GENERAL WARNING
Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a
bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that risk, so you need to know — and to
practice — the rules of safe and responsible riding and of proper use and mainte-
nance. Proper use and maintenance of your bicycle reduces risk of injury.
This Manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of
failure to maintain or inspect your bicycle and of failure to follow safe cycling practices.
WARNING
This symbol indicates a hazardous situation which could result in death or
serious injury – if the relevant operational instructions are not followed or if
the relevant protective measures are not taken.
CAUTION
This symbol indicates a hazardous situation which could result in minor or
moderate injury – if the relevant operational instructions are not followed or
if the relevant protective measures are not taken.
NOTICE
This symbol is used to address practices not related to physical injury – which
may, however, result in damage to property and the environment.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This symbol indicates specific safety-related instructions or procedures
about how to handle the product or refers to a section in the operating in-
structions that deserves your particular attention.
Many of the Warnings and Cautions say “you may lose control and fall”. Because
any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not always repeat the
warning of possible injury or death.
Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition which can occur
while riding, this Manual makes no representation about the safe use of the bicycle
under all conditions. There are risks associated with the use of any bicycle which
cannot be predicted or avoided, and which are the sole responsibility of the rider.
The described possible consequences will not be repeated in the SCOTT general
manual every time one of the symbols appears.
The present general manual together with the detailed original SCOTT -operat
ing instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and
“Road Bike” on the SCOTT web page complies with the requirements of the EN
ISO standards 4210-2 for city and trekking, young adult, mountain and racing
bicycles as well as the EN ISO standard 8098 for bicycles for young children.
I t is essential to also observe the detailed original SCOTT operating instructions
“Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the
SCOTT web page, your model specific manual and the manuals of the component
manufacturers. For additional information on your bicycle and the web links for the
component manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you
have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.

SAFETY AND BEHAVIOUR
Dear SCOTT Customer,
Congratulations on your purchase of a new SCOTT bike. We are confident that the
bike will exceed your expectations for quality, functioning and riding characteristics.
Our SCOTT frames and components are customized and adjusted to suit the needs
of the users to enhance your joy when riding on your new SCOTT bike – whether you
are a beginner or a non-professional road racer or not!
To ensure that you ride safely and with joy, we strongly encourage you to take the
time to read this SCOTT general manual thoroughly.
If you have purchased a bike for your child, make sure he/she understands SCOTT
the information contained in this manual and can handle the new SCOTT bike
accordingly.
In purchasing this bike you have chosen a product of high quality. Each SCOTT
component of your new bike has been designed, manufactured and asSCOTT -
sembled with great care and expertise. Your dealer gave the bike its final SCOTT
assembly and made a functional check. This guarantees you pleasure and a sense
of confidence from the very first turn of the pedals.
This SCOTT general manual contains a wealth of useful facts on the proper use of
your SCOTT bike, its maintenance and operation as well as interesting information
on bike design and engineering. Read this SCOTT general manual thoroughly. We
are sure that even if you have been cycling for many years you will find it worthwhile.
Bike technology has developed at a rapid pace during recent years.
Therefore, before setting off on your new bike, you should read at least the SCOTT
chapter “Tests before your first ride”.
To ensure as much fun and safety as possible during cycling, be sure to carry out
the functional check described in the chapter “Tests before every ride” before set-
ting off on your SCOTT bike.
Even a manual as detailed as an encyclopaedia could not describe every possible
combination of available bicycle models and components. The SCOTT general
manual therefore focuses on your newly purchased SCOTT bike and standard
components and provides useful information and warnings.
When doing any adjusting and servicing, be aware that the detailed instructions
provided in your manual only refer to this SCOTT bike.
The information included here is not applicable to any other bicycle type. As
bicycles come in a wide variety of designs with frequent model changes, the
routines described may require complementary information. It is essential to also
observe the detailed original operating instructions “Trekking and TrekSCOTT -
king-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the SCOTT web page,
your model specific manual and the manuals of the component manufacturers.
Be aware that these instructions may require further explanation, depending on
the experience and/or skills of the person doing the work. For some jobs you may
require additional (special) tools or supplementary instructions.
This manual cannot teach you the skills of a bicycle mechanic.

