Expirience with the Scott RANSOM 920

Ludwig Döhl The Ransom shows Scott's athletic DNA. The bike with 170 mm travel on the fork is as light as they come and suitable for touring. With the Twin-Loc lever, the entire chassis can be locked from the handlebars. The flat 64,5 degree head tube angle of the RANSOM 920 oozes self-assurance, especially in challenging terrain. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Scott Fully, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the Scott RANSOM 920 doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build Enduro in the same price range that are more focused on descends. With 15,8 kg, the Scott tends to be one of the heavier bikes on the market. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Scott puts a lot of trust in its products.
