Slack 64° head angle, 180mm travel and a long 1287mm wheelbase — composed in the chunk, confident when it gets steep, and stable through fast corners.

EMTB Forums verdict
The 2023 Scott Ransom eRIDE was the brand's full-power enduro e-bike, built around an alloy Horst-link frame with 180mm of travel front and rear and a Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 4 motor (85Nm) fed by an integrated 625Wh PowerTube. A flip-chip at the upper shock mount switched between high and low geometry and allowed a mullet or full 27.5in conversion, giving a slack 64 degree head angle and notably long 465mm chainstays for stability at speed.
Two trims were offered. The flagship 910 (around 6,999 GBP) paired a Fox 38 Performance Elite fork and Fox Float X2 shock with Shimano XT four-piston brakes and a SRAM X01/NX Eagle mix, claiming 24.6kg. The 920 (around 5,999 GBP) swapped to a RockShox ZEB fork, Shimano SLX brakes and a full Shimano XT/Deore 12-speed drivetrain at a claimed 24.8kg. Both ran Syncros finishing kit, Syncros MD30 rims on Formula hubs and a Maxxis Assegai/Dissector tyre pairing in 29 x 2.6in.
It climbs comfortably thanks to the steep seat angle and long rear centre, and descends with the composure you would expect of a 180mm enduro sled, though reviewers flagged the lighter EXO+ casing tyres as a limit on grip in the rough. This model year is now discontinued, superseded by the later 2024/2025 Ransom eRIDE generation.
Geometry read
What the numbers mean on the trail
Computed from this bike's geometry, spec and build kit — reach, wheelbase, chainstay, head and seat angles, travel, motor, weight and the fork/tyre/brake spec — and worked out per size, because a fixed chainstay can make an S and an XL feel very different.

Playfulness

A fair bit of pop, but happiest on flowing trail rather than trials moves.
Size balance
97
Rear-long with a planted front in L (FC:RC 1.77) — easy to weight the front and quick to turn, though it can feel light at the back at real speed.
Technical climbing
76
Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 4 and a steep 76.1° seat angle keep the weight planted over the front — a proper winch. 600W of peak power and 85Nm of torque — a strong full-power motor.
Rewards commitment; it should feel calmer as the speed rises.
The numbers are well balanced for its category.