GENERAL MANUAL | OWNER’S MANUAL 2023
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For additional information on your bicycle and the web links for the compo-
nent manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have
purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
Before you set off, let us point out a few things to you that are very important to
every cyclist: Never ride without a properly adjusted helmet and without glasses.
Make sure to wear suitable, bright clothing, as a minimum you should wear straight
cut trousers and or leg bands and shoes fitting the pedal system. Always ride
carefully on public roads as well as off-road and observe the traffic rules so as not
to endanger yourself or others.
This manual cannot teach you how to ride. Please be aware that cycling is a po-
tentially dangerous activity that requires the rider to stay in control of his or her
SCOTT bike at all times. If necessary, attend a beginners course for cyclists, as
offered here and there.
Like any sport, cycling involves the risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a
bike, you assume the responsibility for the risk. Please note that on a bike you have
no protection technique around you like you have in a car (e.g. bodywork, ABS,
airbag). Therefore, always ride carefully and respect the other traffic participants.
Never ride under the influence of drugs, medication, alcohol or when you are tired.
Do not ride with a second person on your bike and never ride without havSCOTT -
ing both hands on the handlebars.
Observe the legal regulations concerning off-road cycling and public roads. These
regulations may differ in each country.
Respect nature when riding through the forest and in the open countryside. Only
use your bike on signposted, well maintained trails and hard-surface roads.
If you purchased a kids’ bike, observe the chapter “ kids’ bikes“ in SCOTT SCOTT
your detailed owner’s manual before your child sets off on it for the first SCOTT
time. There are special traffic regulations for children in some countries.
First, we would like to familiarize you with the various components of your SCOTT bike.
Please unfold the cover of the SCOTT general manual. There you will find a SCOTT city/
trekking, SCOTT mountain bike and a SCOTT road bike showing all the essential com-
ponents. Leave the page unfolded as you read so that you can easily locate the compo-
nents as they are referred to in the text.
WARNING
For your own safety, never do any work or adjusting when servicing your bike
unless you feel absolutely sure about it. If you are in doubt or if you have any
questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
Do not hitch yourself and your bike to a car. Do not ride freehand. Only take
your feet off the pedals, if required by the condition of the road.

Condition 3 SCOTT Bikes
In general, SCOTT condition 3 bicycles (c-e) are mountain bike hardtails and
full-suspension bikes with short suspension travel. They are used, for example, for
sports and competition rides on trails of moderate technical demands (f).
SCOTT condition 3 bikes are designed for use on rough paths, uneven, unpaved
roads as well as in difficult terrain and on undeveloped paths. Their use requires
technical riding skills. Sporadic jumps/drops may be performed up to a height of
60cm.
In addition, they are intended for cross-country use and races on easy or interme-
diate to aggressive surfaces (e.g. hilly with small obstacles, such as roots, rocks,
loose and hard surfaces as well as dents). However, less experienced riders may
lack the proper technique when landing their jumps, which increases the forces
acting on the equipment, and thus the risk of damage and injuries. SCOTT -recom
mends that you train your skills in a riding technique course.
If necessary, ask your SCOTT dealer to inspect your bike at shorter interSCOTT -
vals than according to the SCOTT service and maintenance schedule.
These wheels or bikes are, however, not suitable for use on blocked terrain, tricks,
stair riding, etc., training and competitive use in the categories freeride, dirt, down-
hill as well as hardest freeriding, extreme downhill, dirt jump, slope style or very
aggressive or extreme riding.
Due to their design and fittings, are generally not intendSCOTT condition3 bikes -
ed to be used on public roads. If you want to use them on public roads, these bikes
must be fitted with the prescribed equipment (lighting system, bell). Observe the
traffic rules when riding on public roads. You find more information in the chapter
“Legal requirements for riding on public roads” in the translation of your detailed
original SCOTT SCOTT operating instructions “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” on the web
page.
You find details as to the on the sticker on maximum permissible overall weight
the frame of your bike and in the chapter “Notes on the maximum perSCOTT -
missible overall weight”. Under certain circumstances the permissible maximum
weight can be further limited by the component manufacturers’ recommendations
for use.

Condition 5 SCOTT Bikes
SCOTT condition 5 bikes (a-c) are suitable for extreme sports, i.e. jumps, jumps
from obstacles (drops), high speeds or aggressive riding over rough surfaces or
landing on uneven surfaces. This kind of riding is, however, extremely dangerous
and introduces unforeseeable forces on a bicycle which can overstress the frame,
the fork or the components.
If you decide to ride off-road on a , you have to take apSCOTT condition 5 bikes -
propriate safety measures, such as more frequent servicing of your bike and the re-
placement of fittings and equipment. You should also wear comprehensive safety
equipment, such as a full-face helmet, protection pads and body protectors.
SCOTT condition 5 bikes are designed for use on most challenging terrains, e.g. on
North Shore trails, and for slope style, but only by highly skilled and experienced
riders. Jumps/drops may also be performed above a height of 120cm.
SCOTT condition 5 bikes are intended for man-made dirt jumps, ramps, skate
parks and other predictable obstacles and terrains which are rather a challenge
to the rider’s skills and his control of the bike than to suspension features. SCOTT
dirt jump bikes are used like heavy-duty BMX bikes. SCOTT condition5 bikes are
however not designed for terrain, slopes or landings which require long suspension
travels to compensate the shocks of the landing and to keep control.
Due to their design and fittings, are generally not intendSCOTT condition5 bikes -
ed to be used on public roads. If you want to use them on public roads, these bikes
must be fitted with the prescribed equipment (lighting system, bell).
Observe the traffic rules when riding on public roads. You find more information
in the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on public roads” in the translation of
your detailed original operating instructions “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” on SCOTT
the SCOTT web page.
You find details as to the on the sticker on maximum permissible overall weight
the frame of your bike and in the chapter “Notes on the maximum perSCOTT -
missible overall weight”. Under certain circumstances the permissible maximum
weight can be further limited by the component manufacturers’ recommendations
for use.

