[@gmbn]

What are your thoughts on this stunning new bike? Let us know. 👇

[@j2tmfc]

Stunning.

[@addkvvs]

Cool is there a giveway

[@MinecraftMagpie]

Exactly what scott needed since the genius could of been seen as a more trail bike rather than a enduro bike, good to see it happen.

[@poloyx1]

354mm bb wtf? new fulsus tallbike from scott :-D this bike is so much capable in enduro as knife in to a gunfight :-D #scottfail

[@CallMeJack08]

Neil, your reach looks really short! What size are you running? What are your thoughts on the reach?

[@lukadim8420]

Awww man, I wanna learn how to shred like Neil and Blake. It looks like so much fun!

[@MrOvertSandStorm]

Neil and Blake shredding! Christmas has come early! So much style and confidence! Well done lads ;)

[@thehometrailracer9911]

1:18 Blake blake blake🙏🏼😍👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻🤙🏻

[@JogieGlenMait16]

Where's the orange fox fork when we really needed it?

[@gmbn]

Agreed!

[@ls1125]

I love watching Neil ride. So smooth, fast, stylish and he makes it all look so effortless! I could happily just watch RAW riding footage of him blasting down the trails! ✊

[@neildonoghueMTB]

Cheers dude

[@Windband1]

Agreed!! The Don is "le shit", as the French would say. LOL.

[@TimFromWales]

Sweet ride Neil ! Kudos to the camera work too - loving the edit.

[@tm_banditt1516]

Neil you’re amazing

[@shaneajose9259]

Neil Young amazing

[@3dflyer87]

LOVE the cinematography in the GMBN videos lately!!!!!

[@aliikane]

The shock flip switch from progressive to linear is genius. Tokens are so yesterday.

[@boomerangfreak]

no no no, it's Ransom, the Genius doesn't have that (yet) ;P

[@gmbn]

😂

[@DrewWillcock]

I still have, and ride almost daily, my Scott Ransom 30 from 2009. Its an older bike for sure, but does everything i want it to do from trail riding to Blue and Red Downhill tracks. I have been looking for a new bike.... Maybe the new Scott Ransom is my next new bike!!

[@matty21thebest19]

I also have the ransom 40 , and when i saw this new ransom i was angry because they modified an enduro bike in an xc bike

[@NoLimitFrenchyNoLimitFrxnchy]

Matty21 The Best whatt????

[@raymondchapman2075]

Really enjoying this series. Keep it up.

[@gmbn]

Thanks Raymond!

[@b-manz]

Just got a 960 Genius 2019. Wow wow wow. Fast bike! 29'ers are amazing now. They used to be wagon wheels but now the geo is sorted I don't think I would go back to 27. I have tested also the Yeti SB150 and it compares really well even not considering the price point (yes the Yeti has a better rear for small bumps). This bike would be even more of a weapon on the downhills... !

[@dylan-5287]

That bike is a beauty!

[@nathankurensky2644]

Awesome video as always i just love watching gmbn. This motivates loads of people like myself. I have been so insparated that i have started my own KZbin channel thank you guys soo much i just love these videos

[@cdycarke1709]

Those trails are so gnarley

[@VRJensen1]

Great Video and review. I had a Scott mountain bike in the late '90s and Loved it. I think my next bike will be a Scott.

[@geiar7079]

I fell in love with the syncros hixon bar 😍

[@tommyestrada6464]

Looks like Orange is the new Black for 2019.

[@Charltonhayes]

I love orange

[@MinecraftMagpie]

What a beast!

[@lorisfoucart2475]

Probably the sickests edits GMBN have made

[@olivert.7192]

omg I love the drone footage!!!

[@wildertmesdagh8683]

so much love for the new bike

[@JP1THUG]

Mate. That golf r estate is amazing. Nice bike too

[@aljowen]

Editing on this one is fantastic.

[@gmbn]

Thanks aljowen!

[@cubecumber]

Seems slightly similar to the new Rocky Mountain slayer! The new generation of 170 mil bikes is awesome!

[@AndruComedy]

Awesome. I like that new tech

[@lennonshaw128]

Keep the mint vids up 👍🏻👍🏻

[@gmbn]

Thanks Lennon, we will 🤜

[@colvinharvey9933]

No piggy back or coil, hard pass that shock probably gets about 300° Celsius

[@olivereng3532]

Rear shocks get hot?(I have no idea)

[@colvinharvey9933]

@@olivereng3532 Yeah, especially ones with a piggy back, the air has less space to move into and it's getting compressed in the shock therefore it gets heated up

[@gmbn]

The frame has space to run a piggback or coil if you want to

[@strangemobius]

This would mean dropping Twin Lock though, right?

