It was a game shaker way-back then, and now in 2019 SCOTT are raising the bar once again. Designed to conquer mountains, and charge along uncharted paths, the 2019 Ransom is a must have for any enduro\/trail rider. Its stiffer and has more suspension travel, versus the SCOTT\u2019s Genius range.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uYJC10AmEhs\" width=\"945\" height=\"532\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The 2019 Ransom rolls out with both carbon fibre and alloy frames in its range. In the carbon models, SCOTT have focused on strengthening the down-tube and chain-stay of the frame. While skimming off weight along the top-tube\u2019s design. They reckon this creates a more versatile and stronger ride.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2543340168475428\" data-ad-slot=\"9215839881\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/dfp2hfrf3mn0u.cloudfront.net\/car\/carbon-stiffness-1140x650-1447487_original_1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>SCOTT have introduced the Ransom with progressive suspension travel. \u00a0On several Ransom and Genius models, you\u2019ll find the all new FOX NUDE TR EVOL. What the TR allows you to do is to select what sort of progression you would like in Descend mode: more linear, or more progressive. By flipping the Ramp Adjust Lever, you can decide how your shock behaves while descending.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d3m303jms8wnir.cloudfront.net\/pages\/ransom\/fox-nude-linear-825x600.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The enduro factor of the bike, gets displayed immensely through the Ransom\u2019s suspension. The 170mm front and rear shock travel, are capable of matching any terrain. And when you\u2019re in race mode you can control your shocks with SCOTT\u2019s TwinLoc remote lock-out, system.<\/p>\n<p>The brand has lastly revised the contact area of the bike. Where body meets bike. Up front, SCOTT have place their stiffened-up, HIXON IC 1.0 RISE handlebars. For a lighter design, and better handling. Their TOFINO saddle aboard the Ransom has also had a lot of thought and research stuffed into it. It brings relief to certain pressured areas when seated and allows you to be more flexible on the bike.<br \/>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2543340168475428\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9215839881\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d3m303jms8wnir.cloudfront.net\/pages\/ransom\/syncros-hixon-768x768.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The 2019 SCOTT Ransom range has been launched in 6 differently spec\u2019d models.