GENERAL MANUAL | OWNER’S MANUAL 2023
WARNING
Due to the higher loads, SCOTT condition 5 bikes should be checked for pos-
sible damage after every ride. Three inspections per year at least carried out
by your SCOTT dealer are obligatory.
For your own safety, do not overestimate your riding skills. Note that though
looking easy the riding manoeuvres of a professional are hazardous to your
life and limb. Always protect yourself with suitable clothing.
Trailers, child seats and luggage carriers are not permitted on SCOTT grav-
ity, freeride, downhill and dirt jump bikes. Note that SCOTT will not assume
liability or provide guarantee for the use of trailers, child seats and luggage
carriers.
N OTICE
The use of Turbo/Smart Indoor Trainers is not permitted with SCOTT carbon
road bikes. If you wish to use such a device, you do so at your own risk and
SCOTT Sports SA accepts no risk or responsibility.

Condition 6 SCOTT Bikes
SCOTT condition 6 bikes (d-f) are designed for riding exclusively on hard-surface
paths and roads with asphalted or paved surface. The tyres must remain in con-
stant contact with the ground. Steps or kerbs may only be ridden carefully up to a
maximum height of 15cm.
They are intended for sports and competition rides under high exertion. The in-
tended range of the average speed is between 30 and 50kmh (18.6 and 31mph).
These bikes are not suitable for cross country use, jumps, slides, stair riding,
stoppies, wheelies, tricks, etc., not for offroad and cyclo-cross use or for rides with

NOTES ON THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE OVERALL WEIGHT
The maximum overall weight limit is calculated as follows:
Weight bicycle (kg)
+ Weight cyclist (kg)
+ Weight luggage (e.g. backpack, pannier bags)
+ Weight child seat, trailer including load, persons and/or pets (kg), if approved
= maximum permissible overall weight (kg)
You find details as to the maximum permissible overall weight on the sticker on the
frame of your SCOTT bike (d).
You find details as to the weight of your SCOTT bike / pedelec on our webSCOTT -
site at www.scott-sports.com with your model at “Specifications” (e).
N OTICE
If a trailer is used, the overall weight of the trailer (trailer + load) is counted as
part of the overall weight of the bicycle and must be considered in the maxi-
mum permissible overall weight of the bicycle.
NOTES ON THE TRANSPORT OF LOADS AND ON CARRYING
CHILDREN AND/OR PETS WITH YOUR SCOTT BIKE
Permission for use of a trailer with your SCOTT bike
Children/pet/cargo trailers are only permitted for use with bikes if outlined SCOTT
on the weight card which came with your bicycle.
Children/pet/cargo trailers are not permitted for use with:
• SCO TT bikes with carbon frames or forks
• Full-suspension SCOTT bikes
• Speed pedelecs
• Children’s and junior bikesSCOTT
WARNING
Check your weight card (f).
b ca
ENGLISH OWNER’S MANUAL 2023 | GENERAL MANUAL
| 22
Children’s tandem bike systems are not permitted on principal.
Only trailers with two side-by-side wheels are permitted . Single-track trailers (a)
are not permitted for use with SCOTT bikes.
The trailer must be fixed to the left dropout only . Other mounting connections (b)
(seat post, luggage carrier, etc.) are not permitted.
Have your child/pet/cargo trailer mounted exclusively by your SCOTT dealer.
WARNING
Ask your SCOTT dealer for appropriate child/pet/cargo trailers.
Observe the maximum permissible gross weight of the child/pet/cargo trail-
er. You find this information on the trailer and/or in the accompanying user
manuals of the respective manufacturer. If you are in doubt, contact your
SCOTT dealer.
Observe the maximum permissible overall weight of your SCOTT bike.
Use a child/pet/cargo trailer only, if permitted by the national and regional
regulations in the country where you are travelling.
Observe the national and regional regulations on the use of child/pet/cargo
trailers.
Always observe the maximum permissible overall weight of your bicycle
when adding a trailer and observe the chapter “Notes on the maximum per-
missible overall weight”.
The following points have to be observed when using a child/pet/cargo trailer:
• Never set off before having safely stowed the objects in the trailer, i.e. actively se-
cured with tightening straps . Cargo shifting may otherwise negatively affect (c)
the centre of gravity and thus the riding behaviour.
• Stow heavy objects as far down as possible and towards the centre of the trailer.
When distributing the loads make sure the trailer is loaded as evenly as possible.
• Uncontrolled movements of the child or pet can cause your SCOTT bike and/or
the trailer to tilt. Therefore, always buckle up your children and pets in the trailer.
e fd
ENGLISH 23 |
GENERAL MANUAL | OWNER’S MANUAL 2023
• Do not overload your child/pet/cargo trailer. Overloading can result in breakage
of the frame, the fork or the components. Risk of accident and injury!
• If your trailer obstructs the lighting equipment of your bike, you have to SCOTT
mount the lighting equipment visibly to the trailer. Before riding in the dark, pro-
vide the rear end of the trailer with a battery/accumulator-operated lamp (d).
• Equip your trailer with a high safety flag to be seen better by other road users.
• Make sure your child always wears a helmet. Be a good example and remember
to always wear a helmet (e) yourself.
• Adjust the tyre pressure to the additional weight. The maximum pressure is (f)
indicated on the tyre side.
• Make yourself familiar with the modified riding and braking behaviour of your
SCOTT bike with child/pet/cargo trailer in an area free of traffic.
• Adjust your riding style especially in wet conditions to the modified riding char-
acteristics and braking response of your SCOTT bike.
• Start by practising riding with an empty trailer in an area free of traffic. If you feel
secure practise riding with your child or pet or the additional load in an area free
of traffic.
• Luggage and cargo or the weight of children or pets generally modify the riding
characteristics of your bike and extend the stopping distance! Therefore, SCOTT
practise riding and braking with your loaded SCOTT bike in a place free of traffic.
Ride particularly considerately and anticipate critical situations.
WARNING
Observe the maximum permissible speed limit of the child/pet/cargo trailer.
You find this information in the accompanying user manuals of the respective
manufacturer.

