GAMBLER CONCEPT

Gambler is the result of several years of research and development, also in close
cooperation with the riders of SCOTT 11 DH Team, searching for one of the most
versatile and durable DH bikes available on the market, but still easy in set-up and
maintenance.

SCOTT’s focus was not only on lightweight but also on a durable frame with an
optimized kinematics of the rear swingarm.

Gambler was designed for riders looking for a race oriented DH bike offering rear
wheel travel of 210mm.

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.

GEOMETRY/ TECHNICAL DATA GAMBLER

The Gambler Concept is based on a new designed multi-pivot technology.
In combination with the linear coil-over shock characteristics the kinematics guarantees

a progressive suspension, adapted to smooth riding (beginning of travel) as well as
extreme jumps (end of travel).
