The 2019 Scott Ransom is built for speed. Riding on the new Fox Nude TR Evol shock it offers supremely progressive descending, and can be tuned to exactly how you like it. The Scott Twinloc system comes as standard, enabling you to climb like you would on a lightweight XC bike, and has an updated control for the handlebar. Additionally it has a traction control setting which keeps the bike stiff but allows for sudden changes of terrain.
The Ransom also accepts both 27.5 and 29” wheels with an easily exchanged flipchip on the linkage. Neil will probably use 29” wheels in Finale Ligure to challenge the likes of Sam Hill and Martin Maes for the crown at the last round of the EWS.

Stunning.
Cool is there a giveway
Exactly what scott needed since the genius could of been seen as a more trail bike rather than a enduro bike, good to see it happen.
354mm bb wtf? new fulsus tallbike from scott :-D this bike is so much capable in enduro as knife in to a gunfight :-D #scottfail
Neil, your reach looks really short! What size are you running? What are your thoughts on the reach?
Where's the orange fox fork when we really needed it?
Agreed!
Awww man, I wanna learn how to shred like Neil and Blake. It looks like so much fun!
1:18 Blake blake blake🙏🏼😍👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻🤙🏻
Neil and Blake shredding! Christmas has come early! So much style and confidence! Well done lads ;)
The shock flip switch from progressive to linear is genius. Tokens are so yesterday.
no no no, it's Ransom, the Genius doesn't have that (yet) ;P
😂
I still have, and ride almost daily, my Scott Ransom 30 from 2009. Its an older bike for sure, but does everything i want it to do from trail riding to Blue and Red Downhill tracks. I have been looking for a new bike.... Maybe the new Scott Ransom is my next new bike!!
I also have the ransom 40 , and when i saw this new ransom i was angry because they modified an enduro bike in an xc bike
Matty21 The Best whatt????
Looks like Orange is the new Black for 2019.
I love orange
Just got a 960 Genius 2019. Wow wow wow. Fast bike! 29'ers are amazing now. They used to be wagon wheels but now the geo is sorted I don't think I would go back to 27. I have tested also the Yeti SB150 and it compares really well even not considering the price point (yes the Yeti has a better rear for small bumps). This bike would be even more of a weapon on the downhills... !
Neil you’re amazing
Neil Young amazing
I love watching Neil ride. So smooth, fast, stylish and he makes it all look so effortless!
I could happily just watch RAW riding footage of him blasting down the trails! ✊
Cheers dude
Agreed!! The Don is "le shit", as the French would say. LOL.
Sweet ride Neil ! Kudos to the camera work too - loving the edit.
No piggy back or coil, hard pass that shock probably gets about 300° Celsius
Rear shocks get hot?(I have no idea)
@@olivereng3532 Yeah, especially ones with a piggy back, the air has less space to move into and it's getting compressed in the shock therefore it gets heated up
The frame has space to run a piggback or coil if you want to
This would mean dropping Twin Lock though, right?
@@strangemobius yeah
Needs some single crown fox 40s. The 36 look more like 32s on this!
Seems slightly similar to the new Rocky Mountain slayer! The new generation of 170 mil bikes is awesome!
thats an xc shock on an enduro bike where is the piggyback. Rather have a beefier shock than twinlock. Nothing against scott but they always add tech nobody asked for. I wonder how the shock will hold up in the long run
Also wondering, if you would actually want to ride it hard and fast downhill, how could you add a bash guard since it has no iscg mount ?
Alex Dascalu don't bash into things
Well I can't say anything about the ransom here but when it comes to twinlock I've been liking it quite a lot on my genius. I've demoed other bikes that have the little levers on the fork/shock but barely ended up using them and not forgetting about them. For what/how I ride I love being able to switch my suspension up with a push of a button on my bars.
I have the old ransom 40 and the bike has a big shox , perfect for enduro or downhill. I put a 180 fork and its perfect for downhill
Really enjoying this series. Keep it up.
Thanks Raymond!
A quick question i noticed a large scrach on the chain stay behind the chain ring any clue how that got there seen in 3:49
Those trails are so gnarley
Now , the 2021 Ransom 920 is a killer too..
That bike is a beauty!
Great Video and review. I had a Scott mountain bike in the late '90s and Loved it. I think my next bike will be a Scott.
LOVE the cinematography in the GMBN videos lately!!!!!
Probably the sickests edits GMBN have made
You guys regularly seem to agree that 140mm is perfect for trail/bike parks, Neil and Blake both ride the Scott Genius, when would you/they swap the 150mm Genius for the new 170mm Ransom which is similar progressive geometry, actually a steeper seat angle and only slightly heavier? I've only ever had/have XC race bikes; 100mm HT, 90/100mm FS so really struggling to choose a bouncer!
I fell in love with the syncros hixon bar 😍
I owne 2020 930 up graded it has full Gx drive train RockShox nude rear shock PNW loam dropped 170mm on a medium frame loam bars and grips set up as 27.5 code r brakes .it rips .LOVE MY RANSOM .Sram RockShox tuned 930 .
Reggae and MTB just goes so well together :)
Uh, no.
Uh, yes 🤙🏼🤙🏼🌴🌴
Awesome video as always i just love watching gmbn. This motivates loads of people like myself. I have been so insparated that i have started my own CZcams channel thank you guys soo much i just love these videos
What a beast!
