Finally!!!
After months of waiting (the first pair gold sold by mistake to a friend of mine) the Scott rc sticks are mine
Damn I feel good!
At a flyweight of just 58 grams and at a price of 30 euro they are great. and lighter than the Tune ones!
Cant wait to fit them on to my project bike

I paid 19 euro for mine
, and I recived them after a couple of days. Only difference is, that they are branded XLC and not Scott.

i own a scott rc stix from 3 months and i can say they´re a bullshit. They´re only suitable for small hand riders, not for cipollini type sprints or long climbing. Extralite and tune much better and WAAAAYYY longer and bigger diameter.
Happy trails !!!!!

I disagree. Just thought about cutting 5 mm off. By the way, they are so much better than my old WCS.

agree on that. i domoed my friends bike with these stuff, and they are a way too skinny to do their job well.
i'll probalby stay "barendless."
