Review: Scott Ransom eRIDE 910 – A Versatile Long-Travel Machine

Mar 2021 · Ralf Hauser

The Ransom eRIDE delivers the all-round capabilities that you'd typically expect from bikes with less travel.

Highs
  • Highly capable all-rounder.

  • Plush suspension with nice progression for big hit performance.

  • Steep seat tube and long chainstays make steepest climbs climbable.

Lows
  • Clacking motor (although not as noisy as on some other frames).

  • Purion display out-of-date.

  • Technically not approved for bike park usage

SCOTT Contessa Ransom 910 on test – bigger isn't always better!

Jul 2020 · Antonia Buckenlei

The SCOTT Contessa Ransom 910 is one of the few women's specific enduro bikes on the market, but what sets it apart? Our 160 cm tall test rider, Antonia, put the Contessa to the test and made some interesting observations.

Highs
  • Very efficient climber despite the long travel

  • Very balanced on the descents with 27.5“ wheels

  • Colour 😍

Lows
  • 29” wheels are too big for size S

  • Position of the dropper post remote

Scott Ransom 910 review

Jul 2019 · Seb Stott

Quick climber and potentially flat-out on descents, but let down by mismatched suspension

Highs
  • Super-supple rear suspension maintains momentum while holding travel in reserve

  • Stable and confidence-inspiring on fast, rough straights

Lows
  • Rear suspension lacks support, so the bike pitches backwards in turns

  • Slack(ish) seat angle and soft back-end make for lazy pedalling unless locked out

Bike Review | Scott Ransom 910

May 2019 · Spencer Johnson

If the Scott Ransom is a bike that you’re unfamiliar with, you’re not alone. That’s in part due to the fact that before this year, the bike was last produced in 2006. The 2019 model comes with more suspension, bigger wheels, and a list of adjustments that help it stand out from the noise. The Ransom strikes me as a very technical bike. There are many adjustments to be made to the suspension, shock linkage, wheel size and rear spring curve. I imagine while listing the attributes Scott wanted for the new Ransom, the engineers made a long list and said, “Yes, all of it.” This is not a bike that was slapped together, but a project designed to push the envelope in a sensible way. This Ransom 910 features a complex twin lock system that actuates the front fork and rear shock simultaneously with two adjustments. With the flip of your left thumb you can send the bike into one of two setups. The first is a firmer “traction mode” which effectively lifts the bottom bracket height and firms the suspension. The second is a full lockout mode—front and rear. The rear shock features an additional adjustment that I haven’t experienced before. The Fox Nude rear shock has a ramp adjustment that changes the size of the shock’s air chamber to give a more linear feel or progressive ramp. Riders are also able to pick their wheel size. The bike that was tested came with 29 inch hoops, but you can also opt to run 27.5 wheels if that’s your thing.
