CONGRATULATIONS BICYCLE SAFETY

Congratulations on your purchase of a new SCOTT bicycle! We are confident that the

bicycle will exceed your expectations for value, performance, and ride quality. Each

frame set and component has been custom specified and designed to enhance your

riding experience. Whether you are a beginning cyclist, or a seasoned pro, SCOTT

bicycles will provide endless hours of two-wheeled fun.

We strongly encourage you to take the time to read this manual and familiarise

yourself with your new bicycle. If you have purchased a bike for your children, please

take the time to make sure they understand the information contained in this Owner’s

Manual.

IMPORTANT!

If you purchased this bicycle for a minor, it is essential that a responsible adult/

parent thoroughly reviews and reads the Owner’s Manual to the minor.

Please make sure to get your SCOTT bike completely assembled from your authorized

SCOTT dealer.

This is very important for optimum performance and safety and guarantees you a long

lasting joy while riding your bike.

It is important to understand the basics of riding a bicycle, but it is equally important to

exercise common sense when cycling. Cycling is a dynamic sport and requires reacting

to varying situations. Like any sports, cycling involves risk of injury and damage.

By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that risk.

IMPORTANT!

Please use the bike of your choice only for the purpose it was made for.

For instance a road racing bike can not be used to substitute a mountain bike in off

road terrain or a Trekking bike can not be used for downhill racing or road racing.

If you have questions or problems regarding your new SCOTT bicycle, please contact

your Authorised Dealer.

Ride Frequently!

1. Obey all traffic laws,

2. Make sure that the bike size is right for the rider, and that he can reach brake levers

properly.

3. Make sure that the brakes and the bicycle work perfectly well (cf maintenance).

4. Always have a light at night and install reflectors properly.

5. Never ride two people on a bicycle designed for one

(except specially designed and properly installed child carriers.).

6. Never hitch a ride on another vehicle.

7. Do not weave or race in traffic.

8. Watch out for parked cars (door can be opened at any time) and cars pulling into

traffic.

9. Use proper signals when turning.

10.Mount loads securely. Never carry packages that interfere with brakes or vision.

11. Always wear a helmet.

SADDLE HEIGHT SUSPENSIONS ON SCOTT BIKES

GEARS

Comfortable riding not only depends on the position of the saddle, but also on its

height. You can accurately adjust the height of the saddle to the length of your legs

when you proceed as follows:

1. Straddle the saddle. Place the ball of your foot on the pedal nearest to the ground.

Make sure the cranks are vertical.

2. If the heel of your foot points down about 30 degrees, the height of the saddle is

correct.

CAUTION!

Make sure that the limit mark on your seat post is inside the seat tube. If it is not

possible to reach the correct seat height, you have to choose a size above.

Make sure that this mark is inserted into the frame. If you need to change the

inclination of the saddle or the horizontal position, please make sure not to exceed the

max. tightening torque.

Screws with M5 should be tightened with 6 Nm, M8 with 20 Nm.

Please make sure the saddle is connected perfect with the seat post before every ride.

Please note that SCOTT is not responsible for damages caused by neglecting the

tightening torques on the seatclamp fixing screws.

If you have chosen a SCOTT bike equipped with a suspension fork, please refer to the

enclosed instructions of the manufacturer.

For the adjustment of the rear suspension on a fully suspension bike, please refer to

the instructions of the manufacturer of the suspension elements, and to the SCOTT

instructions for full suspension bikes. Both booklets are enclosed with the bike.

Only a well adjusted suspension brings security, comfort and fun.

The front and the rear derailleur have already been adjusted by your SCOTT dealer.

Therefore, no readjustment will be necessary to begin with. However, it is advisable to

check the adjustment of the gear change mechanism regularly.

For more information concerning the shifting system please read the manual of the

shifting components producer attached to your bike.

CAUTION!

To avoid excessive wear and damage of the chain, sprockets and chain wheels, we

advise against the following combinations (see illustrations):

- Largest chain wheel — largest sprocket

- Smallest chain wheel — smallest sprocket

Regularly check that your chain is clean and well-lubricated. Have your dealer check

the chain for wear. Should you nevertheless want to check it yourself, you need to

purchase the Rohloff Chain Caliber 2 from your SCOTT Dealer. This caliber will help

you to work out whether your chain is too slack or not.

Disc Brakes

If your bike is equipped with disc brakes, please refer to the enclosed instructions of

the manufacturer.

Please keep in mind that disc brakes need up to 30-100 brakings to reach maximum

brake power.

Reasons for the reduction of the braking effects

When sudden braking in bad weather conditions, there are risks of skidding. Even

if this situation can be avoided, sudden braking will always happen. In this case, we

recommend to apply the rear brake a little more than the front one.