[@colvinharvey9933]

@@strangemobius yeah

[@matty21thebest19]

I have the old ransom 40 and the bike has a big shox , perfect for enduro or downhill. I put a 180 fork and its perfect for downhill

[@rbid]

Good luck on the race

[@oliver685]

Great video keep up the good work 👌🏽

[@gmbn]

Cheers OliRothero! 👌

[@j8mmyradloff648]

Sick bike! Wish I could get one.

[@skywaker7157]

A quick question i noticed a large scrach on the chain stay behind the chain ring any clue how that got there seen in 3:49

[@AshfordMTB]

Let's have a go Neil!

[@--LZ---]

Reggae and MTB just goes so well together :)

[@LCW_01]

Uh, no.

[@coolteethbro]

Uh, yes 🤙🏼🤙🏼🌴🌴

[@konstantinmanakow7121]

Nice!!!!

[@DavidePetrini]

Bello 👍

[@jakebaty8147]

Love this bike sm looks amazing 💙

[@2stocke9x]

Awesome bike I have the 2019 Scott Genius 950

[@adamday331]

Needs some single crown fox 40s. The 36 look more like 32s on this!

Nah I run a 32 on my fuel ex 8 perfect for my local terrain. Dont knock the 32s its at hell of a fork

[@isaacsparrey7894]

The bike looks sick

[@jldepardieu6341]

I'd love to see more reggae in your vids!!! It just makes all of the riding so much more sick!

[@dynspks]

Awesome bike

[@gzgerman4674]

Dream bike

[@TheNik604]

Now , the 2021 Ransom 920 is a killer too..

[@dimiarg2566]

I have the old scott ransom but new is awsome😍😍

[@jddallager1699]

Wow! Quite the bike.....BUT....it sounded more like an ad for the Scott Ransom than an objective review of why you've chosen to race it. That said, the videography is SUPRA EXCELLENCE!! Kudos to your video team. Neil is still "The Don" and Blake is still the Blakester! Superb riding that makes us mere mortals look lie....well.....mere mortals! :-)

[@jakefeeman4019]

JD Dallager he didn’t choose to race it. He’s sponsored by Scott bikes. It even says in the video that this is a paid promo

[@jddallager1699]

jke: Thanks! I missed that and am pleased to here that he chose NOT to race it. Mea culpa!!!! :-)

[@DJ_Sharpee]

what a mental bike

[@clement1759]

I love this bike

[@chasemacmillan9282]

thats an xc shock on an enduro bike where is the piggyback. Rather have a beefier shock than twinlock. Nothing against scott but they always add tech nobody asked for. I wonder how the shock will hold up in the long run

[@DlAecs]

Also wondering, if you would actually want to ride it hard and fast downhill, how could you add a bash guard since it has no iscg mount ?

[@owenpreece4508]

Alex Dascalu don't bash into things

[@boomerangfreak]

Well I can't say anything about the ransom here but when it comes to twinlock I've been liking it quite a lot on my genius. I've demoed other bikes that have the little levers on the fork/shock but barely ended up using them and not forgetting about them. For what/how I ride I love being able to switch my suspension up with a push of a button on my bars.

[@edsonkidwell9813]

Awesome wish I could afford one

[@Сергей-х6л6з]

Top video! Cool. Like

[@jasoncapecod]

I have a Spark..great bike, but need to change the left grip..the integrated dropper lever is a pain

[@freighttrainshane3953]

Nice bike! So how often do you find your self using the lock out remote? On my Yeti SB 5+ I don’t seem to need to lock very often. I usually leave it in trail or open mode. Unless I am on a long fire road climb.

[@5492sparky]

Nice!

[@octagonst]

Nice , thought I recognised Billy's trail .

[@kubabike]

Hi Neil, are there bearings in upper shock mount ? Great bike imho :)

[@aaroncarey4213]

can you guys do a vid on how to use training peaks?

[@graemehepburn2662]

That's thing looks pinned! What pedals are you using?

[@amandapeine6745]

Already got a chip on the seat stay. Been giving it a breaking in?

[@tobyferguson5873]

Hi Neil, I have a 2018 Genius which I find amazing... your new Ransom is making me envious. My question is, how tall are you and what size frame did you go for? Thanks

[@deant6627]

I've gone from 26" to 27.5" now to 29" and i have to say i like it.

[@beverlypont2124]

Nice vid.

[@dionisiokempis9024]

added to wishlist...

[@MrDino27]

I owne 2020 930 up graded it has full Gx drive train RockShox nude rear shock PNW loam dropped 170mm on a medium frame loam bars and grips set up as 27.5 code r brakes .it rips .LOVE MY RANSOM .Sram RockShox tuned 930 .

