Been trying my hardest to get hold of one of these, but Scotts new distribution methods in the UK make it impossible to find an XL World Cup without ringing every dealer there is. Frustrating to say the least!
The bikes are supposed to be available next year I think. So it'll be hard to get one now, and if we consider materials shortages and covid...talentdeficient wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 10:03 amBeen trying my hardest to get hold of one of these, but Scotts new distribution methods in the UK make it impossible to find an XL World Cup without ringing every dealer there is.

Ok found the answer here:

http://carbonexperts.scott-sports.com/i ... mx_hmf.jpgHMX-SL utilizes Nano-technology, which incorporates a carbon nanotube reinforced epoxy resin as well as T1000G carbon fiber. The carbon nanotubes offer an improved strength perpendicular and at off-axis to fiber direction, which allows for a better inter-laminar shear strength. The cohesion between the fibers is improved compared to our industry leading HMX carbon blend offering an unprecedented resistance. T1000G is the world's highest tensile strength fiber. This fiber is traditionally used for aerospace or defense applications. Strategic use of this new material results in a frame that is lightweight without compromise in power transfer.

Friend of mine has ordered two, delivery *about* easter time. One AXS equipped (not sure which one) and an eagle (GX?) equipped one.
Means he'll be selling both his current ones (bought last august), which are too small for me.

Haven´t ridden MTB for 4 years or so. I was smiling the whole hour today, when riding this thing.
Handlebar and grips need to be changed.

I've got mine aswell (for over 3 weeks now), it's a so called testbike that i will keep, Team Issue AXS. Now with Silverton SL wheels (owned by the shop), i will go for dt240 and duke rims.
It's a very capable machine, very stiff for a FS. Impressed how well it rides even in the open mode, in the saddle you dont feel you are riding with a 120mm bike. Now the reach got longer i'm finally able to ride some shorter stem, the handling with a 60mm pen (standard in medium) is so sharp.
For some local trails it's maybe al little overkill, but it still feels like a XC machine, just capable of doing better at the downhills.
Downsides: the bike is quite low to the ground, hitting the ground with my cranks is more common then on my Top Fuel. And the bike had to go on a diet, with the standard aluminium wheels it was dang heavy.
