Scott's tech video on PB's other Ransom article today is much better, and features steadier, sustained shots of downhill riding. Personally I feel Scott should have just went w/ that video alone.

Sounds like old command and conquer trailer.

Now I can wear my Scott helmet with my Scott enduro goggles and my Scott jersey with my Scott shorts, Scott chamois, Scott kneepads, Scott socks and Scott shoes. I'll slowly don my Scott gloves and grasp the Scott grips attached to the Scott handlebar of my Scott bicycle. Before I ride, I'll have fueled well with Scott breakfast cereal eaten from a Scott bowl. Also, this bike needs more cables in the cockpit area.

If you just grab your screen and shake it in sync, it isn't too hard to look at.

That is, you're not watching this at work, are you?

I never understood why so many of these videos barely ever feature nasty rock gardens and huge drops. Ya know, the kind of stuff these bikes were built for...

Hands down to these two riders, particularly the one in the front. He is definitely a daredevil. The thru-axle cam lever was put facing to the front horizontally on his bike(noticeable first 20s seconds).

Easiest way to get your hands on one off these, just walk into a bank with a gun. Tell everyone to hit the deck, no one leaves until I talk to a negotiator. Then just tell the coppaz that you demand a Ransom. A MF Scott Ransom. easy peezy

m1dg3t (Aug 31, 2018 at 5:42)

Shouldn't the title be 'Re - introducing the Ransom'? I mean I've had one since sometime in 2010...

What a lame bike it has become as it looks like every other Horst/4 bar bike on the market. At least the original faux bar tried to style itself differently from the rest.

I had the previous generation genius LT and it was by far the worst all mountain bike I ever had. Sorry Scott, you lost me there.

170mm to shred flow trails with no tech? Seems like a little much, no?

I’ve got a headache after that, unsure if it’s from the music or camera footage from the guy on the cross trainer

LiquidSpin (Aug 31, 2018 at 5:08)

Yup, exactly.

It's really just a longer travel beefed up frame. Whereas the original Ransom was different than the Genius years ago.

My thoughts are they should have called it the Genius LT 2019...but I think for advertisement and PR sake they wanted to bring more excitement and cash in on their old "Ransom" nick name to help sell.

Either way, it's still a BAD ASS bike with a FULL 170mm travel both front and rear and still weighing at a respectable 29lbs (without pedals) is super impressive to say the least.

The Genius platform has already proven to be the best Genius to date so this just ups the ante for those who ride Enduro and park.
