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

Over the years, we've tested countless versions of the SCOTT Ransom. With its 170 mm travel it has always had to face a very capable and rowdy competition, but how did it fare against a more restrained test field in our group test? In typical SCOTT fashion, the Ransom is very light despite the burly FOX 38 fork and wide 2.6” tires, but does it still stand a chance uphill?
Incredibly stylish and eye-catching look
Intuitive handling
Comfortable and fast on long tours
Undefined handling at high speeds
Lever ergonomics in the cockpit
Inconsistent spec

The Ransom eRIDE delivers the all-round capabilities that you'd typically expect from bikes with less travel.
Highly capable all-rounder.
Plush suspension with nice progression for big hit performance.
Steep seat tube and long chainstays make steepest climbs climbable.
Clacking motor (although not as noisy as on some other frames).
Purion display out-of-date.
Technically not approved for bike park usage

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.

The shuttle bike that isn’t afraid to pedal

One of the most versatile, fun to ride and beautiful bikes we've ridden! The new Scott Ransom does everything well and excels in certain areas, making it our bike of the year.

The Scott Ransom replaces the old Genius LT and builds on the success of the shorter travel Genius and Spark (our previous Trail Bike of the Year winners).
Agile, yet very capable
Suspension isn’t balanced
