Could this be the Trance X 29er?

[Showtime]

Hijack..!!

SCOTT ransom 27.5 I think they finally got it right. And its beautifull

 

If I had to get that bike I would just look at it the whole time and never get around to riding.

You sure? Think it's the Scott Genius, 150mm travel with Twin Lock.

Still a sweet ride though.

 

Reckon for trail bikes we'll see the guys pushing the 130mm travel 29rs and 150mm travel for 650b

 

I MEANT THAT.. haha whats a Ransom again?

That Scott looks more like a Spark to me not the Genius which has a different shock setup. Nice either way.

But I like the shape.. Its unfortunately just the way it is, some shock setups just makes for a better looking bike. and I think the shock being in line with the seatstay might make it smoother when bearings start getting dirty.

Not any more. Genius now has the same basic shape as the Spark. Just the linkages that change, really. Longer linkage makes for longer "stroke" as opposed to the SPARK

Also a push shock as opposed to the old pull shock.

Yeah. I was referring to the diffs between spark & genius though.

 

Personally, I prefer the newer version.
