This is really cool. I've been wanting to trace the family roots, but I'm not real big on the touristy kind of thing. As an avid cyclist (more of a roadie but I do like to dabble in MTBing), this looks like a perfect way to explore Scotland. It reminds me a lot of where I live, North Carolina.

Your grind could be a bit finer, get a longer extraction

Scotty reviewing Scott in Scotland.

Absolutly amazing! But long time no new stuff?😢 Is the channel still alive? Greetz from Bavaria an keep on:)

Seem a mountain biker up beside loch callater yesterday... Wasn't you was it ????

that drop on shredo is nuts. Where Scotty landed it, It's probably about 12 feet, with rather flat landing.

My favourite MTB ride in the world. Im so lucky to have ridden it in glorious sunshine and not a single midge in sight!

7:37 I just bought this frameset and I’m excited to built it up!

These guys never showed the bike

How many trails are here? Thx

Rode this trail yesterday. In snail speed - and I cannot believe your speed there. Incredible! 😊

I just did my first test ride on this bike and my mind was blown. I almost don't want to love it as much as I do with the internal headset routing. How bad are those to work with?

SiiiiiiiiiiiK! Bucket list trip for sure!!!

Gorgeous enduro bike!

Nice video - but remember, Loch Avon is pronounced Loch 'Ann' :)

Have you added anything to your bike shop? If so, can you do a tour of the bike shop. Love to see it

Just bought a pair of rapid rob

You need to work more with camera angle. How wants to follow watching the ground!

I'm stuck between a ransom 920 or a stumpy evo

Hands down the best riding in the UK that nobody knows about or they didn’t until recently. Great to see people riding big mountain stuff which is the essence of MTB in Scotland especially on a fantastic sunny day. Also great to see you switch from a bum bag to a proper pack for the mountains which is a nod to the fact that the consequences are far greater and the kit needed more comprehensive. So many MTB videos show people with no kit up a mountain, terrible example to set. This video sums up what is so world class about Aberdeenshire, the sheer scale of trails and types of trails is mind blowing.

Finally someone talking about a green agenda that actually makes sense and isn’t based on convenient science and agenda’s. It couldn’t be simpler, if you believe CO2 is the issue and trees feed on the stuff then plant more trees! Not convinced by the term “climate breakdown” but the other stuff is tangible and common sense. As for the trails well yes from Aberdeenshire right across to the west there are a vast amount of trails everywhere along with huge mountain days out. Mind blowing and a place I lived for 10 years and really miss. Along with the Lake District it’s the best riding in Britain 👍

I dont suppose you would be kind enough to share a GPX of the route you did please? It looks a truely amazing ride! Thanks.

The music is terrible

🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇾🇪🇾🇪

Beautiful build. Built exactly the way the bike should have come stock

Hi, I would like to know where I can buy the green Scott helmet, camera kit? thanks daniel

Is this Fox 34 100 mm travel?

What camera are you using now? Gopro or dji

Superb video 👌

Seriously well edited footage..well done lads awesome stuff. Yo from NZ

Do you need to mount the camera upside down in that chest mount? Or there is enough room for angle adjustment in the normal position? There is less leverage in normal position so it should shake less.

Another pne I really enjoyed!

Ah! Product placement. Almost fell for it.

This is awesome Scotty, this is exactl what I enjoy doing as well

Great video next time you are back head up north coast to ballycastle

Liked and subscribed. Cracking video. Keep her lit

Great review! Thanks

In my opinion Harris is the most beautiful part of Scotland and the sense of Community is it's greatest trait well that and Amhuinnsuidhe Castle Estate where I was lucky enough to fish for Salmon & Sea trout on a number of occasions when I was a Bank Manager in Stornoway. I was a member of the Clay Pigeon shooting Club in Harris and the vista from the shooting grounds was epic. I never did cycle when I was there but hope to return some day to do so before my body will not let me. It is nearly twenty years since I last drove off a Ferry to the Isles. I also had one of the best fillet steaks of my life in Rhenigidale when a visiting Chef from London had come up for a wedding and was still in Residence before flying home. I had heard of that path but never attempted it as any walk without a rod & reel was not on my agenda in those days. Another great film that I hope encourages more people to explore the Scottish Islands.

This is awesome! This form of mountain biking is SO much more interesting that the run of the mill shreddit

Hey scotty, I can’t find the frame size you’re riding anywhere…I’m 186cm and between L and XL. Any recommendations on that?

We have failed twice to do the full Sligachan ride due to weather. We have done the Postman’s oath but Nikki fractured her ankle on the way out so was a slow day back :)

How do I get the bike!

How do I get the bike. USA nothing available till August 🤡

I have a 2019 Ransom Tuned and still love every bit of my bike. I bet this new version is just as sick or I would expect “better”. The internal real shock is pretty cool. Beautiful bike you have there.

Size of tire is it 2.4?

Love how you guys come tear up the trails in my homeland 😅😅😅😅😅❤️👊🏼

Going to visit Ireland at the end of the month and was wondering what and where to ride. This is video is awesome! Thanks!!

compared to my 2020 Ransom (Tuned also with 170mm travel) this pig of a bike is about 2 kg heavier and $2 k more expensive. The crazy complex and heavy six bar suspension is a ticking time bomb. Yeah, this may be a great ride initially but wait a couple of years when you need to take apart the suspension using special tools including dentistry mirrors. If the new Ransom is the answer, then what was the question? I would maybe pay this money if the bike had gotten 2kg lighter but instead it has become 2kg heavier! What kind of enduro rider really wishes to hide the shock? If anything, it would make more sense to protect the fork. I did manage to get scratches on fork stanchions but never had a problem with my rear shock. Objectively: this is heavy, complex and expensive pig. Scott must be desperate to try to find a new user base. Maybe they are successful provided the unique nature of the hidden shock design. I have yet to find current Ransom riders looking forward to this mess. And the bike mechanics fixing the current Genius and Sparks using the same technology are not exactly enthused about this new design. The only good thing for them is that any repair related to shock and headsets take much longer and so they can charge more. But finally, subjectively speaking, the hardtail eBike optics are not doing much for me either. No more Scott for me.

Damn, awesome video and very good flowy riding! Torridon also has a place in my heart as family took me there up to Glen Affric a few times and now I'd love to venture my self soon. Just got a good hard tail bike recently, your bike looks like an amazing FS enduro bike. Do you think a good hardtail could still manage this trail? I know it'll be rougher and harder to do mind you. Cheers!
