Bike Radar said about the Scott Aspect 940

the Scott aspect 940 might be at the budget end of Scotts range but it does a really impressive job of looking like it's more expensive siblings. The 2018 Aspect 940 has a nicely made aluminum frame which uses 29 wheels, which is really good. They help smooth out the bumps. They get the best feedback. They also calm down the handling a little bit. So, if you're maybe a little bit more nervous, you'll get less of a twitchy feel from the bike.

Something Scott's done really well is that they've put pretty good geometry similar to they're more expensive bikes. On the Aspect 940 bike they just made it short and steep and a sort of low bottom bracket that makes the bike comfortable for beginners. The only downside is it's quite heavy. But that's just a function of the spec. That said, the spec might be heavy, but it works really well. This is a bike that's right for a bit of upgrading.