TESTS BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
1. If you want to use your bike on public roads, it has to comply with legal re-
quirements. These requirements may vary in each country. The fittings of your
SCOTT SCOTT bike are, therefore, not necessarily complete. Ask your dealer
concerning the laws and regulations applicable in your country or in the country
you intend to use your bike. Have your bike equipped accordingSCOTT SCOTT -
ly before using it on public roads.
For more information see the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on public
roads” in your detailed original operating instructions “Trekking and SCOTT
Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the SCOTT
web page.
2. Are you familiar with the brake system (d)?
Have a look at the SCOTT handover
report in the Quick Start Manual and check whether the brake lever of the front
brake is on the side you are used to (right or left). If it is not, ask your SCOTT
dealer to switch the brake levers before you set off for the first time.
Your new bike is equipped with modern brakes which may be far more powerful
than those you were used to so far. Be sure to rst practise using the brakes on
a level, non-slip surface off public roads! Slowly approach higher brake perfor-
mances and speeds.
For more information see the chapter “Brakes” in this general manual. For addi-
tional information on your bicycle and the web links for the component manu-
facturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have purchased
via your Quick Start Manual.
3. Are you familiar with the type and functioning of the gears ? Ask your (e) SCOTT
dealer to explain you the gear system and make yourself familiar with your new
gears in an area free of traffic, if necessary.
For more information see the chapter “Gears” in your detailed original SCOTT -op
erating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and
“Road Bike” on the SCOTT web page and your model specific manual.
4. Are saddle and handlebars properly adjusted? The saddle should be set to a
height from which you can just reach the pedal in its lowest position with your
heel. The hips should remain horizontal . Check whether your toes reach to (f)
the floor when you are sitting on the saddle (a, p.28) (exception: full suspension
SCOTT bikes). Your dealer will be pleased to help you, if you are not SCOTT
happy with your seating position.
e fd
ENGLISH 29 |
GENERAL MANUAL | OWNER’S MANUAL 2023
WARNING
Due to their specific intended use, some SCOTT dirt bikes are fitted with only
one brake. There is, however, always a second brake supplied which can be
mounted, if necessary. Do not ride these bikes on public roads, but SCOTT
only on enclosed terrain.
A lack of practice when using clipless pedals or too much spring tension in
the mechanism can lead to a very firm connection, from which you cannot
quickly step out! Risk of falling!
In case you had a crash with your bike, perform at least the check SCOTT
described in the chapters “Tests before every ride“ and “Tests after an
accident“. Only ride back very carefully on your SCOTT bike, if it passed the
tests without any problems. Do not accelerate or brake hard and do not ride
your bike out of the saddle. If you are in doubt, have yourself picked up by
car, instead of taking any risk. Back home you need to check your SCOTT
bike thoroughly once again. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions,
contact your SCOTT dealer!
Before you set off for the first time practice shifting gears in a place free of
traffic until you are familiar with the functioning of the levers (d) or twist
grips (e) of your SCOTT bike.
NOTICE
We recommend that you take out a private liability insurance. Make sure that
coverage for bicycle damage is provided by your insurance. Contact your
insurance company or agency.
Always make sure changing gears makes as little noise as possible and is
absolutely jerk-free.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before towing a trailer with your SCOTT city bike (f), SCOTT trekking bike or
SCOTT hardtail mountain bike read chapter “Notes on the transport of loads
and on carrying children and/or pets with your SCOTT bike”.
Before mounting a child carrier, check whether your SCOTT bike is permit-
ted for child carriers. You will find the respective information in the chapter
“Intended use of your SCOTT bike” or in the hand over report in the SCOTT
Quick Start Manual. Contact your SCOTT dealer.

