Scott Mountain bike Purgatory can be found in one single color which is Dark blue.
This bike is equiped with 26 x 1.95" Kenda tires and Steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Alex VP-20, 36-hole. Scott equiped this exact model with Shimano Altus brakes, Shimano AceraX levers braking system and Shimano Altus hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Scott used Tange chromoly material for the frame. Hi-tensile steel high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Purgatory to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Hi-tensile steel.
