The largest Scott frame size is 609.7mm stack with 406.1mm reach.
Compare that to a common offering like the Trek Checkpoint where 609mm of stack height means a 391mm reach which is in their second largest size. The Checkpoint in the largest size is 638mm stack and 397mm reach. So it is 2cm taller stack and 1cm shorter reach.
The Trek Domane endurance bike with 611mm of stack has 380mm of reach which is significantly more upright than the Scott gravel bike. Even the largest Domane with 646mm of stack only has 385mm of reach.


The Scott is definitely on the aggressive side of things when it comes to stack and reach.
It also inexplicably doesnt show the fork rake or overall bike's trail measurement. That is just something I cant stand- there is no justification for not including such numbers at this point- its 2022. How a bike is expected to feel when steering should be given in the geometry tables. Its kind of important.
