The bike market is more vibrant and full of innovation than ever before. The multitude of styles and philosophies to draw from when conceptualizing a frame all but ensures that there is a bike out there for everyone. I usually opt for a more “North American-style” practicality when it comes to mountain bikes—simple suspension designs, easy cable routing, utilitarian aesthetics. However, there is also the other side of the engineering spectrum available to enjoy: the busy, feature-packed, and tech-savvy envelope-pushing work of the team at Scott Sports. Look no further than the Scott Ransom 900, an incredibly techy bike designed to be the ultimate enduro machine, as an example of this approach to design. With 170 millimeters of travel both front and rear, the Ransom is on the longer travel side of the enduro world. Though, it features a unique travel adjustment lever, which switches it between 170 millimeters and 130 millimeters of rear travel, making it much more versatile than more run-of-the-mill machines. With the Ransom, you get a hidden shock, in-frame storage, travel adjustment, six-bar linkage, flip chips, an integrated bar and stem combo, BB-concentric main pivot, adjustable geometry, room for a water bottle—must I go on? This all adds up to a bike that acts as a constant trailside conversation starter as fellow riders gawk at what looks like an e-bike, but is actually something much more intriguing.
