That bike has the paint job of a Scott Genius. Off the rack, that's a $3400 bike. His sponsors came through with upgrades for his wheel set, tires, brakes etc... I don't know which wheels he got but the Mavic DeeMax line runs from like $700 -1100 a pair. I don't know if they upgraded his suspension, bikes can cost a lot more. If you watch the series you'll see it get professionally dialed in and tuned which means a lot. His physical and mental transformation over the course of the series is pretty impressive. A great bike can only do so much.
