A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Scott Ransom 920 review

Aug 2021 · Robin Weaver

The Ransom loves the rough stuff, but more mid-stroke support would better balance the ride

Highs
  • Really capable when things get steep and rough

  • Great tyre combination

  • TwinLoc remote helps to tame all the travel and make the Ransom an efficient climber

Lows
  • Hard to get the suspension properly balanced

  • Not everyone will like the additional handlebar clutter the TwinLoc system brings

  • Spec isn’t great for the money

SCOTT Ransom 920 in review

Jul 2019 · Christoph Bayer

Plush 170 mm travel, 29″ wheels, slack head angle and sophisticated features: the SCOTT Ransom promises to be a capable Enduro bike. We wanted to find out if it could deliver on the trail and we were in for a surprise. Here you’ll find an overview of the best budget enduro bike 2019 in test […]

Highs
  • Efficient and light-footed climber

  • Plush suspension

  • Predictable handling

Lows
  • The Descend mode lacks support

  • Expensive

  • The TwinLoc system isn't necessary on the fork

  • Tires feel a little vague for some riders

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.
