Scandium SC7 frameset – at 1.25kg / 2.75lb this is our lightest weight MTB hardtail frame ever. Laterally rigid, it climbs like a mountain goat yet it’s one of the most comfortably compliant hardtails you will ever ride.

To underline this bike's stunning value, consider this. A Deore groupset, alone, retails for 300 quid, while last time we sold a Scandium frame ('twas a Rocky Mountain) it cost a grand.

• Full Shimano Deore groupset (embellished by an XT rear mech) – i.e. it's not just the Rapidfire shifters and gears that are prime Shimano. The chainset, the bottom bracket, the cassette, the chain, the hubs and the hydraulic disc brakes are also Shimano Deore: generally reckoned to be the best price:quality ratio deal in mountain biking
  
• Carbon kit: Velo Carbon Slice saddle (carbon-base, ti rails, 186g) and Guizzo carbon bars and seatpin. Who are Guizzo? The high-end arm of Kalloy - probably the most respected seatpin / bar manufacturer on the planet – and another Edinburgh Bicycle discovery. Guizzo also make the extremely classy cold-forged CNC-machined alloy stem.
  
• Confidence-inspiring disc brake-specific wheel set.
  
• Tioga Factory Extreme XC 26x2.1 tyres – lightweight off-road rubber, proven in extreme UK conditions.
  
• Such a sussed spec, and to ensure everything works sublimely, the bike is carefully assembled from the frame up in Edinburgh Bicycle Co-op’s own workshop. The result: a great looking machine (very stealth) that performs like a name brand £1,000+ hardtail
• As with all our bikes, the Revolution Scandium Deore comes with a lifetime warranty on the frame, one year on the components.
