GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL DATA GAMBLER 700/27.5”GAMBLER CONCEPT

Gambler 700 is the result of several years of research and development, including
input and cl ose collaboration with the riders from the S C OT T/Gstaad DH Team. Our
goal was to develop one of the most versatile and durable DH bikes on the market
that was also easy to set-up and maintain.

SCOTT’s focus was o n creating a durable frame that was lightweight while having
optimized kine matics of the rear swingarm to match the new 27.5” wheel s ize.

Gambler 700 was designed for riders looking for a race oriented DH bike offerin g a
rear wheel travel of 210mm .

SCOTT considers th e frame, rear shock and kinematics not simply as singular
components of a bike, but also as a complete package that works holistically to
deliver an optimal level of functionality.

The Gambl er 700 Conce pt is based on a newly designed m ulti-pivot technology
and a floatin g link design that share many similarities with th e previous Gambler. The
complete fra me has been refined to be optimized with the new 27.5” wheel size but is
also still compatible with 26” wheels.

In combination with the linear coil-over shock charac teristics the kinematic s
guarantees a progressive suspension , adapted to smooth riding (beginning of travel)
as well as extrem e jumps (end of travel) .

All new geometry for 27.5” wheels
and adjusted sizing.
