CTM Skaut 30 Pro 29-inch trail mountain bike — air suspension for your setup and a dropper for descents:

Key features

• Suspension travel: 140 mm front / 130 mm rear
• Fork: RockShox Pike Base Rush SC DebonAir
• Rear shock: RockShox Super Deluxe Base R Linear Air
• Drivetrain: Shimano 1 x 12
• Brakes: Shimano BR-MT420 hydraulic / SMRT54M
• Seatpost: EXA Form KSP900 dropper

Set up both ends of the suspension

The Skaut 30 Pro combines 140 mm of fork travel with 130 mm of rear frame travel. An air-sprung RockShox Pike Base Rush SC DebonAir fork works with a RockShox Super Deluxe Base R Linear Air rear shock. Set pressures and damping according to the component instructions and your weight, with help from a workshop that services these suspension systems.

The frame uses a four-link suspension layout. Check its pivots, bearings and shock mountings alongside the fork, brakes and wheel fixings. Follow the service intervals for the fitted components.

Choose a gear for the climb

A 32T chainring and 10–51T cassette give you a choice of ratios for changing gradients. The single-chainring drivetrain uses one shifter, so there is no front derailleur to operate.

More room above the saddle on descents

The EXA Form KSP900 dropper lets you lower the saddle before a descent and raise it again for pedalling. Travel is 125 mm on Small, 150 mm on Medium and 175 mm on Large and XL. Check saddle height and control positions during setup.

Find the frame size that suits you

The suggested rider height is approximately 155–165 cm for Small, 165–175 cm for Medium, 175–185 cm for Large and 185–205 cm for XL. Compare reach, standover clearance and your preferred position with a bike you know. Height alone does not determine fit.

Have the hydraulic brakes adjusted and test them before every ride. Choose trails within the bike’s intended use and your ability, and inspect the bike after hard impacts.

Safety while riding

Riding, falls and impacts put loads through the bike and can damage components. No bike is indestructible: parts can wear out or become damaged. Check the frame, fork, bars, wheels, axles, cranks, pedals, brakes and bolted connections before every ride. Inspect the bike after a hard impact and stop riding if you find looseness, cracks or damage. Have any problem checked and repaired before riding again.

Wear a properly fitted helmet and suitable protective pads. Read our important information before buying and using a bike for assembly, servicing and riding checks.
