Scott hides the rear shock inside the frame on the Patron, and the result is one of the cleanest-looking bikes in the sport. It's a love-it-or-hate-it design move, and I'm firmly on the love-it side.
The ST version gets 170 mm up front and Bosch's CX Race motor, which is the punchiest Bosch you can buy. It's a burly, stable bike that's happiest on big, long days.
It's heavy, and the integrated shock means servicing takes a bit more patience. But nobody makes a bike that looks this tidy.
What I like
- Gorgeous, clean design
- CX Race power
- Big range with extender option
What I don't
- Heavy
- Integrated shock is fiddlier to service
Long-term test pending. Scott, if you'd like this one ridden and reviewed in full, let's talk.
