rode 7000 km offroad with it only had to change a spoke in rear wheel, rides like a charm
Max weight 128kg. If you weight a lot, like 90+ kg, and bike itself weight 13, it does not leave much of free weight. and with extra stuff can be exceeded, and spokes can go
bought this bike 6 months ago. it's generally a solid bike as expected from Scott. Great gear ratios for riding fast on paved roads. 45 mm tires helps a lot with bumps and ditches in absence of a front suspension. easy to handle on high speed turns. very light and practical bike for a lifelong MTB rider like me. now the negative aspects. tourney system is disgraceful for such a great bike but at least does the job. brake rotors being 6 bolt and came with slight bent gave me a lot of trouble with rubbing and slowing the bike. how good you set the pads won't solve it. i will try to flatten mine on a cylinder press. wheels/hubs, casette and rotors are not shimano. thinking of a drivetrain upgrade to unlock this bike's full potential as MT500 wheels, claris derailleur, HG41 casette and RT10 rotors by shimano. but since all these will cost 1/3 price of the bike itself, guess i will use the bike as it is for some years until it will require some repair/change. final thoughts, it's a great bike for the price but could be better. recommended for ex MTB users who wants to ride something on city roads that looks more like gravel.
Bought it one year ago. Using for commuting ant traveling - very happy about quality and price.
Solid and beefy this is the perfect commuter, gravel, and fitness bike. The weight is ok to help absorb some road feel as well as the meaty tires.
yea I dont think anyone is worried about the weight at this prioce poitn
Cheers, for the work you put in to your reviews. Really, helps me as a customer with my buying choices.
Great review! This bike looks solid! How’s the Shimano Tourney on this bike? Is it worth to upgrade this to a deore or any budget recommendation? Thanks!
the deore would be a nice upgrade it has a tighter cage and responds quicker the tourney derailer slaps around a little bit more
Just looked at one of these yesterday. Probably gonna buy it, just wanted to see others opinions before biting the bullet. Thanks
bro trek fx 1 vs giant escape 3 vs Marin Fairfax 1 vs sub cross 50 which one you will recommend?
@@rachetz6563 Any specific reason for picking sub cross 50, why not others?
Christ $500 dollars 💵
Uk they are selling for £600 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Shall I get one? I’ve been wanting a hybrid had a specialized before cross trail but looking for more gears and have found the Scott cos compared to the specialized sirrus which only has 16 gears, what’s the quality like build wise as the trek I had before have no end of bearing problems
Would you recommend this Scott over the sirrus 2.0 for a casual commuter/fitness rider?
It'd be fun to see Kev, when he gets his RV, swing by GC Performance for a visit.
I'm from England and this bike has just been released. It seems similar to the specialized X sirrius models and Voodoo marassa
Looks like a lot heavier than peer hybrid bikes but Im really in to it because it looks soooooo decent.
Could you please give some opinion about buying sub cross 50 rather than 11.xx kgs peer hybrid bikes?! Thanks 🤎
Now, I am planning to this bike, can you suggest any other Hybrid bike in nearby price range.
Thanks a lot for this nice review. I have a question? Is it possible to go on long trips (FRONT PANNIERS-REAR PANNIERS
) by putting touring bags on the front and back of this bike?
as long as it can take a front rack on there, yea u can ubt any bike is going to be a struggle on long triups
about to buy this bike but is it possible to change the height of the handlebar? or if not are there any attachments you can buy to make it possible? thanks in advance
Dayum, this is a more than decent bike , had the 2020 cannondale quick 5 & got that for 620 $ , 2021 720 $ & both have lousy mechanical brakes lol , good bargain, great review
Hey brother good informative
Is it better option than giant escape 3??
I dont know the giant I am sorry tbu I feel like both companies are ncie valued companies so dealers choice
Is it possible to upgrade the bike? For example a suspension just in case you'd like to use it more on dirt roads. Thanks!
it si possible I just odnt know if it would be worth it but yea you add a front fork if yoiu like
I have 6km to work, will this be good for 6km of asphalt and then off-road for hobby purposes? I'm worried that it'll be to gravel-like for ridiing asphalt to and from work?
I have this bike for a month now and ride it casually on different terrains, asphalt, various gravel, forest paths. It handles everything very well.
Great they haven't skimped off everything unlike my local pizza shop
Thanks for the review. Bought it 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately pedals died straight after the first week, but the rest is amazing
I will be sure to tell kev that he was mentioned in another youtubers video. He does have a good channel!
