•GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL DATA GENIUS LT / PLUS •GENIUS LT CONCEPT
The new Genius LT is the result of 2 years of research and development for one of the
lightest all-mountain bike frame set available on the market, hitting the scale at below
2550grams (5.60lbs) including the frame, FOX Nude/FOX Float CTD shock and the unique
TWINLOC XL remote control.
SCOTT’s focus was not only on lightweight but also on a durable and stiff frame with an
innovative suspension technology in combination with an optimized kinematics of the rear
swingarm.
The combination of an optimized kinematics with an extraordinary suspension technology
closes the gap between very light dual suspension trail bikes (e.g. SCOTT Genius) and the
new generation of freeride bikes (e.g. SCOTT Voltage FR).
Genius LT was designed for riders looking for a dual suspended all mountain and trail bike
offering a maximum rear wheel travel of 170mm.
SCOTT does not see frame and rear shock as single components which are assembled
together on a bike, but as a concept with all these components working together and
offering an outrageous function by matching perfectly.
The Genius LT Concept is based on a multi-pivot technology.
The damping performance was improved in comparison to the already famous “old” Genius
LT, and with reworking also the kinematics we were able to reach a better progression in the
end of the stroke/travel of the swingarm.
The SCOTT system, using the FOX Nude shock, will allow you to reduce by remote control
the rear wheel travel from 170 mm to 136mm including a more progressive spring rate but
still offering a supple break away.
Some models of Genius LT use also the FOX CTD shock which offers instead of the Traction
Mode a Platform (Ride Mode) in between Climb Mode and Descent Mode.
No power will be lost and an optimum power transfer is guaranteed as the swingarm, in
contrary to locked or automatic-locking systems, can follow the trail surface and will offer
perfect traction and higher speed while standing on the pedals.

ENGLISHENGLISH
•TC SHOCK TECHNOLOGY/TWINLOC LEVERS
The heart of the TC-System is the FOX Nude Shock made by FOX, offering three functions
which make this system possible.
The TWINLOC XL remote control lever is the evolution of the already outstanding TRACLOC
system of SCOTT.
While TRACLOC allowed only the change on the SCOTT TC rear shocks between the
SCOTT patented Lock-out, traction and full-mode on the fly from the handlebar, the
TWINLOC allows also the remote control of the front fork to shift between lock-out and
open mode at the same time when you change the modes on the SCOTT rear shox.
In combination with FOX 34 CTD forks it is also possible to have a platform mode on
the fork.
The 3 modes of CTCD in combination with FOX Nude are:
-Climb Mode : lock-out rear, lock-out front
-Traction Mode: traction mode rear (incl. Geometry change and reduced travel), platform
mode front
-Descent Mode: full travel rear (Descent), full travel front
The 3 modes of CTD in combination with the FOX CTD shock are:
-Climb Mode : lock-out rear, lock-out front
-Ride Mode: platform (Ride) mode rear, platform mode front
-Descent Mode: full travel rear (Descent), full travel front
Therefore SCOTT offers 2 different TWINLOC levers with following fork/rear shock
combinations:
-FOX Nude with different rolls for FOX CTD fork and RockShox DNA 3 fork
(SCOTTArticle number: 230097)
-FOX CTD with different rolls for FOX CTD fork and RockShox DNA 3 fork (SCOTTArticle
number: 230098)
Please note that the FOX CTD rear shock does not offer a traction mode, but a platform
mode. In contrary to FOX Nude the air-chamber volume of the positive chamber remains the
same throughout the different modes
IMPORTANT!
You can only assemble the TWINLOC remote lever in “left side upward position” on the
handlebar.
You have 3 positions of the TWINLOC remote lever.
1. LOCK OUT MODE:
the shock is locked; climbing on asphalt roads is now possible without any power loss.
Simultaneous a blow-off-system prevents the shock being damaged in case the rider did
not open the system while crossing obstacles.
2. TRACTION/RIDE MODE:
For Traction: by reducing the internal chamber volume inside the shock the travel of the
shock will be reduced to around 80% (approx. 136mm) the characteristic of the air spring
gets harder, the SAG is shorter and the geometry steeper. This results in climbing without
“bobbing” and offers still optimum traction of the rear wheel.
For Ride: by adding a platform on the compression damping system the shock will not
bounce while standing on the pedals
3. DESCENT MODE:
full travel of 170mm
You will find the following positions on the remote lever:
For the assembly of the remote control of the front fork lock-out 2 different cable rolls which
are changeable are existing.
The different roll for the pull of the fork remote cable can be changed within few minutes to
adapt the lever to your fork model/brand.
You will see on the downside of the roll the indication of the fork brand or the fork model.

