Nueva Scott Ransom (actualizado con mas info)

Nuevo cuadro..

We did not just develop a single frame!
We did not just develop a single shock!
We created a whole bike concept!

Oootra mas... Todas ls marcas sacarn poco a poco competidoras para la Nomad, en peso, y en recorridos.

 

En esas dos fotos no veo nada claro ni donde estan los pivotes ni el amortiguador asi que toca ponerse a buscar...


Un saludo.

 

cuando empezó la movida de los pivotes virtuales algunas revistas de esas defenestradas por aqui dijeron que caminabamos hacia bicis de hasta 17/18 cm de recorrido con las que se podia pedalear bien cuesta arriba, pues mira, era verdad

parece una strike por delante

 

Para qué comprar revistas si tenemos a CARBONBOY para informarnos :mrgreen:

Habrña que ver ese cuadro con más detenimiento..... :roll:

Gracias por tus posts informativos... :wink: :mrgreen:

 

Una pregunta, el tubo negro brillante que tiene el tio al lado de la rodilla es el amortiguador o es la tija???


Un saludo.

 

no se ve bien :cry:

 

Antonio®, es la tija,yo diria q el amortiguador va ne diagonal desde le pedalier hasta el punto medio del triangulo q se ve. :scratch

me moemnto me parece demasiado complejo. :eh?

me quedo con la nomad. :mrgreen:

 

ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh otra maravilla de esas que tanto me gustan, y de carbono!!!!!!!!!! la cosa se pone calentita...nomad, enduro, esta...en fin

saludos pepetin

 

otra pregunta, la cantidad de oferta en 140-165 mm reducira los precios no? :eh?
ah y el casco ese es un giro Xen con los colores de red bull??

 

como decian por ahi arriba, la nomad gana x'D

 

me recuerda la estética alos antiguos g-zero strike :arrow:

 

Veis esto me mola de Scott que el primer año ya la sacan de carbono por la puerta grande.. cosa que giant o otras marcas no lo hacen...

 

N_e_o, yo creo q no,pq las horquillas no ahcen nada mas q encareceerse mas,y los discos tb,y eso q hay muchos modelos y marcas. :wink:

 

bueno gente..q poco a poco siguen saliendo noticias y fotos..









From what we can decipher from all the marketing speak it appears Scott have genuinely tried to make a very adaptable (and easily adjustable) bike that will behave throughout a wide spectrum of different riding disciplines. It has biggish travel but has still been designed and built with an eye on pedalling efficiency and a reasonable overall weight (frame weight is 6.8lbs inc. shock and Scott claim the Ransom to be the “lightest bike in its class” ).

The Ransom can run with up to 165mm (6.5” ) rear travel , which should be enough for pretty much all sorts of “off-piste/back-country” riding (bar full-on World Cup-level downhill racing and the more bonkers end of gap-jumping “freeride” silliness). Or you can set it to run at 100mm travel for keeping things nicely tight on XC singletrack. You can even have total lockout if you are unfortunate enough to encounter any longer stretches of tarmac.

The frame is mostly made from carbon fibre (utilising Scott’s famous CR1 ‘carbon welding’ process) with all sorts of cunning tube profiles going on to damp hi-frequency trail buzz and increase torsion stiffness (and therefore better tracking and steering accuracy). You’ll be glad to know the down tube is built a bit burlier to offer decent impact resistance and the chainstays are made from 6061 aluminium.

As you can tell from the pic’s the Ransom is a multi-linkage suspension design and has been built specifically with the proprietary ‘Equalizer’ shock in mind (more later). Scott’s European (aka wet ‘n’ muddy) influence comes through with fitting of high quality double-sealed industrial bearings at all the pivots and the use of full uninterrupted lengths of gear outer cabling (no doubt the difficulty of attaching decent cable stops to carbon tubing influenced this decision as well). At the back sits the Interchangeable Dropout System (I.D.S.) which claims to be stronger and stiffer, this can be changed for a 12mm thru-axle if so desired.



Let's take a closer look...

Despite having an interrupted seat tube the clever design and positioning of the swing arm means you can still drop your saddle all the way down and out of the way for steep descents and jumpy terrain. Good stuff.

Taking care the bouncing is Scott’s own ‘Equalizer TC’ rear shock. This sits quite low in the frame (just above the chainset area) which should make for a nicely balance centre-of-gravity but it does look like it is going to get an awful lot of mud thrown at it.

We haven’t been given any real detail of what is inside the shock (ie. how the damping works) but we do know a little about its general design and construction. It has been designed to have a fairly large volume of oil in it for increased levels of damping control/consistency and adjustment accuracy (and it should reduce overheating as well) but also not be too heavy. You run the same pressure in both the positive and negative chambers (which makes setting things up a bit easier). All the seals and bushings in the shock are oil-bathed.



The Equalizer TC

The big red knob on the body of the shock is the rebound adjuster. The rebound damping is meant to be speed-sensitive and as such increases the level of damping for high speed big hits and reduces to be almost fully open on slower speed small stuff. Somewhat inevitably this shock has anti-bobbing damping, which Scott are calling the “Power Stabilizer”. Thankfully the operation and adjustment of this feature looks to be fairly straightforward; you pull out the rebound knob to switch the anti-bobbing magic on and push the rebound knob back in to turn it off.

Like previous Scott full-suspension bikes the rear shock is adjustable via a handlebar-mounted lever. This lever has thee positions 1) ‘L’ - lockout, 2) ‘TC’ – 100mm travel cross-country mode, 3) ‘A’ – the full 165mm of travel (which also slackens the angles and lowers the centre-of-gravity).

 

Pos mola mucho ademas es de carbono, seguro que pesa unos cuantos gramos menos que la nomad, parece que Scott se dedicará a fabricar amortiguadores tambien :scratch

 

el triangulo principal me recuerda al de mi jekyll. tiene buena pinta esta bici, sería bueno q se pudieran acoplar amortiguadores de otras marcas

 

Madremia eso es "tesnilogia punta" como diria el Makinavaja.....con lo sencillo que es el monopivote de mi Heckler que diría yo, en fin.........ojala me equivoque pero no creo que bajen los precios porque haya mucha oferta de modelos en 150/160 mm.

 

Vaya nave, eso tiene que tener más mantenimiento que el Discovery..

 

:shock: :shock: :shock: Lo que va a ser divertido es cuando digan el precio del cuadro... La Nomad al fin y al cabo es solo un poco mas cara que la Blur.


Un saludo.
