SCOTT RANSOM 920 - 29" Mountainbike - 2019

The Ransom is back! With 170 mm travel and a revised frame, it is an extremely light all-rounder for the very big mountains - and the absolute winner for even the toughest enduro races.

This SCOTT bike is equipped with a 1x12-speed SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain, FOX 36 Float Performance Air suspension fork, a FOX NUDE T EVOL Trunnion shock, hydraulic Shimano MT520 disc brakes, a Syncros dropper post and more Syncros components.

Key Features:

• Aluminum frame
• TwinLoc Facelift
• Shimano 4-piston brakes
• Syncros Revelstoke 2.5 wheelset
• SRAM DUB BB and crankset

Frame protection played an important role in the development of the Ransom. An integrated protector under the bottom bracket protects this sensitive area. A specially developed chain stay and seat stay protector is implemented to ensure a smooth ride.

Thanks to the TwinLoc suspension system the rider can effectively control the frame, fork and damper as a complete system. The additional control provides extra riding fun, especially downhill. TwinLoc allows a nuanced fine adjustment of the suspension. Furthermore, not only the compression damping can be changed, but also the spring characteristics to dynamically change the geometry of the bike.

The Boost standard improves the wheel stiffness and allows an increased tire clearance. The added clearance to the chainstay area allows a significant increasing of the chainstay cross-section, enhancing stiffness of the frame, while at the same time allowing short chain stays.

The Virtual 4-Link Design combines balance and control. The pedalling and braking efficiency is improved and ensures that the suspension system can operate at maximum efficiency. The kinematic suspension curve compensates for small bumps, providing excellent traction, perfect mid-travel support and controlled deep travel for predictable compression and more comfort.

The Trunnion standard provides metric damper size standards and improved mounting. The result is that the damper has more stroke at the same size. Trunnion also offers structural gains. Shorter dampers allow SCOTT to build very compact frames.

The integrated Chain Guide was developed in collaboration with the SCOTT SRAM MTB Racing Team. The idea behind was to create a reliable component that helps to avoid dropping chains. It weighs just about 23 grams and is easy to assemble thanks to the smart assembly system and can accommodate chain rings from 30 to 36 teeth.

Furthermore the 29" wheels offer improved rolling characteristics. The big wheels are great for rolling over nasty roots and rocky sections, essentially making it easier to ride these conditions. Improved traction is also a key factor with the increased wheel diameter compared to 26" wheels as tire contact to the ground is larger.

If required, this model can be converted from 29" to 27.5" wheels. You don't have to change the fork, all you have to do is make a small adjustment to the damper, change your wheels and off you go. The damper adjustment ensures a similar bottom bracket height when changing wheels, so the handling remains almost identical for both wheel sizes.
