Ransom is the result of 2 years of research and
development not only looking for a lightweight but also
a durable frame for an innovative suspension technology
in combination with an optimized kinematics of the
rear swingarm.

The combination of an optimized kinematics with a
revolutionary suspension technology closes the gap
between dual suspension marathon bikes (e.g. Genius
MC) and the new generation of hardcore freeride bikes
(e.g. Nitrous 06).

Ransom was designed for riders looking for a “non­bobbing” long travel all mountain bike with a maxi­mum travel of 165mm.

Scott does not see frame, rear shock and kinematics
as single components which are assembled together
on a bike, but as a concept with all these components
working together and offering an outrageous function
by matching perfectly

.

RANSOM CONCEPT

GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL
DATA RANSOM

The Ransom Concept is based on a new designed
multi-pivot technology.

In combination with the linear shock characteristics
the chain tension will be reduced and doing so the
pedaling will not influence function or movement of
the rear swingarm.

This system, named TC (Traction Control), combined
with the Power Stabilizer and the Intelligent Rebound
Valve of our new Equalizer Shock is used on all Ransom
models.

The combination of these systems eliminates comple­tely the troublesome bobbing as well as the kick-back
of the shock after a big impact or jump.

No power will be lost and an optimum power transfer
is guaranteed as the swingarm, in contrary to locked
or automatic-locking systems, can follow the trail surface
and will offer perfect traction and higher speed.

In addition the rebound is adjusted automatically to
the impact force/speed.
