I bought this Scott 970 almost two months ago, yesterday during a ride the freehub just failed. Weird thing is that it was while descending after a 40 mile climb (thank god it was in descend)
It feels a little vibration when the pedals are spinning.
I'm not wrong is not normal for a hub to fail this soon right? I'm almost sure warranty is not going to cover it. How much $ am I expecting to spend here?
Thanks in advance guys
Freehub died on a ride (relatively new bike)

Why would you be so sure? Give Scott a shout. Of course this shouldn’t happen to a two-month-old bike.
In the meantime, I’d pull the wheel off and inspect. If you can remove the freehub easily, then I’d inspect the drive ring and pawls (some freehub bodies can just be pulled off).

However, I would contact the hub manufacturer
Hub (Front)
* Formula CL-51

if they will honor a warranty
