2013 Scott Gambler 10

The Gambler 10 is Brendan Fairclough’s World Cup DH replica, a no-compromise DH weapon with custom race-tuned FOX suspension and podium proven components. The Gambler features lower and slacker geometry, a longer shock and tuned leverage ratio. This is World Cup level performance for everyone.

Features

Floating Link

The floating link enabled SCOTT engineers to mix comfort and support, providing the riders with exactly what they need to go fast. There is a subtle dual progressive curve to achieve the goals, but not too exaggerated to avoid shock tuning limitations.

 

The floating link creates a progressive feeling suspension with an almost direct compression of the shock, minimizing DU bushing rotation. This increases shock bushing life and improves small bump sensitivity.

IDS X Dropout

IDS-X dropouts enable the rider to hold a tighter line when the drifting gets rough. This is mainly due to the fact that sliding the rear end becomes easier with a more consistent feel. In addition, the axles are simpler to use and stiffer than traditional pinch bolt rear axles.

The combination of a conical interface and eccentric axle ends add torsional rigidity and ease of us compared to a traditional pinch bolt design.

Adjustable BB Height

When designing the adjustable WC DH race geometry on the new Gambler we knew we wanted to offer what the pros have as stock. However, we also wanted to make sure normal riders would not be held back. Therefore, this bike has two distinctly different feeling setups.

 

The Gambler has two BB height options adjusted by the lower shock bolt. The lower hole provides a 0mm BB Drop, while the upper hole gives a +10mm BB Drop.

 

The Gambler has two head angle options adjusted by the lower shock bolt. The lower hole provides a 62° head angle while the upper hole gives a 63° head angle. The head tube is also very short allowing an extra degree of adjustment by raising or lowering the crowns of the fork. Three centimeters of additional fork height equals one degree of head angle adjustment.

Downtube Protector

The down tube of a DH bike gets abused by rocks kicked up by the front wheel on a regular basis. This adhesive backed lightweight guard provides huge protection where it matters most.

J'aime beaucoup le moment où l'on retrouve les copains en arrivant sur un spot. C'est le moment où toutes les connexions se font dans le cerveau pour se rappeler les bons moments passés avec eux sur le bike. Très rapidement on sait que la session va être bonne, à l'image des précédentes et avec l'espérance que les prochaines seront encore mieux. Rouler avec les amis sur les meilleures pistes du coin et en plus avec les Scott Gambler 2013 c'est ce qui nous fait aimer notre sport.
