SCOTT METRIX 20-ROAD BIKE -FLAT BAR -M-2023

Strong, well-built frame & fork combo

• Uses 6061 double-butted alloy for the frame which gives a good balance of strength, stiffness & weight. 

• Carbon fork (Metrix HMF), especially with an eccentric (tapered) steerer, helps reduce vibration from rough roads and improves ride feel. 

Good gearing & drivetrain

• Shimano Tiagra 2×10 speeds gives a wide enough gear range (compact crank + 11-32T cassette) for both flats and climbs. 

• It shifts smoothly and reliably. Even steep gradients are manageable. 

Hydraulic disc brakes

• Excellent braking performance, especially in wet or variable conditions. More control and safety for commuting or mixed-road use. 

Comfort & practicality

• Decent tyre width (≈ 40 mm) which helps smooth out rough roads or uneven surfaces. 

• Endurance geometry: not overly aggressive so longer rides are more comfortable. You get a good upright position without losing efficiency. 

• Integrated cable routing, replaceable derailleur hanger, readiness for fender/rack mounting (in many models) — helpful for commuting and reducing maintenance. 

Weight & agility

• The bike is relatively well-weighed (~10.4 kg in some versions) for its component spec. Balanced between performance and build. 

• Responsive ride: performs well at higher speeds or when pushing, and handles corners nicely. 

Versatility

• Works well as a fitness / commuting bike, but also capable of light gravel or rougher pavement because of its tyres, fork, and build. 

• Good value for the spec: many of its higher-end components (brakes, drivetrain) are the sorts you expect on more expensive bikes.
