Using the 190mm rear shock of Manitou/Fox (eye to eye
190mm, Travel 51mm) will result in following travel
options:
150mm und170mm
You can adjust the travel on the shock mount of thefront
triangle.
You will get 150mm in the upper mounting position and
170mm in the lower position.
Some bikes of the Nitrous series are equipped with a
telescope seatpost which offers a wider adjustment
range of the seatheight.
In case you want to upgrade your Nitrous with the
telescope seatpost you can order it at your local Scott
dealer with article number 15.1.844.405.0.349.

ADJUSTABLE REAR TRAVEL
NITROUS IMPORTANT
Note that you have to mount the Manitou/Fox Rear
Shock always with the container (Piggy Pack) as shown
underneath in the position “front top”.
Mounting the rear shock in a different position can lead
to severe damages at the frame, the swingarm and the
rear shock.

Coil-Over-Shock:
For the adjustment of the negative travel (SAG) of
Nitrous it is really important to check first if the coil
fits to the weight of the rider.
Recommended coil:
Print on coil Weight of Rider
350 x 2.0 55 - 65 kg
450 x 2.0 65 - 75 kg
550 x 2.0 75 - 85 kg
650 x 2.0 85 - 95 kg
750 x 2.0 95 - xx kg
Inlinewewill have sizeSwithcoil 450 x 2.0 for 65-
75kgrider weight, sizeMwith coil 550x2.0 for 75-
85kgand size L with coil650x2.0 for 85-95 kg rider
weight.
If the recommended coil for the weight of the rider
is mounted on the bike, you can start to adjust the
SAG.
With an eye-to eye distance of 190mm and a shock
travel of 51mm we recommend a SAG between
25-30% of the shock travel which means 13-16mm.
When sitting on the bike there should be an eye-to-
eye distance of 177-174mm.
An easy way to control the SAG is to use the SAG-
Boy on the back of this manual.
The SAG-Boy is with middle length of 175.5mm on
the back of the manual.
We recommend a minimum preload of the coil of
2-3turnsof the preload cup and amaximumpreload
of 7-8 turns.
In case you need more or less preload please use a
softer or harder coil.
For further information concerning the rear shock
please read the attached manual of the rear shock
producer.
SET–UP NITROUS
IMPORTANT!
The seatpost has to be brought
into the seattube at a minimum of 100mm
and must not stick out more than 25mm
at the bottom end.

If you want to use a different rear shock model than the
one originally on the bike, please make sure that the
shock will not damage the frame.
Please follow the instruction below:
Please make sure that the rear shock or its accessory
parts do not touch the frame when mounting or sus-
pending.
For doing so remove the coil, install the shock and com-
press the shock completely.
If the shock touches the frame while doing so do not use
this shock in order to avoid damage to frame, swingarm
or shock.
Please check this issue on all travel adjustment
options.
The basic set up of air rear shock is easy and can be
done within few minutes.
You only need:
-a shock pump with a scale up to 20 bars/300 psi
-the SAG-Boy on the back of this manual
1. Sit on the bike, put your feet on the pedal
2. With an eye-to eye distance of 190mm and a shock
travel of 51mm we recommend a SAG between 25-
30% of the shock travel which means 13-16mm.
3. Check if the shock bolts correspond to the SAG-Boy.
If you don’t have the SAG-Boy on hand, the differen-
ce between the two bolts should be 177-174mm.

7The pivot and bearings on SCOTT Nitrous are extremely
easy to maintain.
An external treatment with a grease spray after every
bike wash is all you have to do. We do not recommend
heavy grease sprays since these will leave a film on the
parts which is difficult to remove. We recommend the
same for the chain also.
If you have to change the bearings you can order them
included in a service kit at your local SCOTT dealer with
parts number 15.1.860.402.0.000 or buy them with inter-
national parts number 61803 2RS 17x26x5 in a hardware
store.
In case of a change of the bearings or of the rear swin-
garm you should contact your local SCOTT dealer there-
foreyouneedspecial tools for disassembly and assembly.
For the set up of the front fork please use the fork speci-
fic manual attached to the bike.
We recommend using front forks with a travel between
130-180mm,as this will not influence too much the geo-
metry and handling of the bike.
The frame also can be used with a double bridge crown
(triple-clamp-design).
Please ask your Scott dealer to make sure that the fork
of your choice will not damage the frame.
The frame of Nitrous is originally equipped with a head
tube with a diameter to fit 1.52 fork steerer tubes.
Some complete bikes are equipped with a reducer-
headset to use forks with a steerer diameter of 1 1/8“.
In case you want to use a fork with 1.5” standard stee-
rer you have to replace the original headset.

PIVOT MAINTENANCE
OWNER MANUAL 2005

After a dismantlement of the rear shock, the front
fixing bolt on the mainframe of the rear shock
should be tightened with a tightening torque of
14Nm, the rear shock fixing bolt on the swingarm
with 10Nm.
If this is not done correctly the rear shock can be
damaged.
IMPORTANT
4. Is the difference in between the two bolts more than
177mm the pressure inside the positive chamber is
too high Is the difference less than 174mm the pres-
sure inside the positive chamber is too low. Change
the pressure using the shock pump step by step until
you reach the optimum SAG.
All air shocks should be adjusted according to the
manual of the rear shock producer taking account of the
SAG mentioned above.

The SCOTT Fullsuspension Bikes were made using the
most innovative production and quality methods.
Nevertheless such an outstanding product needs to be
checked up once a year by a SCOTT expert with the help
of the enclosed maintenance schedule.
Doing so you will have always maximum performance
and security while riding.
A fullfilled maintenance schedule will allow you to dou-
ble your warranty on the frame and swingarm on your
SCOTT Fullsuspension Bike for two years from 2 up to
4 years, if you have brought your bike to an annual
maintenance at your SCOTT.
Dealer and this is documented in the enclosed schedule.
In opposition to other brands SCOTT gives you warranty
although you are taking part in races or long distance races.
We can do this for the parts of SCOTT, on components
(e.g. suspension fork, shifting components) you have the
warranty of the producers or the warranty legislation of
the different countries.
Parts defective through wear and tear are excluded from
this warranty. You will find a detailed table with all
parts excluded through wear and tear in the standard
manual f Scott which is also attached to this bike.
Once the check up is made, it is reported in the mainte-
nance schedule, which will then enable you to claim
your warranty extension.
The owner of the bike is responsible for the costs of
the service.
