Technologies

EVO-LAP technology
Eighty percent of the work involved in making a frame is done with the right choice of materials. But the remaining twenty percent requires the most effort. That's why choosing the highest quality carbon fibers on the market also involves intensive use of specific processes, such as FEA (Finite Element Analysis) software to map the carbon layer structure.

Using FEA, Scott was able to simulate various forces on a virtual frame model and adapt the design accordingly. Using FEA software, Scott was able to create complete virtual prototypes that take into account all the physical phenomena that occur in the real environment.

Using EvoLap technology, Scott modeled the frame to optimize the surface area, simulate tube shapes through different directional layers, observe the results of different configurations, and check the load distribution in different frame areas. Thanks to this extensive computer modeling, Scott has optimized the carbon layers in all parts of the frame. Gluing the parts together in the first prototypes resulted in a super light and compact frame without sacrificing stiffness, comfort or impact resistance. The entire range benefited from Evo-Lap technology.

NUDE suspension technology
Shocks with NUDE damper technology have been integrated into SCOTT fullys for almost two decades. Working closely with Scott's suspension partners, this technology has been further improved by Scott to ensure you always have the best support, whether you're riding at the highest level at the World Cup or taking a long tour through the mountains.

TwinLoc suspension system
Thanks to TwinLoc, the rider can effectively control the frame, fork and shock as a complete system. Why is this so important? A bike with 150 mm travel, correctly adjusted, has more negative travel (sag) than a bike with 130 mm travel. It is precisely this additional suspension travel that provides the extra riding fun, especially on descents. The greater sag has an enormous effect on the geometry of the bike and the performance on climbs. This is where TwinLoc comes into play. TwinLoc allows for nuanced fine-tuning of the suspension. While with most systems it is difficult to increase compression for efficient pedal rotation, with TwinLoc Scott can not only change the compression damping, but also the spring characteristics to dynamically change the geometry of the bike. In trail mode, the damping is not only firmer, it also has less dynamic travel. The bike sits higher, has a steep seat angle even on climbs and therefore rides more agile. Scott also offers a third full lockout mode for the most effective uphill riding. These special settings optimize the climbing geometry, even on bikes with longer travel. Scott can eliminate the "long travel effect" that reduces your efficiency. But that doesn't mean that Scott wants to spoil your downhill fun and rob you of the full 150 mm of travel. Whether for racing, a relaxed lunch ride or an after-work ride - the adjustable modes, which you can adjust with a lever depending on the terrain, are key to riding faster and simply having more fun on the trail.

Ransom carbon construction
Scott has developed the stiffest carbon frame to date, taking into account the area of application of this bike. By intelligently overlaying and reinforcing certain areas, Scott has achieved the desired stiffness between the head tube and the rear wheel axle by choosing the path along the down tube and chainstays - Scott calls this the stiffness backbone. The Ransom is a single pivot bike, which allowed Scott to optimize the width of the main pivot point, which is normally a weak point with this level of stiffness. In addition, the Trunnion mounting on the down tube close to the bottom bracket means that greater stiffness can be achieved on the underside of the bike. The lighter construction on the top corresponds to the standard and keeps the center of gravity as low as possible.
