In this episode we take a closer look at the new Scott Ransom and the new Pivot Switchblade. The Pivot is a mild tweak of the old Switchblade trail bike, with a subtly slacker head angle, steeper seat angle, and smidge longer reach. And Pivot has shunned internal storage to keep the weight down and the proportions in tact. So has it done enough or played it too safe?By contrast, Scott has pushed the boat out with the new Ransom enduro bike. There's an internal shock hidden in the frame, internal tool storage, and a six-bar linkage. Concealed cables, geometry adjust headset cups and a remote progression and travel switch makes this one complex enduro bike. Find out if all these features make it a winner on the trails. We also take a quick look at some of the other stories that have got our attention recently, including Focus's lightweight Vam2 e-bike and Formula's 10-year spares pledge on forks, brakes, and shocks. 00:00 - Intro00:23 - Focus Vam201:49 - Trail centre under threat03:10 - Formula 10-year parts pledge04:18 - New Pivot Switchblade10:08 - New Scott Ransom
