I had decided that I wanted a Reaction, that was until I went to the Scott demo day today.

I have between 2-3k to spend.

Looking at a cube gtc slt or a Scott scale 910, of which is £800 more..

Are Scott's worth it?

Anything else to consider.

Cheers

    Little bias here as i have the Scott Scale and couldn't recommend it highly enough but both good bikes, spending this kind of money is just minor differences but for a saving of £800 the Cube is a no brainer.

    Actually when you weight it up the Scott has £1000 forks and the cube has 400. There you go

    CTD looks like a poor choice of fork for a bike like that.

    I have had the Scott 910 since December and I love it, I really couldn't be more impressed with it...

    I am confident that if you get one, you will not regret it :)

    Thats not a reasonable comparison. Rockshox forks are much cheaper than the equivalent Fox fork with the same features. Fox forks are no better quality than Rockshox.

    The SID has a fully adjustable low speed compression dial. This is a very good forks.

    No. Look it up, it's a 3 setting adjuster removing fine tuning capability. I very much doubt on a bike like this that you'll ever use the settings like they are supposed to be used.