I have a Spark..great bike, but need to change the left grip..the integrated dropper lever is a pain
Editing on this one is fantastic.
Thanks aljowen!
Mate. That golf r estate is amazing. Nice bike too
Keep the mint vids up 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Lennon, we will 🤜
I've gone from 26" to 27.5" now to 29" and i have to say i like it.
Dream bike
so much love for the new bike
Great video keep up the good work 👌🏽
Cheers OliRothero! 👌
Awesome bike I have the 2019 Scott Genius 950
Hi Neil! now that a few years have past, has your opinion of the Ransom changed? are there better Enduro bikes on the market now?
omg I love the drone footage!!!
Basically a genius with 170mm travel. Can you run a piggy back shock with twin lock? If so, which one?
I'd love to see more reggae in your vids!!! It just makes all of the riding so much more sick!
Wow! Quite the bike.....BUT....it sounded more like an ad for the Scott Ransom than an objective review of why you've chosen to race it.
That said, the videography is SUPRA EXCELLENCE!! Kudos to your video team.
Neil is still "The Don" and Blake is still the Blakester! Superb riding that makes us mere mortals look lie....well.....mere mortals! :-)
JD Dallager he didn’t choose to race it. He’s sponsored by Scott bikes. It even says in the video that this is a paid promo
jke: Thanks! I missed that and am pleased to here that he chose NOT to race it. Mea culpa!!!! :-)
Let's have a go Neil!
I felt a slight movement in my trunks when I saw this bike. I want it! Too bad my budget is not up for the task.
😬
Sick bike! Wish I could get one.
Superb riding and edit!
Man I love that bike. The colour is awesome. I just don't understand why these bike companies are making things so complicated. Simple is best.
This is my dreambike! I love this! But I'm broke 😢
Awesome. I like that new tech
Nice!!!!
the scott bikes is the father of innovations, they should do evolution of their dt swiss equalizer and put it here. instead of this, they put tuned fox. personally, by the way, i dont like shock placement on frame. especially lower mount of shock.
Good luck on the race
This bike is from the future. Timelord confirmed.
I have the old scott ransom but new is awsome😍😍
Best bike
Hi Neil, I have a 2018 Genius which I find amazing... your new Ransom is making me envious. My question is, how tall are you and what size frame did you go for? Thanks
Nice , thought I recognised Billy's trail .
Nice bike! So how often do you find your self using the lock out remote?
On my Yeti SB 5+ I don’t seem to need to lock very often. I usually leave it in trail or open mode. Unless I am on a long fire road climb.
The bike looks sick
The fork should with the Fox Orange
Awesome bike
Love this bike sm looks amazing 💙
Already got a chip on the seat stay. Been giving it a breaking in?
can you guys do a vid on how to use training peaks?
How do you adjust the rear shock stiffness, like having it fully open, lightly rigid or fully locked out because its upside down? . I wouldn't want to be having to get off the bike just to change the rear shock setting. Is there something on the bars for it to be locked out or do you have to fiddle around with it to change it.
Awesome wish I could afford one
I prefer genius because ive just got one 150travel enough for me cheers
Attababy Neil! As always, a great bike check description and riding video. You were tinkering with 29" wheels on your Genius and that is what I am now running. It would be awesome to know your preference on the Ransom - 27.5 or 29? Hope all is well with you and yours. Keep up the great videos.
We know that Neil will be running the 29's during the races, so he probably prefers them, as on his Genius. Though we're not sure if he's tried the 27.5" wheels on the Ransom.
what a mental bike
I love this bike
That’s a cool bike
Nice!
PB's Privateer vs GMBN's The Don - Grudge match at Finale incoming !!
Well, we all know who would win that race 😉
Lovley bike but would miss not being able to adjust bars
Bello 👍
Hi Neil, are there bearings in upper shock mount ? Great bike imho :)
Top video! Cool. Like
why did you pick 29 inch wheels for the race Neil?
added to wishlist...
That's thing looks pinned! What pedals are you using?
26" dirt hard tail and 26" dh rulez!!
Nice
What size is the Ransom Neil is riding?
I dont have the money but I have kidneys :) Daz a beautiful bike!
It's like watching Top Gear, but about bikes. Nice one
Awesome 👍
Is Neil running this bike with 27.5 or a 29er in this Vid ?
Cool
Loved it
Nice vid.
You said it weighed 6250 grams?? That seems super light.
You’ve already chipped the paint 😂😫
I've been riding this bike for 7 years now! czcams.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L It was a great bike the day I got it, put it together, and went on my first ride; more importantly it's an even better bike today. I've ridden trails, street, and skatepark all on this bike. I have replaced almost every part on the bike. Some stuff has broken: derailleurs, wheels, shifter. Everything else were upgrades. The only ramaing original parts are the frame, bottom bracket, and crank set. BB and cranks will be upgraded soon. The geometry isn't great but that is really the only draw back to how good a value this bike is. Even after all the money I've spent upgrading it's still a more affordable bike than I'd have bought from a proper bike shop, especially with full suspension. I've also learned a lot about bikes working on it over the years. It really is one of the best perchases I've ever made and hopefully it'll still be around for another 7 years.
Any thoughts on size? 6ft 2 and considering large or XL. Cheers guys
which one did you buy? does it fit well?
Scotty just got this bike....
On his bike he’s got a full shimano XTR M9100 groupset...
Noice brooooo
What type of roof rack is that?
Make a video comparing a Lamborghini Aventador and this. Similar price points
