The new Scott Gambler is the ultimate tool for downhill racing and is designed to break best times and master challenging trails. Working closely with some of the fastest riders in the world, the Gambler has been designed to provide a competitive advantage on any terrain.

Thanks to integrated suspension technology, the shock and rocker arm are positioned centrally and low, optimizing weight distribution and improving handling, traction and stability at high speeds. At the heart of the Gambler is the innovative 6-bar suspension system, which enables precise tuning of the leverage ratio, anti-squat and anti-rise. This technology ensures a predictable, balanced and adaptable ride that is specially tailored to the requirements of modern downhill trails. The leverage curve has been optimized to make efficient use of the entire suspension, while Anti-Squat and Anti-Rise provide stability and traction without compromising suspension activity.

The adaptability of the Gambler is another highlight. With five independent adjustment options, the bike can be customized to suit your riding style, trail conditions and wheel configuration. The bottom bracket height can be varied by 16 millimetres to optimize weight distribution, while the chainstay length can be adjusted between 445 millimetres and 460 millimetres - short for more agility, long for additional stability. The progression of the suspension can also be adjusted: A more progressive setting offers more sensitivity and bottom-out protection, while a less progressive setting allows for more even support in the mid-travel range.

The Gambler's frame was developed using state-of-the-art integration technology. With 210 millimetres of rear suspension travel and centralized mass distribution, the frame offers improved traction in difficult passages, more agility in tight corners and stability at high speeds. The design reduces lateral loads and extends the service life of bearings and bushings. Thanks to an optimized carbon layup, the frame offers the perfect balance between stiffness and compliance to meet the demands of modern downhill trails.

Another feature of the Gambler is its compatibility with almost all common shocks, be it air or steel spring shocks. Large openings in the down tube and seat tube allow easy access to the shock settings, while robust covers protect the system from dirt and dust. An integrated travel indicator facilitates precise adjustment of the sag and suspension, allowing riders to optimize their performance.

The geometry of the Gambler is designed for maximum control and speed. With a slack steering angle of 62.5 degrees (low BB setting) and a long wheelbase, the bike offers stability at high speeds, while the ability to adjust the reach by ±6 millimetres ensures a custom fit. The frame is optimized for an MX wheel setup (29-inch front, 27.5-inch rear), but can also be fully equipped with 29-inch wheels.

For protection and maintenance, the Gambler is equipped with well thought-out details. A cover on the down tube protects the internal components from impacts and dirt, while an integrated multi-tool allows for quick adjustments on the go. The fully routed cable guide ensures a silent ride and makes maintenance easier.

The Scott Gambler is available in two main variants: The Gambler RC is the top model with a carbon HMX frame, Fox 40 Factory suspension fork and Fox DH X2 Factory shock. Weighing just 16.84 kilograms (tubeless), it is race-ready and equipped with high-quality components such as Sram XO1 DH gears and Race Face Atlas wheels. The Gambler 10 offers a more affordable option with a carbon MMX main frame and an aluminum rear swingarm. It is equipped with a RockShox Boxxer Base suspension fork and a RockShox Vivid Coil shock and weighs 17.54 kilograms (tubeless).

Both models are designed for riders who want to get the most out of their downhill experiences - be it on the race track or in the bike park. With its combination of innovative technology, adaptability and high-quality equipment, the Scott Gambler sets new standards in the downhill sector.
