Agree that 29ers are not as flickable. But they are really efficient at climbing. If you like hopping/skipping then 27.5 is still the way to go in my opinion. I now ride a 27.5+. It is kind of in the middle of both to me. What do you think?
Loved watching you smash the dumyat trail. But also died a little inside you made those climbs and descents look so easy!! But they blooming ain't! Good effort scotty.
Yeah but Scotty, how much of that climbing success is due to your skill and how much is because of the bike itself. Been looking at this bike primarily because despite setting up the sus with proper sag I bottom it out on moderately rocky descents. Bit of extra travel wouldn't hurt I suspect. I'm 6 feet tall and weigh 115 kg with kit.
Gives me the shivers really a Wow on those 29er even - those climb and downhill are physics-defying even those descents and turns. If you want those extra seconds down to a fraction of milliseconds speed the 29ers is for you. Rotational motion translated to linear motion will count for a wheel size then coupled with energy coming from your legs for acceleration. Well needless to say the brand bike is not part of the equation sorry.
Any comments to make about the Syncros Hixon bar/stem combo? I see your not using it. Also wondering what size your riding and your height. Mad skill mate especially in those slick conditions.
You look so fast and so easy on that beast...Even in the mud. Do you plan to race the Megavalanche one day? You could race alongside Rémy Absalon! That could be great right?
I would 100% buy it if it was like yours. No real enduro guys use the front and rear suspension locker and you want better fork for this crazy money so no locker but normal stock version to be able to tune as you want it.
Soooo wheelsize... What’s your take? 29’s are a fast but I’m not sure they are quite as fun and flickable - thoughts???
27,5 for shorter persons
29 for longer/taller persons
27.5 for fun and 29er for steeper more knarly downhill trails
I'm happy with my 26” Nomad!

29ers aren't as fun but are more efficient and put you on a rail when it gets faster
Who else is addicted with this CHANNEL?
Jup

Good bike and the editing is on point. Subscribed
Scotty plz make a garage tour and home tour video
I love this hill. I last went up with my girlfriend on my old 26 enduro bike a few years ago. I would love to try my 29er now.
It’s fast I can tell you that!
Love the Ransom Scotty!!! Just wondering what music you use in your videos???
Another sick vid Scotti

Riding a large, I’m 189cm and it’s right for my feel/style!
Nice video and beautiful bike !
I love the chest mount footage !!!
Thanks!

Maybe we should do a head to head one day! Could be a sick video...
holly macaroni man😳✌️👌👍
What is this new movement of trials on 29er enduro bikes?! I guess it means that bikes are SO good these days that they cross all the old boundaries!
I mean 29 is faster right? We’ll have to prove it!
Sick video! Always surprised again hoiw fast you actually are on a bike...
Who makes the third person shots? This person is doing a great job!
👍👍👍 my friend Miles, he’s good!
Great job Miles!
Woooow you are great 👍🏼! Nice job
Thanks man!
Hi Scotty! How tall you are and which frame size Ransom did you choose? :)
Great & quality content Scotty :) for chest POV, do you use a gimbal with your action cam or its just the Hero 7 hypermooth EIS?
A bit of both, for the long runs you can’t beat having the gimbal!
why did you switch to flats ?
amazing bike
awesome videos !
Very nice video!
I would 100% buy it if it was like yours. No real enduro guys use the front and rear suspension locker and you want better fork for this crazy money so no locker but normal stock version to be able to tune as you want it.
nice video 👍

Go for it, sure it’ll work out if you pick your day right...
@@ScottyLaughland next time I'm up visiting fam ill have to do it
Hello Scotty, I have a question...which instrument you use for stabilized chest shots? by bro!!
It’s a Hero 7 mounted to GoPro’s Karma Grip...
@@ScottyLaughland Thank you Scotty ;)
I can not wait to see your next video!!! :)
that second climb looked vertical.... well done!
How do you do the third person shots? Do you have a buddy or do you get off and place the camera?
My buddy Miles filmed it... I edit!
1:29 sound all shifts to the right on headphones but other then that awesome vid
Weird! Didn’t notice it...
Hey scotty. Did you leave GMBN? Haven’t seen you on it for a while?
Yip around 2 years ago now!!
what camera did you use to film this
that jersey is nice! BRAND?
It’s Lululemon! 🤗

Why no goggles or glasses when you are riding? By the way, video is fun and interesting like always.
