2025 Orange Stage vs 2024 Scott Ransom

The M is the Scott Ransom size closest to your S Orange Stage. We match frame stack and reach. This is a geometry comparison, not a fit recommendation; stem, spacers, handlebars and saddle setup also affect your riding position.

What changes on the Scott Ransom

Compared with the Orange Stage in S, the Scott Ransom in M places the top of the head tube 17 mm lower and about as far forward, relative to the bottom bracket. Its wheelbase is 32 mm shorter, which can contribute to quicker direction changes.