[@Aditya19971000]

Loved it

[@sparky9864]

Attababy Neil! As always, a great bike check description and riding video. You were tinkering with 29" wheels on your Genius and that is what I am now running. It would be awesome to know your preference on the Ransom - 27.5 or 29? Hope all is well with you and yours. Keep up the great videos.

[@gmbn]

We know that Neil will be running the 29's during the races, so he probably prefers them, as on his Genius. Though we're not sure if he's tried the 27.5" wheels on the Ransom.

[@Max-wm9ee]

Hi Neil! now that a few years have past, has your opinion of the Ransom changed? are there better Enduro bikes on the market now?

[@nickthecarguy-channel]

That’s a cool bike

[@officialclownbusiness7788]

This bike is from the future. Timelord confirmed.

[@carlibbotson9193]

You guys regularly seem to agree that 140mm is perfect for trail/bike parks, Neil and Blake both ride the Scott Genius, when would you/they swap the 150mm Genius for the new 170mm Ransom which is similar progressive geometry, actually a steeper seat angle and only slightly heavier? I've only ever had/have XC race bikes; 100mm HT, 90/100mm FS so really struggling to choose a bouncer!

[@klassyken]

why did you pick 29 inch wheels for the race Neil?

[@itsleste6934]

Best bike

[@algfkhjslgakfhdsasfgasd3686]

How do you adjust the rear shock stiffness, like having it fully open, lightly rigid or fully locked out because its upside down? . I wouldn't want to be having to get off the bike just to change the rear shock setting. Is there something on the bars for it to be locked out or do you have to fiddle around with it to change it.

[@_f1yn_184]

Nice

[@allkite]

Is Neil running this bike with 27.5 or a 29er in this Vid ?

[@insanepolarbear]

I felt a slight movement in my trunks when I saw this bike. I want it! Too bad my budget is not up for the task.

[@gmbn]

😬

[@LiveAeons]

What size is the Ransom Neil is riding?

[@georgefrost410]

siiiiiicccckkkkkkk🤘🤘🤘

[@raphael5727]

This is my dreambike! I love this! But I'm broke 😢

[@JasonChambersPhoto]

Any thoughts on size? 6ft 2 and considering large or XL. Cheers guys

[@spx730]

which one did you buy? does it fit well?

[@maximosmorgan9727]

Basically a genius with 170mm travel. Can you run a piggy back shock with twin lock? If so, which one?

[@derekorwi4691]

26" dirt hard tail and 26" dh rulez!!

[@chm1ata]

Cool

[@beny6920]

Those edits tho

[@dankedney]

PB's Privateer vs GMBN's The Don - Grudge match at Finale incoming !!

[@gmbn]

Well, we all know who would win that race 😉

[@amgoatee3700]

The fork should with the Fox Orange

[@EbikerYoung]

What are the carbon IC handlebars on those bikes?

[@gmbn]

These are the Hixon in an 800mm

[@luvnher87]

What type of roof rack is that?

[@alexdavis2198]

How long do you think it takes before you would race a new bike. Currentoy im riding a lemon 160 mill full sus for cr/oss country races but, 2 days before my next race my hardtail comes in, what should I use?

[@gmbn]

Well, 160mm full sus for cross country seems like way too much. But if you're more comfortable on it than the hardtail, ride it. Comfort is a lot bigger factor than people think.

[@alexdavis2198]

It is and I dont like the feel it is slugish and slow. I am more of an hardtail kind of guy

[@markevans1259]

Lovley bike but would miss not being able to adjust bars

[@gorgiginyan]

uvaaaoo Nice Bike

[@aidenneeser906]

You kept the minions on?

[@gmbn]

It's just how the bike was delivered to us as stock :) We'll be making some changes to come in line with our channel sponsors soon!

[@shannonelvey1574]

Man I love that bike. The colour is awesome. I just don't understand why these bike companies are making things so complicated. Simple is best.

[@haitz4]

No rear shock piggyback on 170mm bike?

[@leoherran3013]

You can put one there, people never complained about the non-piggyback version though.

[@seibukan6]

Which frame-size was that and what size are you?

[@gmbn]

Neil was on a Medium & he's 5'10"

[@AlekseiPotov]

What's that bottle cage with toolkit called?

[@gmbn]

It's a Syncros Matchbox. It comes with this build but can be bought aftermarket too :)

[@isakrenlund2257]

Didnt Neil say a while ago he was going to race on the Nukeproof??

[@gmbn]

Nope! We've been purposefully quiet about the bike Neil would be racing in Finale...until now!

[@enricodedios2561]

I dont have the money but I have kidneys :) Daz a beautiful bike!
