Bicicleta SCOTT Ransom 900 RC

La nueva Ransom incluye nuestro sistema patentado de suspensión integrada al unísono con una bieleta de 6 bar. La cinemática resultante permite maximizar las capacidades y la estabilidad en los descensos, al tiempo que garantiza una pedalada eficiente.

La versatilidad es clave para los ciclistas de hoy en día; la capacidad de adaptación forma parte del ADN de la bicicleta para garantizar que la bicicleta se pueda adaptar a las preferencias personales o a las diferentes condiciones de cada circuito. Esto incluye el ajuste del ángulo de la dirección, la compatibilidad con diferentes tamaños de rueda (estilo mullet) y la compatibilidad avanzada con amortiguadores.

La plataforma Ransom incluye nuestra tecnología de suspensión NUDE con el amortiguador Float-X NUDE de FOX y opciones de horquilla que facilitan una mayor capacidad de ajuste. Si te gustan los ascensos solo porque luego te puedes dar el gustazo de un buen descenso, te interesa contar con un amortiguador que te ofrezca todas las prestaciones cuando te lances en los descensos, pero que no te haga los ascensos más cuesta arriba de lo que ya son. Aquí es donde destaca la Float-X NUDE.

El fácil acceso al interior del cuadro ofrece más posibilidades: El kit Syncros Matchbox va completamente integrado en el tubo inferior y contiene una cámara de repuesto, desmontables, herramientas para cadena y multiherramienta. Esta solución es muy limpia y funcional, fácil de extraer y volver a guardar para que siempre tengas a mano lo más necesario.

La Ransom presenta una geometría de enduro moderna que combina varios aspectos para inspirar confianza en las zonas de descenso más abruptas y rápidas, pero sin comprometer la agilidad y la precisión de la bicicleta cuando sea necesario dominar giros cerrados y terrenos técnicos.

El cuadro de la Ransom se ha diseñado para resistir las exigencias de una bicicleta gravity, con un diseño estudiado a fondo de la fuerza estructural y una distribución uniforme de la carga, lo que da como resultado una bicicleta fuerte y lista que desprende unas sensaciones extraordinarias.

The new Ransom strikes the perfect balance between smoothness and playfulness. With its versatile suspension, low weight and great climbing performance, the bike covers an extremely wide range of uses

Scott’s Ransom 900 RC has a stiff feel, which helps you plough through rock gardens and pick technical lines. Riders who appreciate refined accuracy will love its rewarding flat-out performance. The supple suspension means it doesn’t punish poor line choice. While some may shun the integrated shock, the Ransom feels a step ahead of other enduro bikes I have tested thanks to its direct handling and hill-climbing prowess.

With the new 2024 Ransom 900 RC, SCOTT combine a polarizing look with excellent trail performance. The frame features plenty of clever details, like the storage compartment in the down tube. The new Ransom is efficient on climbs and delivers a tremendous performance downhill, impressing above all with its powerful suspension and direct, balanced handling. All of this makes the SCOTT Ransom 900 RC an awesome all-rounder that delivers plenty of fun on the trail, whether you’re cruising the flow or shredding gnarly enduro trails.

The Ransom's predecessor impressed with its variable chassis and great touring characteristics. While the new edition retains the former, the focus has clearly shifted towards downhill fun. The bike has become more capable and much smoother, and it sits firmly and securely on the trail. Despite the higher weight, it also handles superbly and the new rear suspension is sensitive. As is typical for Scott, the new Ransom also climbs very well. The seat angle and position have been well thought out and the "Tracloc" lever for the shock also works really well. You can clearly feel that the position in "Traction" mode, for example, is more acceleration-oriented. The look with integrated shock may polarize opinions, but one thing is clear: the Ransom is immediately recognizable as a Scott bike.

My initial impressions were that the bike really crushes downhills. The 6-bar really seems to do some gravity-shredding magic. But really, the first thing I did on the new bike was to pedal it up some super steep rocky & sandy fire road climbs to earn my turns a bit. And popping the new Ransom into reduced-travel traction mode really did turn it into a mountain goat. Thinking back, it’s kinda no surprise that my <16kg test bike reduced to 130mm of rear wheel travel climbed like a regular trail bike. The magic of this bike really feels like the Trac-Loc. That lets it be a killer freeride bike on the descents. And a perfectly reasonable trail bike for the climbs back up. And there really isn’t much of a downside.
