As one of the great player's weapon in World Cup, Scott have to renew one of their best machine in the downhill lineups, and it's for the Scott Gambler 20 that comes to the arena. Like the King of Gambler - though this is little bit too much - this bike is truly downhill machine, with its experience for a long period in the downhill race, seems that this is more senior than other. The Gambler 20 is the newest downhill machine from Scott, which has the same material with the downhill racer Brendan Fairclough's. But this bike is interesting, because though the best parts are used in this bike, anyone can bring this bike home with just only $4,419.99. The affordable price for monster; and $2,594.99 for frame and Fox RC4 Shock.
One interesting feature in this bike - without forgetting another features - is the link technology from Scott, which is called Scott Floating Link; this technology has been adopted in the new frame Scott Gambler 20. This technology is able to offer more efficient pedaling and with the 3.5 inch drive long size which is provides the slight or progressive rising.
The Scott Floating Link also gives the less friction among the ball bearing, despite transfers the suspension force to the front at the head tube. Scott also start the full relationship with Syncros to fill the parts, like wheelset, handlebar, seatpost and saddle.
With all the high technology and high quality components on it, Scott Gambler 20 must be the one of the best bike on downhill race; and it be better to check the riding impression of this bike to ensure that this is truly monster.
This bike is fast, fast enough so the rider have to think that helmet and other body protections are important. This speed then combined with the soft fork, the Fox 40 203mm travel; this fork is enough for the downhill arena, with several improvements in some aspects to make this fork better. Overall, this is really good machine for downhill use, and recommended for pro or expert; beginner maybe just hold for a while to ride this bike, and have to master the riding technique first.
The parts also work well, like the Muddy Mary tires, LG1 Chain Guide from E*Thirteen, Syncros cockpit, Shimano Zee for the drivetrain - this is regarded as one of the best drivetrain on downhill or freeride purpose, Avid Elixir 5 brakes, and Fox for the shock and fork. But, one thing to be considered, maybe this bike will be more better with the higher level than Elixir 5. For more information about Scott Gambler 20, check at scott-sport.