Can you please send the standover height measurement of subcross 50 Small Or Medium . Website is listing same measurement for all subcross family so it is wrong ,because the subcross 50 lacks shock absorber
I do not have this bike anymore I am very sorry I wish I had this information for you
Where I can find this bike in South Florida? It seems like no one has this or any other Sub Cross bikes
Reminds me of my 2015 sirrus only big difference being the disc brakes
yea and also the gravel tires it reminds me of the crosstrail specialized used to make but they discontinued it
Can I go bikepacking on this? Is this durable?
yea they are really nice, I mean it is all relevance for what u do on it but the back will alst as long as you treat it right
Yo man, where can I buy one of these? Every bike I want is out of stock...
yes they are impossible to find jsut google scott dealers around you and start calling unfortunately
I got the 2020 model, any difference with 2021?
nothing crazy just little difference in components by brand but nothing huge
scott Metrix 40 men 2014 .I also have this bike I live in France but I can't find a site to buy the front wheel, they steal the front wheel
Toronto H30s or sub cross 50?
Looks like a great deal for the price... really competitive especially in today's market.
Got one recently
its a solid 10/10 for getting catfood etc
:)
@@GCPerformance18 nothing quite like a bad of 20kg catfood on ya back as you ride back in the rain XD
edit : with no suspension on bumpy potholey 3rd world roads lmao
Getting one next week that colour.
Saw this few days ago. Couldn't find any other video about this bike! Great review my friend! Would like to see a video of this on the road. Is there any other bike at this price range that is that good...or better maybe?
thanks so much I am glad you enjoyed it, this bikeis one of the best bikes out there for th eprice and especially if you can find one in stock
@@GCPerformance18 so you say at this price look for no other...nice! Thnx a lot.
@@GCPerformance18 any cube bikes that are similar to this that you recommend? Cube has more models available here at the time! You can’t find any Scott and no store knows when they will have man cause of the hole COVID thing
@@GCPerformance18 great bike got a size large month a go its a flying machine done 34 miles today averaged 16mph great bike
Daughters Specialized Riprock 20 has the Tourney TX and surprisingly shifts better than the wife’s Scott Scale 970. 😑 😂 That being said, very good commuter for $500. Good stuff GC.
How is this bike for long rides like 100km?
ummmm I would not recomend it lol but it will do it and last but it will be tough
Canadian $ ? Because this is a 800 bike in US
when this video first released it was that price but this was middle of covid so there were plenty of price hikes
Any chance you'll be making a video on your thoughts about Sram sueing Princeton carbon works?
hel no I dont want to say anything on that ill proibably say something wrong and get sued lol........ they will handle it, I mean it was to be expected I think
@@GCPerformance18 fair enough.
I was surprised by it tbh. I didn't know you could patent bumps on a wheel.
Getting one ( grey ) next week.
i like it, but i use a giant talon 4 medium frame on 29" rims ... wishin it was 27.5
Bought it...1 week before. Great bike 👍
@@testtest-by3wo no issues till now... I have finished so many rides with this machine. It's a great bike.
Broooo ,hii, beautiful review love it. I request you please make a video Scott sub cross 30 2021 model 👍. Thankyou ❤️
I bought this bike in a size LARGE I’m 5”10 and Scott size chart recommends size Large.
My previous bike GT Aggressor Expert was a Size LARGE also and HUGE.
The Scott is TINY I should of ordered a XXL
Ride quality is crap as well
My GT Agressor was half the price and the ride quality was far better
In my opinion this bike is not worth the money at all
Donde puedo comprar esta bici en España?. Gracias. En talla M
Do you plan on doing a video on the metrix?
@@GCPerformance18 oh I noticed it has the same geometry as a model of their road bikes and would like a perspective on flat bars on a road bike frame.
Just picked this exact bike up today except in XXL! Looking forward to my adventures!!
That is a great deal for sure and a great option to not worry about getting another expensive bike and you can get off road ! Congrats on 12k also . Train keeps on moving 💪🏼
Thank you so much I am so happy its moving so quick its crazy how fast this sshit is going!!!
i use the 2021 giant talon frame set medium size in trekking green
This bike is $700+, and the fork is steel, not aluminum.
yea I kknow this price went up a lto since the vvideo I am sorry for that
Love hybrid bikes. Looks like a great deal. Cool colour too, nice to see something not fully blacked out.
I waited almost a year for my 2021 sub cross 30
Dude same here! I’m going to the dealership to pick mine up tomorrow. Sub cross 30 in medium
well now its 850 dollars///
@@GCPerformance18 Thanks for responding. I myself am a salesperson at a Trek store in NYC and the rate of price increases the past 2-3 years just dont add up :/
Sorry #GcPerformance I'm late
Lmao no worries man. You put in so much work for me I don’t fault you at all 😁
This Bike is 699.
yea when I did this bike when it came out it was this prioce now price increases
Hi which is best subcross 40 or 50
this bike is an insane value for the money and you can do so much with this bike and has no limits on what to do!!!!!!!!
It can do EVERYTHING! Except for being upgraded...Sales, you make me go hehehehehehe.
Can I change the drivetrain with 1 by Shimano Deore 10-51 and 44t FSA crank?
