of the 2.0 Scotts and all is good. Clearence at the front allows tyres of up to about 2.35 or 2.5 if you feel brave...

Review of Scott Boulder by
AmenTeen
Advantages: Solid Frame, Excellent Gears, Durable, Value for money
Disadvantages: Small pedals and seat, V form brakes (not endurable)
...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...