TESTS BEFORE EVERY RIDE
Your SCOTT bike has undergone numerous tests during production and a final
check has been carried out by your dealer. Nevertheless, be sure to check SCOTT
the following points to exclude any malfunctioning that may be due to the trans-
port of your bike or to changes a third person may have performed on SCOTT
your SCOTT bike before delivery:
1. Are the quick-release levers , thru axles or nuts of the front and rear wheel, (a)
the seat post and other components properly closed? For more information see
the chapter “Using quick-releases and thru axles” in this SCOTT general manual
as well as in your detailed original operating instructions “Trekking and SCOTT
Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the SCOTT
web page and your model specific manual.
2. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sufficient pressure ? The (b)
minimum and maximum pressure (in bar or PSI) is indicated on the tyre side
(c). For more information see the chapter “Wheels and tyres” in your detailed
original SCOTT operating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB
and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the SCOTT web page and your model
specific manual.
3. Spin the wheels to check whether the rims are true. If you have disc brakes,
watch the gap between frame and rim or tyre and, if you have rim brakes,
between brake pad and rim . Untrue rims can be an indication of tyres with (d)
ruptured sides or broken spokes.
For more information see the chapter “Wheels and tyres” in your detailed
original SCOTT operating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB
and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the SCOTT web page and your model
specific manual.
4. Test the brakes in stationary by firmly pulling the brake levers towards the
handlebars (e). The brake pads of must hit the rim evenly with their rim brakes
entire surface without touching the tyre during braking, in open condition or in
between. Make sure you cannot pull the brake levers all the way to the handle-
bars and check the hydraulic brake cables for oil or brake fluid leaks! Check the
thickness of the brake pads, as well.
With disc brakes you should have a stable pressure point at once. If you have to
actuate the brake lever more than once to get a positive braking response, have
the SCOTT SCOTT bike checked by your dealer immediately.

For more information see the chapter “Brakes” in this general manual. For addi-
tional information on your bicycle and the web links for the component manu-
facturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have purchased
via your Quick Start Manual.
5. Let your bike bounce on the ground from a small height. If there is any SCOTT
rattling, check where it comes from. Check the bearings and bolted connec-
tions, if necessary. Tighten them slightly, if necessary.
6. In case you have a bike with suspension, press down on your SCOTT SCOTT
bike and see whether the spring elements retract and extend as usual. For more
information see the chapters “Front suspension”, “Rear suspension“ and “Sus-
pension seat posts“ in this general manual as well as in your detailed SCOTT
original SCOTT operating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB
and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the SCOTT web page and your model
specific manual.
7. If your bike has a kick-stand, make sure it is fully raised before you set off. (f)
Risk of falling!
8. Do not forget to take a high quality D- or chain lock with you on your ride. The
only way to effectively protect your bike against theft is to lock it to an SCOTT
immovable object.
9. If you want to ride on public roads, make sure your bike is equipped acSCOTT -
cording to the applicable regulations of your country. Riding without lights and
reflectors in dark or dim conditions is very dangerous, because you will be seen
too late or not at all by other road users.
A set of lights that corresponds to the regulations is a must on public roads.
Turn on the lights as soon as dusk sets in. For more information see the chapter
“Legal requirements for riding on public roads” in your detailed original SCOTT
operating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-
Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the web page and your model specific SCOTT
manual.
WARNING
Do not use your bike, if it fails at one of these points! A defective SCOTT
SCOTT bike can l ead to serious accidents! If you are in doubt or if you have
any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.

WARNING
Improperly closed fastenings (a), e.g. quick-releases, can cause parts of your
SCOTT bike to come loose and result in serious accidents!
Be aware that the distance you need to stop your bike increases, when you
are riding with your hands on aero bars , on bar ends or on multi-position (b)
handlebars. The brake levers are not always within easy reach.
During use your SCOTT bike is undergoing stress resulting from the surface
of the road and from the rider’s action. Due to these dynamic loads, the
different parts of your bike react with wear and fatigue. Please check your
SCOTT bike regularly, i.e. according to the SCOTT service and maintenance
schedule (c), for wear marks, scratches, deformations, colour changes and
any indication of cracking. Components which have reached the end of their
service life may break without previous warning. Let your SCOTT dealer
maintain and service your SCOTT bike regularly. In cases of doubt it is always
best to replace components.

