Summary
The Scott Ransom is a highly versatile enduro bike praised for its plush suspension, adjustable geometry, and ability to handle a wide range of terrains. It offers a mix of confidence and stability, making it suitable for both technical trails and long tours. The bike's design and performance have been refined over the years, earning it recognition as one of Scott's best enduro bikes.
Plush suspension with nice progression for big hit performance
Adjustable geometry via flip chip
Versatile performance on various terrains
Lightweight frame and complete bike
Integrated features and frame protection
Cluttered cockpit due to TwinLoc system
Tyre traction very limited in some conditions
Undamped and harsh ride at times
Tall frame limits size choice
The Ransom strikes me as a very technical bike.
It’s a shame such a small spec choice has had such a profound impact on how it rides.
Scott has revolutionized the way riders control their bike’s performance on the trail.
With 170mm of travel on tap and the ability to morph itself at the push of a lever, Scott's new Ransom is the best all-mountain/enduro bike the company has created.

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

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Purion display out-of-date.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

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.

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 […]
Efficient and light-footed climber
Plush suspension
Predictable handling
The Descend mode lacks support
Expensive
The TwinLoc system isn't necessary on the fork
Tires feel a little vague for some riders

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.
