Marc Beaumont's Scott Gambler

[@robbird8613]

Marc, this looks insane! Probably my favourite looking DH bike 👌🏼

[@jdwalker9718]

Nice ride Mr. Beaumont. Thumbs up to the Zee shifter. The single step shift is where it's at.

[@Pienimusta]

That bike is a beast and looks like one. That mid suspension especially. Awesome bike ^^

[@JJ-9421]

4 Pistons!? Damn! Lovely bike. I love how aggressive downhill bikes look, incredibly long travel and massively wide stanchions.

[@Krigloch]

Awesome! Now we need reviews on Marc and Neils trail bikes!

[@flappinganimal]

Can we see you riding it like a madman please? :)

[@andrewhamilton8505]

Yes please

[@hoodeddragon]

I can't figure out why there's always that one person that dislikes a video. What could possibly be wrong with this video?

[@bnadit1949]

+hoodeddragon because they want to be special.

[@freeridetony]

same bro , what a brain ....

[@skylightatnight6996]

i´ve been waiting for a scott gambler video for so long

[@skibikeride2000]

Is that your gambler in your profile picture?

[@skylightatnight6996]

i wish dude im saving up for the scott gambler 10 2014 though

[@skibikeride2000]

That's too bad. I have my eyes on a Scott voltage 710. I really like the gambler but most of my riding is gonna be in a bike park on jump runs so the voltage makes more sense. Good luck getting it though

[@skylightatnight6996]

thanks

[@heinzketchup3323]

+Nate Meyer What do you think about the Scott Voltage fr 20? I'm thinking about getting it

[@RodneyWilder]

Really jealous. I'm still rocking a 2009 Gambler, though it's had some upgrades such as Avalanche internals in the fox 40 and DHX RC2, new lighter crank and a raceface carbon bar. Still a beast on the mountain

[@Lukas-kh5gu]

rented that exact bike today in Leogang, Salzburg. It's a beast!

[@jasoncross6151]

I agree on the Zee shifter, basic, cheap and never lets you down, good choice Mark.

[@willd2156]

The design looks really convoluted. But it's the same amount of pivots as most others. Really nice bike Marc.

[@jeffreystern9699]

Nice vid. Thanks for the metric conversions, nice touch.

[@jonahkelly5078]

This colour is so sick

[@ACDCRD]

Your cables are so clean

[@johnspencer858]

Love Scott bikes, got two of my very own :D

[@robbird8613]

I can't stop watching this vid 👌🏼

[@Sup3rNov4Channel]

I have a question can I have any old bikes that are trash to you now.?

[@KitchenFSink]

My fav dh bike

[@brayden_horton586]

What a sick bike!!!

[@derekrobinson4988]

Wow, what a awesome bike. Although you guys get to ride bikes I can only dream of... Still, I can dream.

[@markastillacherivias2874]

Been waiting for this,slugger*.. huge Fan here! From the Philippines

[@patrickstausholm8615]

U should do a video top 10 downhill bikes

[@andrewhamilton8505]

Yes what he said

[@gmbn]

Patrick Stausholm Hey Patrick, We have that edit in the pipeline keep a look out. Cheers Marc

[@MrSailaS_]

Global Mountain Bike Network Can u make a video where u will help new ppl to chose a fullsuspension bike for downhill, enduro and freeriding. But not from some bike about 5k euro! Mb start from 1500 to 3000 euro! Not all the ppl are professional sportsmen! Help us to buy a bike to have a good time and fall in love in it!

[@patrickstausholm8615]

Another idea would a presenter race like gcn

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Very nice bike. Nicely speced too.

[@joshcullum88]

Great video love the personal videos.

[@IronSB3]

Great videos! Please could you guys do a video on using brakes to aid steering, like when you push the back wheel the opposite way then drag it back to the outside to finish the turn? It is a technique I am really struggling with. I think it is called a cuttie. Not quite sure. Thanks!!!

[@kylewest2460]

You should do a top 10 best bike upgrade video that would be good

[@camronhaywood3988]

😍😍😍😍 loving the bike Marc

[@aidentait4563]

That's a cool bike Marc

[@robamick126]

this bike looks well nice.