USING QUICK-RELEASES AND THRU AXLES
QUICK-RELEASES ON THE SCOTT BIKE
Most SCOTT -bikes are fitted with quick-releases to ensure fast adjustments, assem
bly and disassembly. Be sure to check whether all quick-releases are tight before
you set off on your bike. Quick-releases should be handled with greatest SCOTT
care, as they affect your safety directly.
Practice the proper use of quick-releases to avoid any accidents.
Quick-release retention mechanisms essentially consist of two operative elements
(d):
1. The hand lever on one side of the hub which creates a clamping force via a cam
when you close it.
2. The tightening nut on the other side of the hub with which the preload on the
threaded rod (quick-release axle) is set.
CAUTION
Do not touch the brake disc directly after having stopped, e.g. after a long
down-hill ride, you may burn your fingers! Always let the brake disc cool
down before opening the quick-release.
Safe fastening of a component with a quick-release
Open the quick-release. You should now be able to read “Open“ on the lever. (e)
Make sure the component to be fastened is in the accurate position.
For more information see the chapters “Adjusting the SCOTT bike to the rider”
and “Wheels and tyres” in this general manual as well as in your detailed orig-
inal SCOTT operating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and
MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the SCOTT web page and your model specific
manual. For additional information on your bicycle and the web links for the com-
ponent manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have
purchased via your Quick Start Manual. There you will also find information on the
RWS system from DT-Swiss.
Move the lever back, as if to close it. Now you should be able to read ”Close“ on the
outside of the lever. When you start closing the lever you should feel virtually no
resistance with your hand until the lever is at a right angle to the frame/fork.
ENGLISH | 34 OWNER’S MANUAL 2023 | GENERAL MANUAL
When continuing to close the lever the resistance you feel should increase signifi-
cantly and towards the end even more strength is required to close the lever. Use
the ball of your thumb while your fingers pull on an immovable part, such as the
fork (f, p. 33) or a rear stay, but not on a brake disc or spoke, to push it in all the
way.
In its end position, the lever should be at a right angle to the quick-release axle, i.e.
it should not stand out. The lever should lie close to the frame or the fork so that it
cannot be opened accidentally. Make sure, however, that the lever is easy to handle
for actual quick use.
To check whether the lever is securely locked apply pressure to the end of the
hand lever and try to turn it while it is closed. If you can turn the lever around, open
it and increase the preload. Screw the tightening nut on the opposite side clock-
wise by half a turn. Close the quick-release lever and check it again for tightness.
Finally lift the bike a few centimetres, so that the wheel no longer touches the
ground and hit the tyre from above. If it is properly fastened, the wheel will remain
firmly fixed in the drop-outs of the frame or fork without producing any rattling.
If your seat post is equipped with a quick-release mechanism, check whether the
saddle is firmly fixed by trying to twist it relative to the frame.
WARNING
Make sure the levers of both wheel quick-releases are always on the side op-
posite to the chain. This will help you to avoid mounting the front wheel ac-
cidentally the wrong way round. In the case of bikes with disc brakes SCOTT
and quick-releases having a 5-mm-axle, it may be reasonable to mount both
quick-releases with the lever on the side of the chain drive. This helps you not
to come into contact with the hot brake disc and prevents you from having
your fingers burnt. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact
your SCOTT dealer.
Never ride your SCOTT bike without having checked first, whether the wheels
are securely fastened. With an insufficiently closed quick-release the wheel
can come loose, thus creating a serious risk of accident!
NOTICE
If your SCOTT bike is equipped with quick-releases, be sure to lock the frame
to an immovable object together with the wheels when you leave it outside.
Anti-theft protection!
To be on the safe side you can replace the quick-releases by special locks.
They can only be opened and closed with a special, coded key or an Allen
key. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT
dealer.

ENGLISH 35 |
GENERAL MANUAL | OWNER’S MANUAL 2023
THRU AXLES ON THE SCOTT BIKE
Thru axles are mounted when bikes have to withstand high stress. On (a+b) SCOTT
forks and in particular together with disc brakes they make for extreme stiffness.
Safe mounting of wheels with thru axles
There is a wide range of thru-axle systems available now. Some systems are tight-
ened with quick-releases. Other systems may require special tools for assembly or
disassembly.
Read therefore in any case the chapter “Using quick-releases and thru axles”
in your detailed original operating instructions “Trekking and TrekSCOTT -
king-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the SCOTT web page
and your model specific manual and in the manuals of the suspension fork, thru
axle and wheel manufacturers before removing the wheel or doing any mainte-
nance work and mounting a fork/wheel combination with thru-axle system. There
the systems are described in detail. For additional information on your bicycle and
the web links for the component manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of
the bike brand you have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
WARNING
Improperly mounted wheels may throw you off your bike or result in serious
accidents! Ask your dealer to show you how to handle the thru-axle SCOTT
type you have.
Check the fixing after the first one to two hours of use and subsequently
every 20 hours of use.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To mount the axle only use the tools recommended by the manufacturer. Use
a torque wrench (c) whenever possible. Tighten carefully by approaching the
prescribed maximum torque value in small steps (0.5 Nm increments) and
check in between the proper fit of the component. Never exceed the max-
imum torque value indicated by the manufacturer! A too tight fixing of the
axle can damage the axle or the fork leg.

