Season:2026

THE ALL-NEW SCOTT GAMBLER IS THE ULTIMATE TOOL FOR RACING, BRED TO CRUSH SPLIT TIMES AND RAIL INSIDE LINES. DEVELOPED WITH (AND AGAINST) THE WORLD’S FASTEST, THE ALL-NEW GAMBLER GIVES YOU EVERY COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE TO GET THE EDGE OVER THE REST OF THE FIELD ON ANY TRACK.

Engineered with our Integrated Suspension Technology, the shock and linkage are positioned low and central to lower the mass and optimize weight distribution. This translates into noticeable improvements in handling, traction, and high-speed stability.

With a broad range of adjustment options, the Gambler adapts seamlessly to any track, rider preference, or condition. And now, with our refined 6-bar suspension layout, the Gambler delivers an unparalleled suspension experience—balanced, predictable, and brutally fast.

From its inception, the Gambler was designed to dominate — every frame construction also channels impact forces more efficiently track, every condition. Built from the ground up using our advanced integration approach, the frame was developed to deliver race-ready performance with a focus on balance, composure, and responsiveness. The frame boasts 210mm of rear travel, utilizing SCOTT’s patented Integrated Suspension Technology. By positioning the shock and linkages closer to the bottom bracket, we’ve centralized mass to improve traction in off-camber sections, boost agility in tight corners, and maintain composure in high-speed compressions. This to the shock, reducing lateral loads and extending bearing and bushing life while improving suspension sensitivity. Drawing on our expertise in carbon layup engineering, we created a custom compliance profile tailored to the demands of modern downhill tracks. Our engineers built a “flex library” by benchmarking competitors and our previous frames, ultimately landing on a tuned blend of compliance and stiffness. Reinforcements around the BB and headtube deliver stability under load, while frame flex has been optimized to enhance wheel tracking and rider feedback.

The frame accommodates all most commonly used shocks on the market — coil or air. An oversized downtube opening allows for effortless access to adjust shock settings, while a secondary seat tube hatch enables easy tuning of rebound and mounting hardware. Both access points are covered with durable frame covers to keep dust and debris out of the system.

Suspension design is all about balancing strengths and minimizing trade-offs. The key is finding the layout that allows maximum control, with minimal compromise. That’s what the 6-bar platform achieves. Our 6-bar design gives engineers independent control over critical suspensioncharacteristics — leverage rate, anti-squat, and anti-rise— each adjustable on their own. The result? A system that’s more tuneable, more predictable, and more adaptable to modern DH racing.

Flip the front shock mount to raise or lower the BB between two positions that change the bottom bracket height by 16mm, letting you fine-tune your position and weight distribution between the front and rear wheels.

With ±6mm headset cups included, you can precisely dial reach to suit body size or riding style so you never LONG NEUTRAL SHORThave to worry about falling between two sizes.

Easily switch between 445mm and 460mm stays using a flip chip and swapable dropouts. Go short for agility, long for stability.

The same flip chip used for BB height can also adjust the progression rate. Choose MORE PROGESSIVE (30%) for more off-top sensitivity and an increased bottom-out resistance, or LESS PROGRESSIVE (25%) for improved mid-stroke support and more predictability on g-outs.

The downtube cover protects internals from impact and trail chunder, while providing quick and easy access to the shock. It also includes a Syncros multitool to check your frame or tweak your shock setup on the fly. The rear shock cover located at the back of the seat tube grants easy access to rebound adjusters and mounting hardware.

The integrated travel indicator makes setting suspension easy and precise. Dial in your sag on the rear wheel, keep track of the travel use, and fine-tune spring and damping for optimal performance.

Fully guided cable routing means no hassle, no rattles. Just a silent bike and more time to ride it. Multiple routing ports allow for standard or moto brake configurations.

The built-in bottle cage mounts are ready for whatever you need. Racers can attach a data acquisition system, while park rats can stash water or spare parts for quick laps and lift rides.