[@mateuesquiaga9728]

How much sag are your riding?

[@Yhigma]

Not gonna lie... I'm too afraid to ride carbon bars. I've just always ridden alloy bars and it's something I trust. I feel like I might crash the bike and not replace the bars w/o knowing they're compromised and then when hitting a rock or jump they'll just fail.

[@gmabwrx1805]

I'm an enduro rider and i run carbon bars and not gonna lie, I'm kinda scared to but i don't really think about it but i like em

[@Yhigma]

+BigTallYetiG exactly!

[@MrKinir]

Wait until you see alloy parts break ;) It's not fun either. Alloy can snap brutally sometimes.

[@deecarter1059]

Great to see how a pro bike has been configured. Do you buy anything yourself or is it all provided by sponsors?

[@Ubeer85]

Awsome bike.

[@julianroyz3393]

You guys should do a pro bike video on Damien Oton Devinci Spartan

[@Skreij]

Nice video guys!

[@Gumson99]

Nice bike mate, but im a bit surprised about the rim choice, I thought that you would run something tougher for DH

[@kadupf]

awesome bike!

[@gianleoncito169]

if i could only afford a bike like that. i would ride all day.

[@jreg027]

Sweet ride bro

[@MrSandieman666]

beautiful bike,,,

[@robbiedrums7917]

do a full face helmet review pls

[@piersgritten2586]

I really like when you get into the nitty gritty of the spec, you should try and do this more in your pro bike checks rather than a couple I have seen where neil states the obvious.......well, its a nice bike. keep up the good stuff though!

[@DavidBrownFan]

Dear Santa for Christmas 😀

[@palooza90210]

I work at a bike shop in Ontario Canada and I would love to see Connor Fearon's DH race bike. Kona's site says he's on a Supreme Operator but the paint on the bike he rides in videos and races looks like the Operator 27.5 which is alloy. It would be super interesting to know if it is an Operator with custom paint or if he is riding an alloy bike just because the Carbon bike is a 26. 27.5 all the way

[@benbattista5035]

Hey Marc! I do have a question about that beeeeeautiful Gambler. How is the ride for stuff at bike parks? I heard from a different Gambler owner that they really excel in racing but kind of give a rough ride for just normal park riding? What would you say? Thanks!

[@gmbn]

Ben Battista Hey Ben, I have rode it in a variety of conditions and terrain and it seems very competent everywhere and never out of its depth.I have a loads of fun riding the Gambler. Thanks for your comment, Marc

[@benbattista5035]

+Global Mountain Bike Network thanks for your reply! That means a lot, I love this channel and it has helped me out with so many problems I have run into with biking. Love the channel, and keep doing what you're doing! Keep up the great work because you guys deserve 1,000,000 subscribers!

[@davedave3938]

+Ben Battista , I bought a Gambler-710 this year. I took it to Whistler, SilverStar, KickingHorse, Panorama and some local stuff in Edmonton Alberta. This bike is like nothing I've ever rode before. I HIGHLY recommend this bike. My skills (and courage) went up 10 fold. I've taken lines that I have passed on before. It can take any steep rocky rough technical terrain effortlessly...and jumps....oh boy, like it has wings. The geometry of the bike makes you feel like you're bolted too it. I've been moto-whipping with it all summer. Last year on my bang'd up Kona I never felt in control.

[@alexandertrust1]

So when we getting your race bike for this year checked out?

[@gmbn]

It will come! :)

[@BLAKEISHart]

heck yea. Im sure we all want some BTS

[@camronhaywood3988]

do a review on yours and dons' trail bike

[@AJMacDonaldJr]

Nice bike! : )

[@Skreij]

I'm not sure, but I think I noticed that one or two of your recent videos seemed to be in familiar locations for me - my local tracks are Hopton, Bucknell and Bringewood, tracks that I know Marc knows and has built at, plus for one of the recent Dirt Shed Shows you guys were in Shropshire - am I right or wrong?

[@Sr5RoameR]

How tall are you and what size is your gambler? I’m 5’7 and not sure if i should get the small or medium.