SCOTT offers 2 different TWINLOC levers with following fork/rear shock combinations:
-FOX Nude with different rolls for FOX CTD fork and RockShox DNA 3 fork
(SCOTTArticle number: 230097)
-FOX CTD with different rolls for FOX CTD fork and RockShox DNA 3 fork (SCOTTArticle
number: 230098)
Please kindly note that the cable roll of a RockShox DNA3 or FOX CTD fork-lever is not
interchangeable with the regular rolls of 2 step forks. You need to use another lever!
For more details please contact your authorized SCOTT dealer.
To change the rolls to match another fork brand pls follow the drawings below:
ROLL FORK MOUNTING
ROLL FORK UNMOUNTING
•ASSEMBLY OF THE REMOTE CABLE
IMPORTANT!
Please make sure the lockout of SRAM/RockShox or FOX fork is activated after transport
correctly. Therefore please compress fork 5-10 times before following the manual on remote
cable installation and adjustment.
The lever should show on the downside of the cable roll the brand name of the fork you are
going to use. Please do not try to use a RockShox roll with a FOX fork or vice versa.
1. To assemble the cable please bring the
lever into the Descent Mode, push the
cable into the lever-eyelet as shown
on drawing below, push it through the
pre-cut cable housing and fix it at the
assembly unit on top of the right side of
the fork crown.
2. Fix the cable with the 2mm allen screw on the barrel adjuster
on the fork crown with a tightening torque of 0.9Nm/8 lb/in,
cut the cable and secure it with a cable end-cap. Please refer
for this action also to the manual of SRAM/RockShox or FOX
attached to the bike.
TIP:
To check for accurate cable tension, please try to move the plastic end cap of the cable
housing at the barrel adjuster on the remote lever. There should be “no-play” between cap
and barrel adjuster. In case of “play” please turn the barrel adjuster clockwise until “no-play”.

ENGLISHENGLISH
3. tighten the cable and fix the cablefixing screw
(S7) by turning it clockwise with a 2mm allen
key and a max. tightening torque of 1.6Nm.
4. Check that the handlebar lever
is in the traction position. Refer
to the following diagrams.
5. cut the cable approx. 20mm away from the
remote wheel. Fix it by squeezing it with pliers.
6. push a cable end-cap on the cable until it
touches the end of the cable. Fix it by squeezing
it with pliers.
•BASIC SET-UP OF THE TWINLOC REMOTE CONTROL OF FOX
CTD SHOCK
The assembly of the remote cable and the setup of the FOX CTD rear shock is very similar to
the abovementioned assembly and setup of the FOX Nude.
For more details on the FOX CTD please follow the details shown in the manuals of FOX
attached to this bike.
•RECOMMENDED TOOLS FOR THE SHOCK SET-UP
For the set-up of the shock we recommend to use a shock pump with a scale up to 20
bars/300 psi with a special air valve connector preventing from air getting away while
removing the pump from the shock valve, this will result in an exact air pressure.
Please note that air will flow into the hose and indicator when counterchecking the air
pressure, so you have to set up again the recommended pressure after this action.
Make sure to balance at least this air loss when you make a check of the air pressure of the
shock. Please also note that the indicators of shock pumps have a tolerance of max. 10%.