ADJUSTING THE SCOTT BIKE TO THE RIDER
By choosing a specific type of bicycle you roughly determine the posture you will
be riding in . However, some components of your bike are especially (a) SCOTT
designed so that you can adjust them to your body proportions up to a certain de-
gree. This includes the seat post, the handlebars and the stem as well as the brake
grips or brake levers/shifters.
Contact your dealer, if you are not happy with the seating position of your SCOTT
new SCOTT bike or if you want something changed. You may also ask them during
the strongly recommended first inspection after 100 to 300 km or 5 to 15 hours of
initial use. They will carry out your wishes so that you can be sure your new SCOTT
bike is safe in terms of roadworthiness, ergonomics and operational safety when
you take it home.
WARNING
As all works require know-how, experience, suitable tools and skills, you should
restrict yourself to adjusting your seating position. Contact your SCOTT dealer
for all further settings and modifications. If you want to try it nevertheless, read
the instructions in your detailed original SCOTT operating instructions “Trek-
king and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the
SCOTT web page and your model specific manual.
After any adjustment/assembly work, be sure to make a short functional
check as described in the chapter “Tests before every ride” and do a test ride
on your bike in an area free of traffic.SCOTT
Never ride your bike with the seat post drawn out beyond the limit, maximum,
or stop mark ! The seat post might break or cause severe damage to the (b)
frame. Please make sure the seat post clamp is correctly orientated with the
seat post frame clamping slot in the seat tube of the frame.
The saddle should be set to a height from which you can just reach the pedal
in its lowest position with your heel. The hips should remain horizontal. Check
whether your toes reach to the floor when you are sitting on the saddle. Your
SCOTT dealer will be pleased to help you, if you are not happy with your seat-
ing position. Risk of accident!
CAUTION
Make particularly sure there is enough space between your crotch and the top
tube so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off your bike quickly (c).

SUSPENSION ON SCOTT BIKES
FRONT SUSPENSION
Lots of SCOTT bikes, in particular SCOTT mountain bikes, cross and SCOTT SCOTT
trekking bikes have suspension forks . This feature gives you better control of (d)
your SCOTT bike when riding cross-country or on rough road surfaces and ensures
more ground contact for the tyre. The (shock) loads on you and your SCOTT bike
are noticeably reduced. Suspension forks differ in their types of spring elements
and damping. Suspension forks normally work with air spring elements or with coil
springs.
Damping is usually done by oil. To work perfectly, the fork has to be adjusted to
the weight of the rider, the sitting posture and the intended use . Be sure to have (e)
this adjustment carried out by your dealer at the time of delivery. For more SCOTT
information see the chapter “Front suspension” in your detailed original SCOTT -op
erating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec” and “MTB and MTB-Pedelec”
on the web page and your model specific manual. For additional informaSCOTT -
tion on your bicycle and the web links for the component manufacturers, please
visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have purchased via your Quick Start
Manual.
WARNING
The suspension fork should be set up and adjusted in a way that it does not
reach the end of its travel, i.e. bottom out, unless in extreme cases . A (f)
spring rate which is too soft (air pressure is too low) can usually be heard
or felt as a “clunk” type noise. This noise is caused by the sudden complete
compression of the suspension fork as it reaches bottom out. If the suspen-
sion fork frequently reaches bottom out, it will sustain damage over time, and
so will the frame.
A too strong damping of the suspension fork can result in a sluggish rebound
movement with a suspension fork that will not recover when exposed to a
quick series of impacts. Risk of falling!
Do not turn any bolt on your suspension fork, particularly not with tools, in
the vague hope of adjusting it somehow. You could be loosening the fasten-
ing mechanism, thus provoking an accident. All manufacturers normally mark
adjustment devices with a scale or with “+” (for stronger damping/harder
suspension) and “-” signs.

WARNING
Full suspension frames are designed to absorb shocks. If the rear shock is (d)
too rigid and jammed, the terrain-induced shocks pass directly into the frame
without any damping. This could damage the rear shock itself as well as the
frame. If your rear shock has a lockout mechanism, do not activate the lock-
out function when riding in rough terrain, but only when riding over smooth
terrain (roads, field tracks).
The rear shock should be set up and adjusted in a way that it does not reach
the end of its travel, i.e. bottom out, unless in extreme cases . A spring (e)
rate which is too soft (air pressure is too low) can usually be heard or felt as
a “clunk” type noise. This noise is caused by the sudden complete compres-
sion of the suspension strut as it reaches bottom out. If the suspension strut
frequently reaches bottom out, it will sustain damage over time, and so will
the frame.
A too strong damping of the rear frame can result in a sluggish rebound
movement with a suspension strut that will not recover when exposed to a
quick series of impacts. Risk of falling!
Do not turn any bolt on your suspension fork, particularly not with tools, in
the vague hope of adjusting it somehow. You could be loosening the fasten-
ing mechanism, thus provoking an accident. All manufacturers normally mark
adjustment devices with a scale or with “+” (for stronger damping/harder
suspension) and “-” signs (f).
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Rear shock manufacturers normally include manuals with their deliveries.
Read these carefully before changing any settings or doing any maintenance
work on your rear shock. For additional information on your bicycle and the
web links for the component manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of
the bike brand you have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.

