The article discusses Scott's prototype Gambler downhill bike, showcasing a redesigned frame that hides the rear shock. This full-carbon bike shares a 6-bar suspension layout with the Ransom model but is tailored for downhill biking, expected to have 200mm of travel. The bike was observed racing in the World Cup, displaying key innovations, including a longer rocker link. Despite being in prototype phase, it shows considerable promise for production readiness and represents the culmination of Scott's recent mountain bike redesign efforts.
First off, the prototype bike I saw Benoit Coulanges racing features a much longer raw aluminum rocker link. His rocker links also have three extra bolt holes in them.
The prototype Scott Gambler carbon 6-bar World Cup DH bike appears to be close to production-ready, featuring several in-development tweaks.