ENGLISHENGLISH
•SET-UP GENIUS LT WITH FOX NUDE OR FOX CTD SHOCK
The Set-Up of the FOX Nude or FOX CTD Shock can be easy done within a few minutes.
IMPORTANT!
For all adjustments of the air spring the remote lever has to be in position “alltravel”
To adjust the air pressure of the air chamber of the FOX Nude or FOX CTD Shock please
refer to the following instruction:
1. Remove the valve cap of the valve (S5) located on the shock housing (S3).
2. Mount the shock pump with its adaptor on the valve
3. Please take into account that it takes some air pressure from inside the shock to drive the
indicator on the pump. Make sure to balance at least this air loss when you make a check
of the air pressure of the shock. Pls also note that the indicators of shock pumps have a
tolerance of max. 10%
4. Please use the FOX iRD App available at the iTunes App store with following link:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fox-intelligent-ride-dynamics/id549035102?mt=8&ign-
mpt=uo%3D4)
5. After downloading the app on your mobile gear please follow the steps shown in the app
and inflate the shock according to the air pressure indicated.
6. When you reached the needed pressure remove the pump and put the valve cap on
the valve.
•SAG
The SAG should be 18mm on the shock piston.
To check the adjustment, please follow as shown below:
1. sit on the bike, put your feet on the pedal
2. put your feet back on the ground and stand over the bike without bouncing the bike
during this action
3. check if the o-ring (S9) on the shock piston (S8) has a distance of 18mm to the main dust
wiper/seal between shock housing and piston.
-if the distance between the o-ring and the main dust wiper/seal is 18mm, the air pressure
is matching to your weight
-if the distance between the o-ring and the main dust wiper/seal is less than 18mm, the
air pressure of the air chamber is too high and should be carefully reduced by using the
bleed knob of the shock pump until the distance is 18mm.
-if the distance between the main dust wiper/seal is bigger than 18mm the air pressure
of the air chamber is too low and should be increased by using the shock pump until the
distance is 18mm.

ENGLISHENGLISH
IMPORTANT!
After a dismantlement of the rear shock, both fixing bolts should be tightened with a
tightening torque of 10Nm/88in-lbs.
If this is not done correctly the rear shock can be damaged.
•SET-UP OF OTHER SHOCK MODELS
SCOTT strongly recommends using only the FOX Nude (FOX CTD shock) with the
Genius LT bike, as we designed both parts for a perfect matching combination with a linear
suspension rate.
Also on those shock models the SAG should be 18mm.
Other Shock Models on Genius LT
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 in any position hit the frame and cause a damage to
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 suspending.
-For doing so release the air/remove the coil, install the shock and compress 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.
•SET-UP OF REBOUND FOX NUDE OR FOX CTD SHOCK
“Rebound” describes the speed the shock comes back to its original length after absorbing
an obstacle.
By using the rebound adjuster knob (S4) you can adjust the rebound step by step.
Please refer to the following instruction:
Ride your bike off a pavement (remain in the saddle) and check how many times it bounces.
-If it bounces 1-2 times, the set up is good.
-If it bounces more than 3 times the rebound is too fast. Turn the knob 1-2 “clicks”
clockwise
-If it does not bounce the rebound is too slow. Turn the knob 1-2 “clicks” counter
clockwise.
IMPORTANT!
Note that you have to mount the FOX
Nude Shock always as shown below.
Mounting the rear shock in a different
position can cause severe damage to
the frame, the linkage levers and the
rear shock.
Same for the FOX CTD on some of the
Genius LT models.

For 185mm rotor diameter you will need 2 red anodized spacers that can be ordered via the
SCOTT distribution with:
219568 Brake Mount Adapt.Spacers 4mm f/185mm
For the 200mm rotors please use for: SRAM/Avid: “+20mm” adapter
Shimano: F180PP2
•FRONT FORK SET-UP/CHANGE OF FRONT FORK
For the set up of the front fork please use the fork specific manual attached to the bike.
We recommend using front forks with a travel of 170mm (700) and 160mm (Plus) as this will
not influence the geometry and alter handling of the bike.
For details on the technical length of the recommended forks please refer to the Tech Info
Chart before mentioned.
•PIVOT MAINTENANCE
The pivot and bearings on SCOTT Genius LT 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 or buy them with international parts number as shown above in the specs list
in a hardware store.
In case of a change of the bearings or of the rear swingarm you should contact your local
SCOTT dealer as you need special tools for disassembly and assembly.
