With new product prices soaring, the SCOTT CR1 20, available as a "beautiful used" item, is undoubtedly a great value.

Combining a carbon frame featuring SDS technology for superior vibration absorption with a Shimano 105 + Tiagra Mix component set, this bike is recommended for both first-time carbon road bike owners and as a second bike. It offers everything from long-ride comfort to agile climbing performance!

Furthermore, there's plenty of room for customization with components like wheels and brakes, providing ample potential to tailor it to your preferences.

Entry-Level Yet Serious Geometry

The CR1 20 is an entry-level carbon endurance road bike.

It features SCOTT's proprietary "SDS (Shock Damping System)" standard. SDS is a molding method optimized for vertical stiffness and lateral torsion to enhance vibration absorption.

The rear stay section, in particular, is visibly flattened to absorb vibrations transmitted to the seat and suppress twisting during pedaling ◎

This molding is ideal for long rides, making it a true endurance road bike.

In terms of geometry, it adopts a design closer to a pure road bike than an endurance road bike.

While the head tube length is slightly shorter, it leaves ample room for the steerer tube, making it versatile for positions ranging from upright to a more aggressive, forward-leaning stance.

The center of gravity is slightly higher compared to recent models, but it was a popular design at the time. It's designed to be responsive from a standstill and capable on climbs ◎

The actual weight of the bike was 8.07kg. While not ultra-light for a carbon road bike, it feels like weight reduction is possible with custom wheels and cockpit components.

The CR1 20 combines SDS vibration absorption with geometry that accommodates everything from an upright to a race-oriented position. Its appeal lies in its versatility, allowing it to excel in long rides and hill climbs, despite being an entry-level model.

Shimano Mix Components & Customizable Specifications

The basic specifications adopt a Shimano 105 and Tiagra Mix component set (2×10 speed).

The current 105 has 12 rear speeds, making this specification feel a bit old. With current 10-speed systems, it would be equivalent to the Tiagra grade, so I believe it's comparable in specifications.

While you might feel a specification difference in race scenarios, it's perfectly capable for cycling.

Unfortunately, the crankset and brake calipers, while made by Shimano, use lower-tier components. For those who find this insufficient, these would be points for customization.

Another point for customization would be the wheels. While also made by Shimano, they seem to offer room for upgrades.

However, since some lower-tier components are used, if you want to further boost riding performance, please consider customizing it!
