The Ransom has redefined the all-mountain category by increasing travel and reducing weight. The patented Equalizer TC shock offers three travel modes at your fingertips. Using the TracLoc lever, choose between lockout mode, Traction mode providing 90mm (3.5in) of travel, and full travel mode giving you 165mm (6.5in) of smooth travel.

Equalizer TC Rear Shock
The Equalizer TC is a unique rear shock concept designed by SCOTT. It features two separate positive air chambers for the two travel modes offered (100mm, 165mm), and an OTS (Oil Transfer System) type damper with a fixed piston. Traditional dampers use a through-shaft design in which the piston is pushed through the oil. The OTS system pushes the oil from the main chamber into either air chamber via a fixed piston. This reduces heat and allows for dual travel modes.
Pulling upwards n the rebound knob engages the Power Stabilizer™ for bob-free pedaling. This feature allows greater pedaling efficiency while managing larger bump absorption.
Pushing downward on the Power Stabilizer returns it to its original position. This provides a fully active and sensitive rear suspension that can manage bumps of all sizes. -
Traction Control (TC) lever
The Ransom also delivers three different travel options at your fingertips via a handlebar mounted Traction Control switch. By utilizing Scott’s Equalizer rear shock technology, you can pick whichever mode is most suitable for your current trail conditions.
Traction Control options:
Lockout mode : the rear shock is locked, same as climbing or riding on a hardtail.
TC mode, activating up to 100mm (4 in) of travel and giving you a slacker bike geometry than in Lockout mode. The suspension sags and the compression damping opens, delivering fantastic single track or race bike performance.
All travel mode to deliver up to 165mm (6.5 in) of active travel and slacking the geometry further, lowering your center of gravity and slowing your steering input for confidence on high speed descents. -
Co-Developed Suspension Module (CSM)
The multiple linkage system was “Co-Developed” specifically to work with the Equalizer TC shock system. The Ransom is extremely efficient while pedaling and offers very sensitive suspension action. High quality, double sealed industrial bearings are used at all pivot points for durability and precise suspension function. Enclosed cables throughout ensure smooth shifting. CR1 carbon seat stays and 6061 alloy chain stays save weight and maximize stiffness.

IDS™ Interchangeable Dropout System
The new dropout and hanger interface increases rear triangle stiffness. Also provides improved shifting, cornering capabilities and rear end stability. The system can also be interchanged from a standard QR, MAXLE or a 12mm thru axle for added strength. Provides easy replacement of a broken derailleur hanger.
