With new geometry and plenty of carbon, the Scott CR1 Comp Compact road bike delivers speedy performance and offers comfort-oriented features for long training and recreational rides.

CR1 carbon frame is oriented toward performance as well as comfort, combining low weight, lateral stiffness and more-accommodating top and head tube lengths
The result of the frame design is a performance-bred ride that handles and rides comfortably—not quite a pure racing machine, but close
All-carbon fork, chainstays and seatstays feature Scott's Shock Dampening System (SDS) to absorb road vibration, helping reduce fatigue and conserve energy
Shimano 105 rear derailleur and Tiagra shifters give you fingertip control of the 18-speed compact drivetrain
Shimano Tiagra dual pivot brakes provide dependable deceleration
Lightweight Shimano wheels and Continental Ultra Race tires minimize rolling resistance to convert your power into speed
Ritchey Carbon Pro seatpost is topped with a Scott Road Pro saddle; cockpit is rounded out with Scott Road stem and handlebar
Specs are subject to change

After its initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.

Comments about Scott CR1 Comp Compact Bike - 2010:

Although I have not ridden top of the line bikes to have a comparison, for me, this bike is pretty darn good. It is light, just 17 pounds or so, and fast, although I haven't a speedometer on this bike yet, judging from my other bike, I have probably done near 40 mph many a time. I've done 30-32 on my Trek 520, averaging 20 or so. The seat is very comfortable, I hardly notice I am sitting on it, whereas my other bike I had to get a Brooks saddle, but I think the Scott saddle is a tad better, which surprised me. I rode it home in a huge downpour the other day, and had no problems with handling or braking. It rode very well. I use the other bike to commute to work most days, and this one for more recreational, although I do commute with the Scott also. I prefer the Scott on windy days, it just gets me there faster and with a little less effort. A couple of gripes I have is 1: the front shifter to go to the larger gear up front has to be pushed quite far, and twice, to get the gear chain to change, I would think that better components would not have as much force needed? This is probably normal, but if I have to change quickly, it's not going to happen as it does take several seconds to get the chain to move up, and 2: there is a slight separation of the handle bar tape, where one loop is sliding off or creating a gap in the middle of the handle. Not too big a deal, I don't think it will get any worse.
You can feel the bumps in the road, but then, if you lived in Oklahoma, with all the pot holes and cracks, you'd feel them on any bike, so this isn't really a gripe, but just a comment; meaning, it doesn't smooth them out like the web site says it should. Overall, I really enjoy riding this bike, but I sometimes wish it was a little faster. For what I do, commuting or just riding about town or to the bank, it is a great bike. As a matter of fact, while riding this morning, I was quite thrilled about the turning of the bike, it has a smooth, quick turning that just felt right.
