Expirience with the Scott Gambler 920

Ludwig Döhl Brendan Fairclough's shred-mobile makes for a damn fine figure in any bike park. If you ride super fast on tricky singletrails, you will love the calm handling of the Scott Gambler 920. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the Scott doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build Downhill-Bike in the same price range that are more focused on descends. With a total weight of 17,4 kg, the Downhill-Bike von Scott is one of the heavier Downhill-Bike that you get for under under 4500 Euro. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty Scott sets the bar high!