CAUTION!

Whatever the weather is like, you will never exclusively need the front brake; in order

to prevent from sliding, you should always use both the front and the rear brakes

together.

By wet weather, the braking distance in approximate 60 % longer than by dry weather.

Rim and wear of the rim

If the brake system has brake pads, you have to be aware of the fact that the rim will be

worn through the action of braking.

When riding in wet and muddy terrain for example, the rim is quickly worn out.

Small cracks in the brake surface of the rim or a deformation of the brake surface on

the rim when increasing the tire pressure point out the end of the lifetime of the rim

and the rim should be replaced immediately at an authorized dealer.

SCOTT bikes that are fully equipped (lights, mudguard, carrier) have a wear-out-

indicator.

Please follow the instructions of the rim manufacturer shown in a manual or on the rim

itself.

Tires should always be inflated within the manufacture’s recommendations.

They are rated from 40 to 80 lbs. (check your tires).

Higher pressure for smoother roads or heavy riders.

Lower pressure for more shock absorption on rougher terrains.

Please find following example:

INFLATE TO MIN. 3.5 (50PSI) - MAX. 6.0 BAR (85PSI)

TIRES AND RIMS

STEERER/STEM ASSEMBLY

IMPORTANT/WARNING!

Use a proper Stem and Headset design during installation

We recommend the use of a Syncros Stem and Headset with the installation of a SCOTT/

Syncros Carbon Fork as they are designed to work together. If you choose to use another

manufacture›s product make sure it is compatible with this SCOTT/Syncros Carbon

Fork. SCOTT assumes no responsibility for problems resulting from non SCOTT/Syncros

components.

Never use more than 40mm stack height of spacers between headset and stem.

Do not use more than 5mm stack height of spacer above the stem between the topcap

of the headset and the stem.

Do use minimum 5mm stack height of spacer below the stem between the cap of the

headset and the stem.

1. The fork steerer, especially in case of a carbon steerer, must be assembled with the

originally supplied internal expander wedge

2. NEVER use on carbon fork steerers a standard star flanged nut

3. When cutting the steerer tube use handtools only. Do not use a power saw or a

speed cutter but use a hand saw with a fine blade for metal cutting.

4. Once the steerer tube is cut to the desired length, be sure to remove all burrs at the

top of the steerer tube

Make sure to wear appropriate safety protection, safety goggles, gloves and breathing

mask. Avoid inhaling the carbon dust.

5. Loosen the Expander slightly with an 8mm Allen Key at (A) so the wedge (B) at the

bottom of the Expander moves, (make sure not to over loosen as the Expander will

not tighten when inserted into the steerer).

6. Slide the Expander into the Carbon Steerer until it is flush with the top of the steerer.

7. Tighten the Expander with the 8mm Allen key at (A) to a torque of 8/9NM pressure,

making sure that the Expander stays flush to the top of the steerer and doesn’t lift

slightly.

8. Clamp the stem onto the steering tube with a maximum of 5-7Nm and respect also

the maximum torque indication of the stem supplier. The lower value indicated on

those items has to be accepted as the maximum torque.

9. Make sure the stem has no sharp edges on the contact area for the steerer or the

handlebar. This could result in serious accidents.

If you change your stem to another model or brand please contact your authorized

SCOTT/Syncros dealer

SCOTT will not be liable if the stem is not an originally provided SCOTT or Syncros stem

used on the bike assembly.

In case of further questions please contact your authorized SCOTT/Syncros dealer or the

national distributor of SCOTT/Syncros.

BIKE OWNER’S MANUAL

ENGLISH

IMPORTANT

The full force of the cam action is needed to clamp the wheel securely. Holding

the nut with one hand and turning the lever like a wing nut with the other hand

until everything is as tight as you can get it will not clamp the wheel safely in the

dropouts.

Wheel quick release

IMPORTANT:

Riding with an improperly adjusted wheel quick release can allow the wheel to

wobble or disengage from the bicycle, causing serious injury or death to the rider.

Therefore, it is essential that you:

1. ask your dealer to help you make sure you know how to install and remove your

wheels safely.

2. understand and apply the correct technique for clamping your wheel in place with

a quick release

3. each time, before you ride the bike, check that the wheel is securely clamped.

The wheel quick release uses a cam action to clamp the bike’s wheel in place.

Because of its adjustable nature it is critical that you understand how it works, how

to use it properly and how much force you need to apply to secure the wheel.

Adjusting the quick release mechanism

The wheel hub is clamped in place by the force of the quick release cam pushing

against one dropout and pulling the tension adjusting nut, by way of the skewer,

against the other dropout. The amount of clamping force is controlled by the tension

adjusting nut.

