This bike is equiped with 26 x 1.95" Tioga Psycho TT tires and Stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Mavic 238, 32-hole. Scott equiped this exact model with Shimano Alivio M-System brakes, Shimano Alivio levers braking system and Front: aluminum, Rear: Shimano STX-RC hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Scott used Tange chromoly, double-butted material for the frame. Aluminum high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Vail to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Chromoly.
