Gambler Concept; Geometry/Technical Data Gambler - Scott Gambler 2008 Owner's Manual

GAMBLER CONCEPT

Gambler is the result of 2 years of research and deve-
lopment searching for one of the most versatile and
durable FR and DH bikes available on the market, but
still easy in set-up and maintenance.
Scott's focus was to combine solid construction with
optimized kinematics. This respecting the demands of
riders concerning geometry, suspension characteristics,
low center of gravity and stiffness.
Gambler was designed for riders looking for a dual
suspended FR bike or a race oriented DH bike offering
rear wheel travel between 190 and 230 mm.
Scott does not see frame, rear shock and kinematics as
single components which are assembled together on a
bike, but as a concept with all these components wor-
king together and offering an outrageous function by
matching perfectly.
The Gambler Concept is based on a new designed
multi-pivot technology.
In combination with the linear coil-over shock characte-
ristics the kinematics guarantees a progressive suspen-
sion, adapted to smooth riding (beginning of travel) as
well as extreme jumps (end of travel).