- Turning the tension adjusting nut clockwise while keeping the cam lever from

rotating increases clamping force;

- Turning it counterclockwise while keeping the cam lever from rotating reduces

clamping force.

Less than half a turn of the tension adjusting nut can make the difference between

safe clamping force and unsafe clamping force.

Front Wheel Secondary Retention Devices

Most bicycles have front forks which utilize a secondary wheel retention device to keep

the wheel from disengaging if the quick release is incorrectly adjusted. Secondary

retention devices are not a substitute for correct quick release adjustment.Secondary

retention devices fall into two basic categories:

1. The clip-on type is a part which the manufacturer adds to the front wheel hub or

front fork.

2. The integral type is molded, cast or machined into the outer faces of the front fork

dropouts.

Ask your dealer to explain the particular secondary retention device on your bike.

WARNING!

Do not remove or disable the secondary retention device. As its name implies, it serves

as a back-up for a critical adjustment. If the quick release is not adjusted correctly, the

secondary retention device can reduce the risk of the wheel disengaging from the fork.

Removing or disabling the secondary retention device may also void the warranty.

Secondary retention devices are not a substitute for correct quick release adjustment.

Failure to properly adjust the quick release mechanism can cause the wheel to wobble

or disengage, which could cause you to loose control and fall, resulting in serious injury

or death.

Removing a Quick Release Wheel

1. If your bike has rim brakes, disengage the brake’s quick-release mechanism to

open the clearance between the tire and the brake pads.

2. Move the wheel’s quick-release lever from the locked or CLOSED position to the

OPEN position.

3. If your front fork does not have a secondary retention device go to step (5).

4. If your front fork has a clip-on type secondary retention device, disengage it and

go to step (5). If your front fork has an integral secondary retention device, loosen

the

tension adjusting nut enough to allow removing the wheel; then go to the next step.

5. Raise the front wheel a few inches off the ground and tap the top of the wheel

with the palm of your hand to knock the wheel out of the front fork.

Fix a flat tire

Bike tires are fitted with tubes.

Remove the wheel from the bike and deflate it. Unhook the tire from one side of the

rim, using tire tools, not screwdrivers.

Remove the tube from the tire casing, repair or replace it. Install the new or repaired

tire. Fill the tube lightly with air in order to let it take its shape. Put the valve stem

through the hole, and fit the inside tire. Put the tire bead in the rim starting at the valve

and finishing at the opposite end, working on both sides. Push the valve stem into the

tire and pull it back down to seat. Make sure the tube is not pinched under the tire

bead. Inflate with hand or foot-pump.

Close the brake’s quick release system carefully.

Use of a bicycle hauler

SCOTT bikes are not intended for the use of haulers (load-haulers, kids-haulers, Trailer

bikes).

Please note that SCOTT will not take any warranty or responsibility when using a

hauler.

There are too many different haulers and hauler fixation systems on the market to give

a detailed table of systems that might fit without technical problems or endangering

the passengers.

Use of SCOTT bikes in public traffic

Please note and respect the national laws concerning the use of equipped and non-

equipped bikes in public traffic.

This concerns e.g. reflectors and light systems.

WARRANTYWARRANTY

What is Covered? This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship at the time of

transfer of risks in frames, swingarms and forks (provided it is a fork of SCOTT) on SCOTT

branded bikes sold completely assembled by SCOTT or an authorized SCOTT dealer

(“Product”).

How Long Does Coverage Last? This voluntary manufacturer’s warranty is limited to five years

for frames and swingarms, respectively two years for forks, from the date of purchase of the

Product and is limited to the first purchaser of the Product. Transfer of the Product from the

first purchaser to another person terminates this limited warranty.

The limited warranty of five years for the frames and swingarms shall only be granted in case

once a year a maintenance service has been effected according to maintenance requirements

as set forth in the manual. The effected annual maintenance service shall be confirmed by

stamp and signature. In case such an annual maintenance service has not been effected the

warranty of five years for the frame shall be reduced to three years. Costs for maintenance and

service have to be borne by the owner of the Product.

On Gambler, Voltage Fr and Volt-X the warranty period is limited to two years.

Repaired or replaced Products are covered for the remainder of the original warranty period

and subject to the conditions outlined in the original warranty, to the extent permitted by law.

Hereby SCOTT grants a worldwide voluntarily manufacturer’s warranty. To the extent

permitted by law and unless a shorter duration is stipulated by law, any warranties implied by

law are limited in duration to maximum five, respectively two years, from the date of purchase

of the Product and are limited to the first purchaser of the Product.

What Will SCOTT Do? SCOTT will replace or repair any defective Product, or will refund

your purchase price (as evidenced by your tendered receipt of purchase of the Product), at

SCOTT’s option. You must pay charges in connection with replacement of any non-defective

parts. In such a case, you will be alerted to the advisability of replacing non-defective parts, so

you can pre-authorize the costs.

