Summary
The Scott Ransom is a highly versatile enduro bike, praised for its aggressive geometry, long travel, and the innovative TwinLoc suspension system that enhances both climbing efficiency and descending prowess. It's available in both 29er and 27.5-inch wheel sizes, catering to a wide range of preferences and riding styles. While it excels in steep and rough terrain, some reviews note challenges with suspension balance and cockpit clutter due to the TwinLoc system.

Innovative features like Ramp Control for suspension adjustment
High-quality components for reliable performance
Suspension balance can be challenging to dial in
TwinLoc system adds complexity and cockpit clutter
Some models may lack mid-stroke support in the rear suspension
Value proposition questioned compared to competitors
The bike you see here is a homewrecker. It’s the bridesmaid I met just before I left the bride standing at the altar.
BIKE MagazineScott’s Ransom 920 is a sleek looking machine but its geometry could be improved upon and its value isn’t the best when compared to other similarly priced bikes.
BikeRadarThe Ransom is an incredible machine that makes it easy for you to carry speed in any terrain. The bumpier and nastier, the better.

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

Get your kids up to speed and shredding hard with the new Ransom 400 & 600, with pro-level, kid-specific geometry, suspension and components!

The all-new Future Pro Ransom's balanced geometry paired with long-travel, custom-tuned suspension and dropper seatpost, the adjustability to run 24" or 26" wheels and tailored components means no rider is too young to show the trail what they're made of! .

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.
Very efficient climber despite the long travel
Very balanced on the descents with 27.5“ wheels
Colour 😍
29” wheels are too big for size S
Position of the dropper post remote

Travis Engel's Scott Ransom is still his one and only, marking the first time we've picked the same bike for a Dream Build two years in a row.

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.