[@skibikeride2000]

Damn, such a nice looking bike. For downhill do prefer to run with coil sprung suspension or air spring?

[@sammorgan7097]

Any reason for the colour scheme? sick colours btw mate.

[@jackfinnegan643]

What. A beauty 😍😍😍

[@hudsonquay]

I prefer Neil

[@honzakrcil7454]

Really nice bike, but I would also like ask if Mark is currently still racing, or did he quit? Because I am little bit confused :D

[@Skreij]

I'm not sure, but I think I noticed that one or two of your recent videos seemed to be in familiar locations for me - my local tracks are Hopton, Bucknell and Bringewood, tracks that I know Marc knows and has built at, plus for one of the recent Dirt Shed Shows you guys were in Shropshire - am I right or catastrophically wrong?

[@LarsBoon]

How do you get the bike this clean???

[@Markikuunn]

The screw in the seat post is back wards? Does it help in something?

[@TheMegaMrMe]

hey guys, GMBN is my only source of MTB news, well, and whatever is on redbull tv, but that I think may be biased since they sponsor a lot of stuff. What other MTB sources would you recommend to watch/follow ?

[@hobmarg]

Marc some of the WC Scott guys seem to have carbon seat stays or carbon rear end? Is that coming to production next year on the Gambler?

[@Markikuunn]

So, you can safely cut carbon fiber handle bars? Anyway, there is only 31.8 in carbon fiber, so I`m stuck with my flat aluminum handle bar

[@ehsan83]

Hello Marc, So did you build this bike yourself with your choice of components or you bought the factory bike and did modifications on? I personally would like to build a Giant All Mountain bike but don't know where to buy it's frame from. Any clues? Thanks for sharing, beautiful bike :)

[@QuinnErno]

I have the same bike Scott gamble 710 from 2015 and I'm trying to service my bottom bracket but I can't figure how to take it out because it's not like the rest of my bikes

[@QuinnErno]

Any ideas gmbn thanks!

[@carsonstephens2508]

Quinn Erno it’s a press fit bottom bracket; your best bet would be to take it to your LBS

[@javierromero2476]

hello i am from argentina 78 kg weight need a neutral setting with RC4 psi air and compression thanks

[@de900boy1]

+GBMN I'm new mountain biking and I was wondering what a bike like that will coast?

[@cryptoleucus7452]

What do you think about the Gambler 730 ?

[@Frostys]

burgtec 👌👌👌

[@nice_sprite5285]

would you recommend having more than one bike at a time for a wider range of riding? or is it best to focus on one and then move on to the other when your ready

[@Yhigma]

Having multiple bikes is nice. Ideally I would want to have a hardtail, a mid travel trail bike, and a full fledged DH bike. Because I can't afford all of those though, I just have a trail bike.

[@heinzketchup3323]

+Yhigma sameeeeee

[@adcr_e]

Why would someone dislike the sluggers bike?

[@aidansimpson4194]

How come u don't have the 2016 fox 40 forks???

[@tomclarkson6078]

Is running tech 3 leavers/master cylinder with tech 4 callipers a personal choice?

[@maximo15]

Question: can I have your bike? Haha very nice setup !

[@carlomagnotm]

beautiful bike :D hey mark im wondering about the debate about wheel size, how do you find 27.5" wheels and 26" in the way going down?? which one would you recommend??i have a canfield bike that would allow me to install 26",27.5" and 29" but since its gonna be an investment and i dont know how 27.5 tires will work for me it would be nice to hear a pro opinion :D

[@tyler2260]

What does Marc run his slow speed compression at?

[@kalingawansauk2574]

Is it better than sta cruz v10?

[@willh2822]

Hey Mark, do you recommend carbon or aluminum for an endure bike that I'll be using in bike parks a lot? Cheers

[@silversurfing2078]

What would you recommend as a first mountain bike? I am looking to get into the sport but I don't want to spend an insane amount of money just for the bike. I don't think I need a hardcore downhill mountain bike (although they look amazing) because I want a bike that can handle well on the trail and then take me home on the street. What is the best type of mountain bike for me and what is the best reasonably priced brand and model? I saw another youtube video that said you should spend 400-600 US dollars on your first mountain bike (not including upgrades and accessories). I was hoping I could stay in this range when purchasing my bike. I would really appreciate hearing from you guys and what your opinion is on my situation.

