GENERAL MANUAL | OWNER’S MANUAL 2021
•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.
It 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 SCOTT bike for your child, make sure he/she understands
the information contained in this manual and can handle the new SCOTT bike
accordingly.
In purchasing this SCOTT bike you have chosen a product of high quality. Each
component of your new SCOTT bike has been designed, manufactured and as-
sembled with great care and expertise. Your SCOTT dealer gave the bike its final
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 SCOTT bike, you should read at least the
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 SCOTT operating instructions “Trekking and Trek-
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 2021
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 SCOTT bike and never ride without hav-
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 SCOTT kids’ bike, observe the chapter “SCOTT kids’ bikes“ in
your detailed SCOTT owner’s manual before your child sets off on it for the first
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
60cm.
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 SCOTT bike at shorter inter-
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, SCOTT condition 3 bikes are generally not intend-
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 operating instructions “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” on the SCOTT web
page.
You find details as to the maximum permissible overall weight on the sticker on
the frame of your SCOTT bike and in the chapter “Notes on the maximum per-
missible overall weight”. Under certain circumstances the permissible maximum
weight can be further limited by the component manufacturers’ recommendations
for use.

WARNING
SCOTT condition 3 bikes (a) are not suitable for blocked terrain, high and
long jumps (b), slides, stair riding, stoppies, wheelies, tricks etc.!
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 and child seats are not permitted on SCOTT condition 3 bikes. Note
that SCOTT will not assume liability or provide guarantee for the use of trail-
ers, child seats and luggage carriers.
NOTICE
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
You find more information on your SCOTT bike and the weblinks of the com-
ponent manufacturers via your Quick Start Manual on the respective pages in
the manual of the bicycle brand you have purchased.
Condition 4 SCOTT Bikes
In general, SCOTT condition 4 bikes (c-e) are full-suspension mountain and trail
bikes with medium suspension travel. They are used, for example, for sports and
competition rides on trails of very challenging technical demands.
SCOTT condition 4 bikes are designed for use on rough paths, uneven, unpaved
roads as well as in difficult, rough and partly blocked terrain and on undeveloped
paths. Their use requires technical riding skills. Jumps/drops may be performed up
to a height of 120cm.
In addition, they are intended for downhill rides on unpaved paths at speeds of less
than 40kmh (24.8mph). But especially inexperienced riders doing jumps may land
inappropriately, thus increasing significantly the forces acting on them which may
result in damage and injuries. SCOTT recommends that you train your skills in a
riding technique course.
If necessary, ask your SCOTT dealer to inspect your SCOTT bike at shorter intervals
than according to the SCOTT service and maintenance schedule.

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 SCOTT condition 5 bikes, you have to take ap-
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 be performed up to a height of 120cm.
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 condition 5 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, SCOTT condition 5 bikes are generally not intend-
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 operating instructions “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” on
the SCOTT web page.
You find details as to the maximum permissible overall weight on the sticker on
the frame of your SCOTT bike and in the chapter “Notes on the maximum per-
missible overall weight”. Under certain circumstances the permissible maximum
weight can be further limited by the component manufacturers’ recommendations
for use.