BRAKES
Brakes (a) are used for adjusting one’s speed to the surrounding terrain and traffic.
In an emergency situation, the brakes must bring your bike to a halt as SCOTT
quickly as possible.
In the event of such emergency brakings, the rider’s weight shifts forward abruptly,
thus reducing the load on the rear wheel. The rate of deceleration is primarily lim-
ited by the danger of the rear wheel losing contact with the ground, resulting in an
overturning of the bike and, secondly, by the grip of the tyres on the road SCOTT
(b). Such a problem becomes particularly acute when riding downhill. Therefore, in
case of an emergency braking you should try to shift your weight towards the rear
and the ground as far as possible.
Actuate both brakes simultaneously and bear in mind that, due to the weight (c)
transfer, the front brakes can generate a far better braking effect on a surface with
good grip.
The braking conditions on unpaved surfaces and when it is wet or dirty differ, i.e.
overbraking the front wheel can make the wheel slip away.
Make yourself familiar with the operation before you set off for the first time. Prac-
tice braking on different kinds of surfaces in an area free of traffic.
For more information see the chapter “Brakes” in your detailed original SCOTT
operating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec”
and “Road Bike” on the SCOTT web page and your model specific manual. For
additional information on your bicycle and the web links for the component man-
ufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have purchased via
your Quick Start Manual.
WARNING
The assignment of brake lever to brake calliper can vary, e.g. left lever acts
on front brake. Have a look at the SCOTT handover report in the Quick Start
Manual and check whether the brake lever of the front brake is on the side
you are used to (right or left). If it is not, ask your SCOTT dealer to switch the
brake levers before you set off for the first time.
Be careful while getting used to the brakes. Practice emergency stops in a
place clear of traffic until you are comfortable controlling your SCOTT bike.
This can save you from having accidents in road traffic.

TESTS AFTER AN ACCIDENT
1. Check whether the wheels are still firmly fixed in the drop-outs and whether (a)
the rims are still centred with respect to the frame or fork. Spin the wheels and
observe the gap either between brake pads and rim sides or between frame
and tyre. If you have rim brakes and the width of the gap changes markedly and
you have no way to true the rim where you are, you need to open the brakes
a little with the special device so that the rim can run between the brake pads
without touching them. Please note that in this case the brakes may not act as
powerfully as you are used to.
No matter whether you have rim or disc brakes, have the wheels trued by your
SCOTT dealer immediately after you are back home. For more information see
the chapters “Brakes”, “Using quick-releases and thru axles” and “Wheels and
tyres” in this general manual as well as in your detailed original SCOTT SCOTT
operating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-
Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the web page and your model specific SCOTT
manual.
For additional information on your bicycle and the web links for the component
manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have pur-
chased via your Quick Start Manual.
2. Check that handlebars and stem are neither turned nor bent nor broken and
that they are level and upright. Check whether the stem is firmly fixed in the fork
by trying to turn the handlebars relative to the front wheel. Briefly lean on the
brake levers to make sure the handlebars are firmly fixed in the stem.
Realign the components, if necessary, and gently tighten the bolts to ensure a
reliable clamping of the components . The maximum torque values are print(b) -
ed directly on the components or specified in the manuals of the component
manufacturers.
For more information see the chapters “Adjusting the bike to the rider” SCOTT
and “Headset” in this general manual as well as in your detailed origiSCOTT -
nal SCOTT operating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and
MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the web page and your model specific SCOTT
manual.

manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have pur-
chased via your Quick Start Manual.

3. Check whether the chain still runs on the chainrings and the sprockets. If your
SCOTT bike fell over to the chain side, verify the proper functioning of the gears.
Ask somebody to lift your bike by the saddle and carefully shift through SCOTT
all the gears. Pay particular attention when switching to the small gears, making
sure the rear derailleur does not get too close to the spokes as the chain climbs
onto the larger sprockets (c+d).
If the rear derailleur or the drop-outs/derailleur hanger is bent, the rear derailleur
may collide with the spokes. This in turn can destroy the rear derailleur, the rear
wheel or the frame. Check the function of the front derailleur, as a displaced
front derailleur can throw off the chain, thus interrupting the drive of your
SCOTT bike. Risk of falling!
For more information see the chapter “Gears” in your detailed original SCOTT
operating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-
Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the web page and your model specific SCOTT
manual.
For additional information on your bicycle and the web links for the component
manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have pur-
chased via your Quick Start Manual.
4. Make sure the saddle is not out of alignment using the top tube or the bot(e) -
tom bracket shell as a reference. If necessary, open the clamping, realign the
saddle and retighten the clamping.
For more information see the chapters “Adjusting the bike to the rider” SCOTT
and “Using quick-releases and thru axles” in this SCOTT general manual as well
as in your detailed original operating instructions “Trekking and TrekSCOTT -
king-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the SCOTT web
page and your model specific manual.
For additional information on your bicycle and the web links for the component
manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have pur-
chased via your Quick Start Manual.
5. Let your bike bounce on the ground from a small height . If there is SCOTT (f)
any rattling, see where it comes from. Check the bearings and bolted connec-
tions, if necessary. Tighten them slightly, if necessary.