[@matthewbradshaw8017]

Spending a tad more like 700 will get you onto an entry level bike with hydraulic disk brakes, reasonable drivetrain and a better trail specific geometry than cheaper bikes

[@thomaskanzian1]

+Silver Surfing I'd deffinitely go for an used enduro bike, it should do the job on the trails perfectly and they look cool too I think! If you spend some time on some forums and stuff you should find a cheap bike in pretty good condition I think. Good luck! (Sorry for some grammar mistakes if existing, I'm from Austria)

[@silversurfing2078]

Thomas Kanzian Ok, thanks for the reply!

[@thomaskanzian1]

no problem! ;)

[@silversurfing2078]

Ok thx!

[@bubblebobblekd]

hi mark my full sus cube ams 100 is 12kg which is 5.5kg lighter than your Scott and your Scott is way more expensive than my bike do you think if bike company could make a dh getting on for the 13kg mark that would make the down hill handling so much better I know people say the weight aids the speed downhill but handling must be way more important what do you think mate

[@CalvinL.Stevens]

you won't find a dh bike that weighs in at 13kg because it would break at the first 2m jump

[@paulcostello3207]

Hi lads, I've been having difficulty deciding what height to set my stem at on my hardtail, any tips? cheers. (nice bike)

[@angjn]

Is that chain on the wrong way round?

[@augustwagner5462]

hey marc, do you still race DH professionally?

[@nickthedane1]

What do you think of the Canyon Sender ?

[@gmbn]

We think its a very well designed bike, and the guys at canyon have been very helpful sorting Martyns bike out. Great bike and great company!

[@nickthedane1]

Thank you! perfect answer

[@azrikrik1615]

bro,Michelin wild grib r is good or not to use?

[@jague2u]

Hey Mark, what frame size is your bike and how tall are you? Just looking for a reference. Thanks!

[@dcfilms347]

How much is a scott gambler brand new?

[@rollie234]

Does somebody know how much the Scott FR 20 2012 weights

[@camerongilmore945]

Are the parts sponsored or personal preference

[@WilliamSmith-eb5lf]

how do you have a 8 speed cassette, won't the chain shift too far up and come off

[@gmbn]

+William Smith Hey William, You have to be really precise when you adjust your Derailleur stops so that it does not go over the back of the cassette. Cheers Marc

[@joeldempsey2781]

Hey mark, how do you find sprints with only eight gears on the rear?

[@gmbn]

+Joel Dempsey Hi Joel, I spend a lot of time over the winter building up explosive power in my legs, and when the time does come to sprint in race runs I aim to have a lot of momentum coming into the sprint so I don't feel like I'm pushing too high a gear. Also - hopefully the sprint sections of races still have a gradient so I just keep accelerating. Cheers!

[@jthefish88]

does it come in mens?

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

does a chain keep on thingie exsist for a 3x front chain ring. my GT SENSOR constantly loses the chain on gnarly high speed decents. HHHHHHEEEELLLLPPPP.

[@idzardkruizinga]

That bike is soooo prity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MP_Soundbox]

So....how does it ride?????

[@codyseaman5340]

How much is this setup? I just crashed my GT and I was looking into a new bike anyways. Any other bikes to consider as well? Thanks.

[@downhillenduro1909]

Its very expensive - maybe Look At a Canyon Torque oder Sender, YT Industries Tues Al and Carbon

[@codyseaman5340]

+Tim Lochner thanks. I'll look into them

[@LincolnTwiss22]

Why would you bother to cut 2 gears off the cassette?

[@piersgritten2586]

mtb helmets explained please!

[@tomasc13]

why did you left gt

[@harrymonksmedia9694]

Do you torque every bolt on the bike?

[@gmbn]

+Valley Media Not with a torque wrench but they are checked regularly by hand.

[@James-pn9gu]

Nice

[@Matias-yp4xx]

Santa Cruz grips!!!!!!!

[@endurofordaboys1768]

brst grips by far
