GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL DATA GAMBLER 700/27.5”

GAMBLER CONCEPT

Gambler 700 is the result of several years of research and development, including 
input and close collaboration with the riders from the SCOTT/Gstaad DH Team. Our 
goal was to develop one of the most versatile and durable DH bikes on the market 
that was also easy to set-up and maintain.

SCOTT’s focus was on creating a durable frame that was lightweight while having 
optimized kinematics of the rear swingarm to match the new 27.5” wheel size. 

Gambler 700 was designed for riders looking for a race oriented DH bike offering a 
rear wheel travel of 210mm.

SCOTT considers the frame, rear shock and kinematics not simply as singular 
components of a bike, but also as a complete package that works holistically to 
deliver an optimal level of functionality.

The Gambler 700 Concept is based on a newly designed multi-pivot technology 
and a floating link design that share many similarities with the previous Gambler. The 
complete frame has been refined to be optimized with the new 27.5” wheel size but is 
also still compatible with 26” wheels.

In combination with the linear coil-over shock characteristics the kinematics 
guarantees a progressive suspension, adapted to smooth riding (beginning of travel) 
as well as extreme jumps (end of travel). 

All new geometry for 27.5” wheels 
and adjusted sizing.
