Building My Dream Freeride Bike | SCOTT Ransom 920 with Fox 38's

[@ScottyLaughland]

Whatcha reckon, is this build more Enduro or Freeride? Either way I'm stoked on it - she's a stunner!

[@ttvbtwttvbtw5627]

i would say enduro.

[@hanswurst6864]

With the XT drivetrain it's definetely an Enduro bike

[@theopegne9866]

An Enduro bike of course ! Even if the fox 38 is a big fork I agree, but the geometry of the ransom is definitely not a Freeride one

[@BOys85]

Freeride!

[@Dan_Kornfeld]

It’s an enduro rider’s, freeride bike. Whatever you want to call it, it’s just a brilliant piece of kit!

[@remymetailler]

Can you please build my bikes for me? Thank you!

[@Dan_Kornfeld]

A brilliant build! Nothing beats new bike day! Keep doing what you do!

[@Humndad]

Wow. That torque wrench needs some Sylence Technology.

[@ScottyLaughland]

Right, I like your thinking!

[@bostondonmtb]

@@ScottyLaughland What torque wrench was that? I love the bike, and the Fox 38, the fork color not so much for some reason..

[@alexmtb-ua]

So sick, so beautiful🔥🔥🔥

[@ScottyLaughland]

Thanks man! 😃

[@jamesd5066]

Awesome bike built, and have a nice ride !!!!! ;-)

[@TroggyPK]

its a shame fox dont make the spring the same colour as the forks :(

[@ScottyLaughland]

That be sick!!

[@TroggyPK]

@@ScottyLaughland break out the rattle can? Or hopefully those guys at fox see this 😂

[@raulgarafulic3313]

I think I would have gone for a black spring for the shock, but beautiful bike anyways!

[@ScottyLaughland]

Added extra weight, SLS is lighter and I believe offers better performance!!

[@goncalobaptista3042]

@@ScottyLaughland you can always paint it pistachio color

[@daveyyy_]

wow that troque wrench

[@Bubblygoat]

I love watching bike builds, so satisfying

[@camshaft1840]

You should get your rear shock powdercoated in that nice pistachio color

[@nosreuter]

The bike is absolutely stunning, but SO is the cinematics 👌

[@DarkKnight0183]

The newest Fox 38 fork in this colour is sinply amazing🔥

[@ScottyLaughland]

So rad!

[@paoloschmid9586]

Such a cool video im hyped to see the first video where you are sending this beast.

[@pangkalgoals2652]

Nice one...i love to ride it too😍

[@p.w.2149]

Absolute beautiful. The one thing im curious about is the centerlook on the disk breaks. For me this build is a mixture of a Freeride and a Enduro, on bought options I would run at least 200mm screwed disks.

[@AlexT.A.]

I ♥️ this bike. Nice work Scotty.🤙

[@ScottyLaughland]

Thank you man!!

[@dimitarspasov1232]

Beautifull Machinee Scotty! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[@ScottyLaughland]

Cheers man! Same to you! ✌️

[@cadenhinshaw9038]

That torque wrench is sick. Oh yeah the bikes pretty cool too.

[@ScottyLaughland]

Thanks man!!

[@BOys85]

I think this build is your best one!

[@ScottyLaughland]

Thank you man!

[@diegao83]

When will you show a video ridding it ?

[@SeanAnthony2025]

That fork sure is pretty. Beautiful build

[@ScottyLaughland]

Thank you man!

[@jakubgrzegorczyk979]

Beautiful build! Looks awesome😃

[@ManeMtb]

I know its old video. Great build! I have same color Ransom 2020 frame that I look into upgrading a bit as a bike park bike. Do you think frame can handle Fox 38 but 180mm? Or staying on 170mm is better?

[@LVCMTB]

So sick

[@pojepoje4054]

metal bikes for life!

[@Tricks7857]

poje poje I prefer plastic bikes

[@liquidSpin]

@Scotty Being as tall as you are what bar length do you prefer to ride on your trail/enduro/freeride style bikes? I'm guessing 780mm?

[@ScottyLaughland]

These are left at 800mm, I might give them a trim to your suggestion of 780mm for some of the tighter tree riding I do!

[@liquidSpin]

@@ScottyLaughland I went from 740 to 750 and now 780mm which I thought I was going to trim down to 760 but ended up really liking 780mm. Love the new Ransom and your videos, keep'em coming!

[@jackbauer562]

Props to the smoke gen

[@diegoaraya5573]

Love this bike 🤩, first ramson with coil shock I ve ever seen. You use 27,5 or 29?

[@ScottyLaughland]

29-er, it looks rad with a coil doesn’t it!

[@scottmack9066]

Better to leave a spacer on top to get full grip from stem. Plus fine tuning ability

[@ScottyLaughland]

100% 🙌

[@stevepodraza6363]

So beautiful 😍 nice job!

[@ScottyLaughland]

🙏

[@fl4tfoz055]

Was that rear shock a 205x65 or 60? I can't seem to find a dhx2 in a 65 option @scotty Laughland

[@jamescross3740]

FL4TF0Z05 did you ever find the correct shock to fit? I have a 2019 Tuned (carbon) and wondering which if any of the Fox coils fit?

[@benjamingruber8983]

insane bike !

[@rowanking2738]

Dude, very interested in Ransom with coil shock. Considering coil on my Ransom - disappointed with air after years Rocky Mtns with coils and double crowns

[@Enulen]

very nice bike build

[@migu16pt]

nice freeride bike with clip pedals

[@ScottyLaughland]

Maybe I’ll change em out!

