Scott is revamping the Strike, taking a slightly different approach than with the increasingly extreme e-mountain bikes on the market. Instead of maximizing downhill performance, the focus is on delivering the most straightforward and comfortable ride possible. At the same time, the new Strike is designed to offer plenty of reserves should a leisurely ride turn into a more challenging trail ride. To achieve this, Scott combines a relaxed geometry with a sturdy aluminum frame and 150 millimeters of travel at the front and rear.

The frame has been completely redesigned. The motor mount and seat tube form a single-piece cast component. In this way, Scott reduces the number of welds while aiming to improve stiffness, durability, and manufacturing precision. The shock is partially housed within the frame. According to the manufacturer, this semi-integrated design lowers the center of gravity and is intended to contribute to more stable handling. The four-bar linkage features a deliberately linear characteristic curve designed to deliver comfort and predictable handling even on technical trails.

Bosch delivers up to 120 Newton-meters

Power is provided by the Bosch Performance Line CX. With the Performance Upgrade, the motor delivers up to 750 watts of peak power and 120 Newton-meters of torque. Maximum assistance is 600 percent. This gives the Strike ample reserves for steep climbs without positioning itself as a no-compromise e-enduro.

Depending on the model, Scott uses batteries with different capacities. The Strike 10, Strike 20, and Strike 30 come with a Bosch PowerTube with 800 watt-hours. The more affordable Strike 40 has 720 watt-hours. All batteries can be removed from the down tube. Additionally, the frame is prepared for the Bosch PowerMore Range Extender, which adds another 250 watt-hours. This allows the capacity of models with a large main battery to be expanded to up to 1,050 watt-hours.

In terms of geometry, Scott stays on the modern but not extreme side. The head angle is 64.8 degrees across all four frame sizes, and the seat tube angle is 77 degrees. The chainstays measure 465 millimeters. The Strike rides on 29-inch wheels and is available in sizes Small through Extra Large.

Maintenance is designed to remain straightforward

Despite the integrated design, Scott prioritizes easy maintenance. Electrical cables run through the headset and top tube, while mechanical cables run partially on the outside and enter the down tube via a guide. Magnetically guided covers can be opened without tools. The motor guard is particularly robust; Scott describes it as the thickest the brand has ever used.

The Strike is also equipped for everyday use. Connections for front and rear lights are already wired, and the rear triangle features a reinforced mount for a side stand. Additional mounting points on the down tube accommodate tools or accessories. Fenders can also be mounted. This ensures the Strike performs well not only on the trail but also on tours and in everyday use.

Scott offers four trim levels. The Strike 10 is the top-of-the-line model and combines, among other features, Fox suspension, Shimano XT shifting, and four-piston brakes with an 800-watt-hour battery. Below that are the Strike 20 and Strike 30, while the Strike 40 serves as the entry-level model. Depending on the configuration, the listed weight ranges from approximately 24.8 to 25.7 kilograms. Scott has not yet provided prices in the available documentation.
