So from your description, I take it your personal definition of an Allround Bike is JUST those disciplines. Now lets not wheel out the old chesnut of "What IS Freeride?" argument, but seriously that bike has a very limited range of what it can actually do for the rider.It looks like the perfect all round bike. From dirt jumping and maybe a dabble in 4x all the way to dh racing.
Well spotted, didn't even notice that. It's pretty strange that the 30 is almost a kilo lighter than the 20 when the spec is actually very similar. Could the tires and shock make that much of a difference?Did anyone notice that scott claim the base model (FR 30) is lighter than the mid range FR 20 and the upper range FR 10?
Appropriate words from a Ransom owner ha ha!So from your description, I take it your personal definition of an Allround Bike is JUST those disciplines.

Wont go uphill.
Wont go long distance?
Wouldnt want to pedal it anywhere for that matter.
OK so if your really a SCOTT fan and have to have a bike that pedals up and BOMBS down, you probably will buy a RANSOM, so maybe this bike does fit into a niche market in North America & Europe, but where would this bike excell in Oz?
