October 17, 201411 yr Not that the Scott is ever easy but I just wondered what other riders thoughts are. On the late 70s / early 80s Bultos you had a nice seat to sit on and have a rest on the faster bits or the course and even when legging you could get a decent stride / push whilst seated The monshock TY yams were a bit lower but still had a usable seat. Although the modern bikes are lighter they are much harder to sit down on and get a rest, and nearly impossible to leg when in the seated position, I am 6 ft tall which is nothing exceptional but on both Beta and Gasgas I find it nearly impossible to ride or leg seated, find my legs uncomfortably bent and even catch my knees on the footrests when legging.