[@dagharaldbakken719]

Super nice💪

[@subjektivbeurteiler]

I have a 21 Ransom 920 and i want to convert it to coil, what ist the exact model you put in there?

[@ScottyLaughland]

Fox DHX2 MY20 with the lockout lever removed.

[@tommiesturkenboom3862]

How many bikes a year are u building ?!

[@ScottyLaughland]

N + 1

[@barryf1966]

She looks lovely nowyou’ve no need for your old one 👍

[@ScottyLaughland]

Enduro 😉

[@johnjaymesgreatadventures4503]

Hey Scotty was curious if you have ever fit the new Fox Float shock in a Scott Genius? Was looking for an upgrade for my 920 Genius.

[@ScottyLaughland]

I haven’t tried it on a Genius!

[@zwitch7635]

Go to be real that fork is the best looking fox fork I've ever seen

[@hainman1]

Awesome looking bike,What kinda suspension set up do you run on the forks??

[@RM-yc3dq]

Hello man!! Why not the new dhx2 instead of the old one??

[@per4mance446]

you should put a orange lowerleg on fork

[@ScottyLaughland]

I’d probably agree with you but the pistachio is so sick!

[@1977philc]

Hi what work stand is that. I’ve got the 920. 2020 model

[@Osscar12356]

Awesome bike. What’s the difference with that and a enduro bike?

[@andyboy198577777]

So what’s your angle on why you went aluminum over carbon? I’m struggling with this myself. I know carbon will keep me worried and aluminum not so much. Am I right in thinking this? Honestly... Thanks my man! Sick whip!

[@daseeyesh]

I love UNIOR tools too. :D Nice build tho.

[@leecbracing]

How come you left gmbn

[@colomboanton]

Scotty, what wheels did you put on the bike? Thanks

[@ScottyLaughland]

They’re We Are One Unions. Hand made in Kamloops in British Columbia, they’re awesome!

[@hanswurst6864]

Hey Scotty, is that a pre-production Big Betty you're running on your bike? 😉

[@ScottyLaughland]

This is a production one!

[@youngstadan4999]

I'm stuck between a ransom 920 or a stumpy evo

[@ScottyLaughland]

Ransom all day long!

[@EastCoastAus]

Hey Scotty is that rear shock 205x65 ? Thinking of doing the same thing and replacing the original Cheers Tim

[@ScottyLaughland]

Correct! You’ll need a model year 20 shock as 21 doesn’t fit annoyingly...

[@EastCoastAus]

@@ScottyLaughland thanks for the info!

[@kareemancher]

it makes me jealous im still waiting since may for my 38's

[@ScottyLaughland]

And they’ll be worth it, I’m so fired up on them!!

[@mitchellhardeman1322]

Is it possible to get a Scott ransom 920 with a fox 36 fork? Because this bike is one of my dream bikes but a 38 is too big for me

[@ScottyLaughland]

I’m not sure if this year that’s an option maybe check out the Genius if the Ransom is too much!

[@paarasit8854]

Hey Scotty, what do you think is the best dampener for the Scott Ransom? Fox Float X or X2 or DHX2?

[@ScottyLaughland]

I’d say the Float X or DHX! The X2 series doesn’t fit unfortunately without some modification that’ll void any warranty you have. I love the Float X I’ve now fitted to my Ransom, it’s plush, smooth and overs great control and traction!!

[@marcoscg930]

​@@ScottyLaughland heyy i want to install the same shock but i havent found any information anywhere, it would be nice if you could answer to the questions i have :( What model shock was it? And also, did you do any modification to the frame? Aaaand also, what size and year is your ransom frame

[@johnkapsis4822]

Scotty what is the length of the stem you used?

[@ScottyLaughland]

55mm!

[@Fantaman058]

What brand & model is that torque wrench from? Love the bike build

[@ScottyLaughland]

Unior Tools!

[@gavinwiggin2524]

What pound spring should I use on the ransom I weigh 150 and I’m a aggressive rider

[@ScottyLaughland]

Gone for a 475 and weigh just under 80kgs.

[@williamaxbey1594]

9:35 man that torque wrench would be annoying.

[@francisconunes2212]

What's the brand/name of that torque wrench

[@sonnyfung5135]

The rear shock is of old version, what a pity. Anyway, what a great bike though.

[@KierFajardo]

That is sickk!❤️

[@KierFajardo]

I'm a fan❤️🇵🇭

[@CCWclassic]

That pistachio color is an acquired taste

[@lebronjamessss-k4u]

What's the difference beetwen enduro N freeride? I don't get it please someone help😂

[@Feldogmtb]

What were the shock dimensions?

[@ScottyLaughland]

205 x 65mm

[@lennyknott2734]

Freeride bike would have to be either 26er or mullet 26 27.5

[@ScottyLaughland]

Mullet probably for me!

[@scottramson4591]

When I retire from my Municipality I am Open to discussions from steering me away from a Fire Safety Officer to be the Model or Spokesman for Scott Ransom bikes Please call!!! Lol For real it was Very cool finding this when looked my name up

[@LPx007]

I thought porn was not allowed on YT. 😁 Insane bike...

[@karolmarinica5438]

That is not a freeride. How can a 29 be a freeride? I would say more enduro than freeride.

[@datdudeinred]

Scott is just worst brand just because literally on an alu frame they use pressfit. Wow 👏... First of all any mtb should not have pressfit bb's.
