GAMBLER CONCEPT
Gambler is the result of 2 years of research and development searching for one of the
most versatile and durable FR and DH bikes available on the market, but still easy in
set-up and maintenance.
Scott’s focus was to combine solid construction with optimized kinematics. This
respecting the demands of riders concerning geometry, suspension characteristics,
low center of gravity and stiffness.
Gambler was designed for riders looking for a dual suspended FR bike or a race
oriented DH bike offering rear wheel travel between 190 and 230 mm.
GAMBLER
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.
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).
