Shop all Scott Shop sale ScottIs there a better looking DH bike than the Scott Gambler 900 Tuned Complete Mountain Bike? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but we've yet to meet anyone who isn't struck by the clean lines and perfect proportions of this sled. If they bounce up and down on it on the showroom floor, with a scrunched-up game face on? Well, that makes them want one. And any riders who have the opportunity to actually ride a Gambler down a track become obsessed with acquiring one. This is a lucid-dreambike, the DH machine you'd use your first genie's wish on. Unreal.
Gambler Carbon Frame – Known as one of the lightest downhill frames on the market, the Gambler is carbon with an aluminum alloy swingarm. Its Virtual 4 Link Kinematic suspension is compact and predictable, meeting the needs of the world's best racers. It has loads of adjustability: depending on the track, riders can change chainstay lengths, wheel sizes, and bottom bracket height. This is the building block for a fully capable speed machine.
Fox DHX2 Factory Coil Rear Shock – The most adjustable coil shock available, the DHX2 is quite simply ready for race day. It has a completely redesigned damper and chassis, delivering tunability, smoother performance, and more progressivity than ever before.
Shock Adjustments – Coil Spring Preload, 8 Clicks High Speed Compression, 16 Clicks Low Speed Compression, 8 Clicks High Speed Rebound with Variable Valve Control, 16 Clicks Low Speed Rebound
Easy Wheel Size Changes – No need to change the fork, all you need to do is flip a shock mount chip, change your wheels and off you go. The flip chip allows you to maintain a similar BB height when switching from one wheel size to the other which is key to keeping handling similar for both wheel sizes.
DT Swiss Thru Axle – Working together with DT Swiss, Scott completely revisited the shape of the thru-axle lever to make it more ergonomic and to perfectly fit their frames.
ICCR Cable Routing – Routing the cables internally omits bulky external hardware and looks cleaner. The cables can endure a longer lifetime as they are protected within the frame. The entry points are machined alloy removable inserts that come along with the frame and can be chosen according to the setup of the bike. Assembling an electronic group or a dropper post will not be a problem and the look will always be clean-cut.
Integrated Frame Protection – From the clever downtube protector under the BB and along the downtube to the noise-silencing stay protector, this is a quiet, fast, and armored ride.
Fox 40 Factory – From its new floating axle, redesigned lowers, and updated EVOL air spring, the 40 sets the bar for dual crown forks. This Factory model is indeed what the pros ride, with Kashima coated stanchions and a GRIP2 damper for maximum ride feel and adjustability.
Fork Adjustments – Air Spring Pressure, 8 Clicks High Speed Compression, 16 Clicks Low Speed Compression, 8 Clicks High Speed Rebound with Variable Valve Control, 16 Clicks Low Speed Rebound
SRAM X01 DH 7-Speed – Lightweight, easy to shift, low-profile, and impervious to chain-slap, this DH drivetrain is a world class collection of precision components. Say goodbye to ghost shifts and concentrate on your line.
SRAM Code RSC – Meet the new standard for hard-hitting, heavy-duty braking. SRAM added 15% extra piston power and 30% more volume in the lever reservoir, ensuring peak performance for the full run. And with SwingLink™ and Lever Pivot Bearing technologies, lever feel remains smooth and progressive, no matter how hard the pull. Go deeper and grab more power.
SRAM Centerline Rotors – CenterLine design provides a smooth, consistent, and quiet running braking surface.
Syncros Revelstoke DH 1.5 Wheels – These alloy wheels are made for heavy riding, with 32 straightpull spokes, a six pawl rear hub, and enough heft to survive hour after hour of downhill punishment. They're compliant and durable without being noodley and heavy.
Maxxis Assegai Tires – The signature tire of the World Cup's winningest racer, the Assegai knows how to go fast. The tall knobs punch through dust and loam to find traction, but also offer support and confidence on wet roots and rocks. While other tires excel only in certain conditions, the new Maxxis Assegai is built to win everywhere.
