You don’t feel that the large is pretty small for your height? I’m probably 186cm and I’m finally on a bike with a 485mm reach and it feels so liberating
Hey Scotty, You say you run 165psi in the rear shock. What do you weigh if you don't mind me asking? I have the '20 ransom 920, I weigh ~90kg and roll around 230-240psi to keep from using all travel on fairly tame trails. Thoughts?
Nice build Scotty. Happy to see that a 189 tall guy also rides a size L, frame makes it more fun to ride steep trails and jumps. The new color looks flashy. Enjoy the bike :) . Wondering how it rides with a Fox 38 180mm Grip2 fork when you visit the WC in Champery it could be handy.
Scotty, my kids and I are huge fans of your videos. We all ride Scott MTBs and I ride the Ransom Tuned. You inspire us seeing all the great videos you do and showing me what that Ransom is capable of. Maybe one day I can push it at your level🤔. Ya probably not😜. Good work brother 🍻
That's awesome, I'm so stoked to hear that! Ransom is such a awesome bike, it's my go to for everything! Hope you and the kids are having fun out there and staying safe!
great bike. Why did you not get the Hixon bar? I swapped the original wheels with Zipp motos and run magic marys front and back with pretty low pressure (I am not racing). The Ransom + Zipp combo feels super buttery on chunky rock gardens.
Hey Scotty!! Nice bike brother!! Love it. I'm about to jump and buy a Ransom 910 2020 (the color on that bike is sick...but I rather like more the orange...jajja). Anyway. My question is, Size M for 180cm is a good choice? Would it feel a fine or it migh feel a bit cramped?? Thanks!! Take care.
Oh man, that’ll be a nice bike! I love the Ransom and just put 29-er’s back on it... Size wise is a hard one, you’re right in the middle for either. I’d probably be inclined to say the medium?!
Scotty Laughland thanks!! I’ll do that. Also read that enduro bikes are better if you size them a bit down since they are more agile, is that correct?. Thanks for the advice. Can’t wait to try it out in the next couple weeks. Super stoked!!
Do you have the opportunity to sit on one and see for yourself? I should be on the XL really but prefer the smaller bike for being able to through around. It’s a little personal preference and a little of what works for you!
Medium or large? At 5’10” the medium fits well after some fitment upgrades. That’s with a 40mm stem. Stock is 50mm. Bars replaced from 10mm to 30mm rise. Medium or large? Taller than 5’11,large recommended. At 5”9’, medium recommended. Either way the bike is awesome. Hub engagement sucks though🙏🔑✌️
Lol. I have 210 psi in the rear shock and 80 psi in front fork with 77 kg of my body weight. You look more heavy than me so your setup is VERY soft. I think Too soft

Woah chill man this bloke just made a super high quality video for your entertainment and all you can do is find the only bad thing about it and complain about it. I'm sure there's a reason for it and it's clearly not the end of the world seeing how high quality these bikes are...
I think the main reason they choose pressfit is for weight advantages. You don’t need a threaded insert in addition to the face. I’ve no problem with pressfit, it’s easy to maintain and I haven’t had any issues riding in a primarily wet climate!
Think I covered almost everything, is there anything I've missed? Ask your questions here...
You missed your pedals and bottom bracket!

Tyre width?

Are you running 2.6 tires in front and back?
Keep it up mate your a legend
Proper enduro machine, congrats.
Very nice. It will be good to see you do a few demo rides.
Few videos online of me on this bike but maybe in 2019 colours! ;)
@@ScottyLaughland great, I'll check them out. Thanks!

I reckon with a 38 out front it will be the ticket!!

Top stuff mate. Cool vid😎🇦🇺
Thank you!
Shexy beast! And the bike is quite nice too.
Awesome bike, mate
Awesome bike !!!
Very nice
2:24 that one rider in the back have orange handle bar were can i buy it please tell
The dream!
How much air pressure do you use in fork and shock? How much sag? And how much do you weigh?
79psi in the fork and 165psi in the shock. I weigh 78kgs and run around 30% sag!
great bike. Why did you not get the Hixon bar? I swapped the original wheels with Zipp motos and run magic marys front and back with pretty low pressure (I am not racing). The Ransom + Zipp combo feels super buttery on chunky rock gardens.
I work closely with Shimano and run their in house components brand which is PRO!
Does the 1 suspension lever put both forks and shock in trail mode or open mode ? Or do you have 2 levers ?
1 lever does both, it's super easy and convenient out the trail!
0:44 is it just me or are your handlebars not 100% centered?
Haha, I seem to always run them a little squint! Nicely noticed!!
awesome video, love it.

Hi there, nice review and bike. At 180 would you recommend the M size, or still L? Cheers

Hi is there a specific reason that you dont ride maxxis tires?
I’ve ridden for Schwalbe for the last 8 years! You can see all my partners in description...
Scotty, do you prefer resin or metallic break pads?
Metal generally!
What does the "Tuned" really mean for Scott bikes?
It’s their top tier frameset, generally a full carbon frame and is used by their fastest racers on the EWS and Downhill World Cup circuit...
Siiiiiicccck!
Hi, which bar is this?
Why do you only run 180mm rotors?
I feel with the 4 piston brake calipers it offers more than enough stopping power. If I did go the Alps I'd likely put larger rotors on!
What are the biggest differences between the 2019 tuned to the 2020 tuned?
Purely the colour way!
You get a 38 fork for 2021🙏🔑✌️
What pressure are you running your forks mate?
79psi!
Do you like the genius or the ransom?
I have a spark...thinking of getting a genius I can't decide
Depends whether you prefer downhill or uphill?
We don't have much downhill in Alice Springs, alot of climbing but
I've been looking at the 920 genius
My page has few of the segments around Alice Springs if you want to check them out ...no edit pretty raw footage...#scottspark740
I like 29ers but prefer 27.5 with a 2+ tire
Are you running 2.6 tires in front and back?
Correct!
@@ScottyLaughland I'm running 2.6 MM/HD on my Genius and I love it!
😍😍😍
Do u still work at GMBN?
Nope!
Is your TH-cam Channel your main focus now?
How much did this build cost you in US dollars?
Unsure on the full RRP, I got most of the parts on this bike through my partners! :)
I can not stop watching your cap. Its kinda wierd to see you wearing it ... no offens :D :P
Really? Mainly cause the Barbers shop is closed! ;)
Very nice bike, and great components.
However, you being sponsored by Scott and Shimano does make for slightly monotone content on your channel.
Hey! Tbh, I couldn't do it without them and to me growing up from being a grom, it's a dream come true to be working with them...
Any old bikes for sale swap or free lol
Not right now!
Lol. I have 210 psi in the rear shock and 80 psi in front fork with 77 kg of my body weight. You look more heavy than me so your setup is VERY soft. I think Too soft
I’m only 75kg so it’s working pretty perfect for me! 😉
@@ScottyLaughland dont you hit the suspension to max too often? Or I just ride it in more difficult tracks like DH ^^
Not a bad way to spend $10k
It must be so sick being sponsored by Shimano. Jealous😔
I'd kill someone just to have a bike like that
Press fit on a 7000£ bike 😂😂😂
Why not? Same on the Gambler too... Doesn't seem to be a problem!
