Summary
The Scott Ransom is a versatile enduro bike praised for its innovative suspension design, excellent downhill performance, and surprising climbing efficiency. Its adjustable geometry and unique features like the Trac-Loc suspension remote cater to a wide range of riding styles, from freeride to trail biking. However, its high price tag and some design complexities may deter some riders.
Innovative 6-bar suspension design
Excellent downhill performance
Good climbing ability in Climb mode
Adjustable geometry
Unique Trac-Loc suspension remote
High price tag
Design complexities like headset cable routing
Weight compromise in Climb mode
This is genuinely the single most important feature of the new Ransom.
BikerumorThe Ransom can charge hard and soak up some of the roughest terrain.
Flow Mountain BikeIt climbs way better than you'd expect for the travel, yet takes full advantage of every millimetre on the descents.Pinkbike

Best climber in the analogue test field
Clever detail solutions
Next-level integration
Very demanding to ride
Enclosed shock adds complexity and makes it harder to service the bike
Mar 2024
With its hidden shock and curious 6-bar suspension linkage, the Scott Ransom offers a remarkable degree of versatility for a big enduro bike.
Unique frame design
Great pedal efficiency for a big enduro bike
Mullet compatibility
Adjustable head angle
Syncros Matchbox Tool Kit included with bike
Great tyre spec
The one-piece cockpit limits adjustability
Headset cable routing will turn off some riders
Rear wheel lost spoke tension

I review the all-new Scott Ransom 900 RC enduro bike & was blown away by 1 key tech feature. What is Trac-Loc & why I need it on all my bikes?
Feb 2024 · Marco Toniolo
The Scott Ransom was the Swiss brand's latest full suspended mountan bike that was not given the all-integrated look we saw for the Spark and Genius (with the exception of the Gambler).
Feb 2024 · Seb Stott
The new Ransom combines long-travel capability with impressive climbing composure.
Long-travel yet well-controlled suspension boosts downhill capability
Stable but balanced geometry with useful adjustability
Pedal-efficient suspension, which benefits from but doesn't rely on the TracLoc shock, makes for one of the best climbing enduro bikes
Shock is protected from mud and debris
I needed the saddle fully forward to reach my preferred position
Six-bar suspension and headset cable routing could be tricky to work on
Not exactly great value on paper
Jun 2022 · Alex Evans
It’s fun and intuitive to ride, but isn’t quite as calm or controlled on trails as the suspension travel and component spec would lead you to believe
Intuitive to ride quickly
Bosch motor feels great
Fox dampers are easy to set up
Mostly well-specced
Tyre traction very limited
Undamped and harsh ride at times
Tall frame limits size choice