What Does this Limited Warranty Not Cover? This limited warranty does not cover defects

which did not exist before the transfer of risks. This limited warranty does not cover Products

used in rental operations. This limited warranty does not cover purchases of not completely

assembled bikes. This limited warranty does not cover any defect caused by “wear and

tear” (a complete list of all parts of “wear and tear” can be found in the manual), accident,

neglect, improper handling, abuse, misuse, an act of God, improper assembly, non-compliance

with recommended maintenance and care procedures, improper or incorrectly performed

maintenance or repairs performed by someone other than an authorized SCOTT dealer, use

of parts or devices not consistent with the Product, and alteration of the Product. All Products

come with a manual; please carefully follow the instructions located there or affixed elsewhere

to the Product. To the extent permitted by law, consequential and incidental damages are not

recoverable under this limited warranty.

How Do You Make a Claim Under this Limited Warranty? To make a claim under this limited

warranty, you must notify SCOTT of the claimed defect within the warranty period and timely

return the Product to SCOTT at your expense for inspection. Please contact your authorized

SCOTT dealer, call SCOTT’s customer service or the national SCOTT distributor (dealer locator:

www.scott-sports.com). All returned Products must be accompanied by proof of purchase

(receipt) from an authorized SCOTT dealer or this limited warranty will not apply. In case of

replacement or refund, returned Product becomes the property of SCOTT.

A protocol for the handing over of the Product (which you will find at the end of the manual)

will remain in copy at the SCOTT dealer after acceptance and signature of the consumer. It is

obligatory to show this protocol of handing over together with the defective part in case of

a warranty claim given that it provides evidence of purchase or this limited warranty will not

apply.

How Do State Laws Affect Your Rights Under This Limited Warranty? This limited warranty

gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to

state.

Recommendation

We strongly recommend that you use only authorized SCOTT dealers for yearly maintenance

services and for repairs, as improper or incorrectly performed maintenance or repairs voids this

limited warranty. Costs for maintenance service have to be borne by the consumer.

GENERAL

BIKE OWNER’S MANUAL

ENGLISH

Tires

Due to their use tires are subject to wear and tear. This depends on the use of the bike

and is influenced by the riding style.

Aggressive braking will reduce the lifetime of the tire dramatically.

In addition check the air pressure regularly and inflate the tire according to the

pressure recommended by the producer of the tire which is imprinted on the sidewall

of the tire.

Light Systems and reflectors

A well functioning light system is of a very high importance for your riding safety

in public traffic. Before every ride check front and tail light and the condition of the

reflectors. Light bulbs are subject of wear and tear and we recommend to take some

replacements with you in case of failure.

Handlebar grips

Due to their use handlebar grips are subject to wear and tear, and should be replaced

immediately in case they do not fit anymore to the handlebar or get loosen.

Handlebar, stem and seat post

Handlebar, stem and seat post are under high dynamic forces while riding.

Please check these parts regularly for visible cracks or damages and replace them if

necessary.

In addition we recommend a periodical replacement (every two years) of these parts

when riding often and hard.

PARTS OF WEAR AND TEAR

PARTS OF WEAR AND TEAR ARE EXCLUDED FROM ANY WARRANTY.

Chain

Due to its use the chain is subject to wear and tear. This depends on maintenance and

conditions of use of the bike (amount of kilometers, rain, dirt, salt, etc.).

Cleaning and greasing will help to prolong its life but you will have to replace the chain

when reaching the wear limit.

Sprockets, chainrings and pulleys

Due to its use sprockets, chainrings and pulleys are subject to wear and tear.

This depends on maintenance and conditions of use of the bike (amount of kilometers,

rain, dirt, salt, etc.). Cleaning and greasing will help to prolong its life but you will have

to replace the chain when reaching the wear limit.

Shifting-and brake cables

All cables must be surveyed regularly and changed if necessary. This can happen

especially when the bike is often standing outside in weather.

Brakepads

All brake pads, no matter if rim-brake, disc-brake or internal brake are subject to wear

and tear due to their use.

This depends on maintenance and conditions of use of the bike (amount of kilometers,

rain, dirt, salt, etc.). Check your brake pads regularly and replace them if necessary.

Rims

When using a rim brake not only the brake pads are subject to wear and tear. Also the

rim.

Because of this please check regularly the rims e.g. when inflating the tires.

In case of small cracks or deformation of the brake surface of the rim while inflating

the tires replace the rim immediately.

Rims with wear-out indicators enable the bike user to check easily the condition of the

rim. Please have a look concerning this issue on the sticker on the rim.
