Future Pro Ransom
Never Too Young
Future Pro Ransom
The Ransom 600 and 400 are fast and capable enduro bikes that you and your kids' dreams are made of. These bikes aren’t simply a shrunk-down version of our “big” Ransom. They were developed from scratch for passionate little riders ready to join their mountain bike loving mom and dad on a capable Ransom of their own.
The long-travel suspension both front and rear are paired with a lightweight frame and geometry that provides a very low standover height and promotes a stable, balanced, and safe position on the bike. This allows kids to tackle descents with confidence, and when they are ready to pedal back up for more, the Syncros Ducan Dropper keeps the transitions quick. Both bikes can be fitted with 24” or 26” wheels allowing this bike to last even while your kid(s) grow!

Bike Details
GEOMETRY & BALANCE
We built the Ransom 400 and 600 with the same aggressive intentions as the “big” Ransom, but for a kid. At the same time, we wanted to support a balanced position with equalized weight over both wheels for a safer ride. For the bike, this means a slack head angle and low BB for stable and confident cornering. The extra low standover height allows kids to put their feet down if needed and a short head tube keeps the handlebar low and weight over their front wheel, giving control over their line. The reach and seat angles work well whether you’re seated or upright in the ‘attack’ position giving riders confidence to handle any terrain. Relative to the bike’s size, the chainstays are a good balance between short for snappy rear-end handling and long enough to offer control.
Adjustability & Longevity
Built for adjustability, both the Ransom 400 and 600 feature the same lightweight alloy frame that can run 24” or 26” wheels thanks to our simple flip-chip system you also find on other SCOTT frames. This allows families to buy a bike that can grow (or shrink for siblings). The alloy frame is lightweight for little riders to maneuver easily yet durable to last the test of time.
Suspension & Components
We built this bike for kids who would be hitting some serious terrain and then pedaling up for more. At the same time, it was central to the development to have a bike that worked well for riders who are light. That’s why we equipped the Ransom 400 and 600 with a 140mm fork and 130mm rear shock, both with custom tuning for kids. This means suspension that works better for a smoother, less exhausting ride.
The Syncros Ducan Dropper 80mm allows kids to get the seat down and out of their way when descending and pop it back up quickly and easily. A special kid’s tunes makes this easy when they’re ready to pedal back up for more.
