Though the Scott Gambler wasn’t every tester’s favorite bike in the gravity category, some of us absolutely loved it.Free shipping on orders of $99 or more (U.S. The Scott also came with appropriately wide Funn bars, and testers found the Fox 40 to be a perfect fit for the bike.Īt just under 40 pounds, the bike felt heavy in our hands by modern DH race-bike standards, but seemed much lighter underfoot. The Gambler 10 comes shod with the Shimano Zee groupset, which performed so well it left us questioning the benefits of the more expensive Saint group. Its strength, stiffness and character would make it as much a park bike as a racing monster. Some of our testers felt that it was only once you got up to speed on ‘big-boy’ terrain that you could fully realize the Scott Gambler’s true character, but I found it to be an immensely playful and fun bike long before you reached higher speeds. Our testers loved the bike’s adjustability and the linkage’s all-bump sensitivity. The remarkably stiff frame and tight rear end make it possible to commit to the terrain and get more traction.
The bottom-bracket height is adjustable from 13.6 inches to 14 inches, which in combination with the low center of gravity and short rear end gave it a fun feel. The Gambler had a playful nature, popped off lips well and simply frolicked in the roughest parts of the trail. Less experienced riders might struggle with such angles, but then again, the Gambler wasn’t really designed for inexperienced riders. To not just enjoy, but to actually handle a bike like this, you have to commit to such geometry. When you are talking about the ability to adjust the head angle from 63 to 62 degrees, you know you’re in Slackland.
