SCALE CARBON CONCEPT GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL DATA SCALE CARBON
GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL DATA SCALE CARBON
Scale is the result of research and development based on the feedback from the
SCOTT-ODLO Racing Team searching for one of the lightest cross country racing
frames in the market.
SCOTT’s focus was not only on creating a lightweight frame, but one that was also a
stiff and easy to handle racing frame.

BB STANDARDS/FD MOUNTING DETAILS
Scale Carbon is available for PressFit 92 Cartridges (PF92).
PF BB 92 has a housing width of 92mm (Scale 700) or 89.5mm plus a 2.5mm
additional washer (Scale 900) with an inner diameter for the cartridges of 41mm.
Scale 700 (27.05”) FD
The front derailleur (FD) fixation for
Scale 700 is a direct mount system.
It is made for Shimano E-Type
derailleurs or SRAM S3 assembly
In addition it has an integrated
chainguide assembled on this
fixation plate.
Scale 900 (29”) FD
The Front Derailleur (FD) clamp is with
an inner diameter of 34.9mm, the cable
routing on the frame is for “down route/
pull - down swing” models.
IMPORTANT!
Please note that the maximum tightening torque on the FD clamp is 5Nm/44in/lbs.
A higher tightening torque might cause damage to the FD camp and/or frame
tube! Please also refer to the related manuals of the manufacturer of the FD.
CHAINGUIDE
On some Scale 900 (29”) Carbon models you will find a chainguide system to
support the shifting performance when using 2 chainring cranksets.
3 different mounting plates are available to match the different sizes of the outer
chainrings (39/42/44T).
Please note the max. tightening torque of 5Nm/44 in/lbs on the mounting screw of
the plate.
HEADSET OPTIONS
Scale Carbon features a tapered headset and fork steerer system to match with
semi-integrated headsets of the “50-61”mm range.
The steerers of those forks are
tapered from 1.5” to 1 1/8”.
This bigger diameter of the fork
steerer as well as on the frame
headtube helps to increase the
stiffness and handling of the bike.

BB CABLE GUIDE/CABLE ROUTING
Scale Carbon features also an internal cable routing for front and rear derailleur.
A special BB Cable Guide was developed for Scale Carbon which is available as a
spare part at the SCOTT distribution with article number
for Scale 700
235285 Cableguide BB Scale Carbon 700 2014
and for Scale 900
219579 Cableguide BB Scale Carbon
Please note that those 2 cableguides are not interchangeable between the
frame sizes.
Ritchey WCS Carbon Zero Tapered PF 50-61mm 18mm UD PRD 13636
Ritchey PRO Tapered PF 50-61mm 12.9mm PRD 13640
It is also possible to use forks with a standard 1 1/8” steerer tube when using a
reducer headset such as e.g.
Ritchey WCS Carbon Zero Tapered PF 50-61mm 18mm UD for 1 1/18" fork PRD 14860
Please note that the outer housing of the FD and RD cables will stop at the cable
stop/port on the front end of the down tube.
If you want to replace the cables, please follow these steps:
1. Remove the clip-in BB Guide in the BB housing
2. Push the inner cables from the front downward inside the downtube to the BB
housing.
3. Pull them out of the related holes (RD on right side, FD on left side) on the BB
housing.
4. Push them through the related holes on the BB Guide and clip the BB Guide into
the BB housing
5. Follow the standard set up and assembly instructions of the shifting system
manufacturer for final adjustment of the shifting system

REPLACEABLE REAR DERAILLEUR HANGER
SEATTUBE CLAMP
Scale Carbon uses the same replaceable rear derailleur hanger system (called IDS
SL2) as SCOTT Spark, Genius and Geniu s LT.
Depending on the different models you’ll find following options:
1. 142mm axle with RWS 142/12
This is available via the SCOTT distribution with:
219574 complete set of RWS 142/12
219577 right side replaceable RD hanger
2. 135mm axle with RWS 135/5
This is available via the SCOTT distribution with:
219572 complete set of RWS 135/5
219575 right side replaceable RD hanger
If you want to use another RWS standard SCOTT can also offer the following as
after-market parts for specific wheelsets via the SCOTT distribution:
219574 RWS 135/12 parts set
219576 right side replaceable RD hanger
Please make sure to only use a seatclamp with an inner diameter of 34.9mm (Scale
700) or 38.2mm (Scale 900) and please note the maximum tightening torque on the
fixing bolt of 5Nm/44 in/lbs
REAR DISC BRAKE MOUNT
FRONT FORK SET-UP/CHANGE OF FRONT FORK
The rear disc brake on Scale Carbon
is Postmount (PM) Standard on the
left chainstay and optimized for
160mm/6” rotors, so the calliper
can be mounted directly without
adapters on the Postmount fixation.
Please note Scale Carbon is
designed for disc rotors between
160mm/6” and 185mm/7” (adapter
needed from manufacturer of the
brake) only.
For the set up of the front fork please use the fork specific manual attached to
the bike.
We recommend using front forks with distance of
487mm/19.2” for Scale 700 and
506mm/19.9” for Scale 900
between mid of axle to top of crown, as this will not influence the geometry and alter
handling of the bike.

ENGLISH ENGLISH
SCOTT bikes are made using the most innovative production and quality methods. They
are equipped with best components of well known parts suppliers.
Doing so SCOTT warrants its frames and swingarms for five years (subject to compliance
with maintenance ranges, see below) and SCOTT forks (provided it is a fork of SCOTT) for
two years for defects in material and/or workmanship in case of purchase of completely
assembled bikes.
This warranty of 5 years for the frames shall only be granted in case once a year a
maintenance service has been effected according to maintenance requirements as set
forth in this manual by an authorized SCOTT dealer.
The authorized SCOTT dealer shall confirm the effected annual maintenance service by
stamp and signature.
In case such an annual maintenance service has not been effected the warranty of 5 years
for the frame shall be reduced to 3 years.
Costs for maintenance and service have to be born by the owner of the SCOTT bike.
On Gambler, Voltage Fr and Volt-X the warranty period is limited to 2 years.
The warranty period starts at the day of purchase. This warranty is limited to the first
buyer, what means the first person who uses the bike and only with the use it was made
for. Furthermore, this warranty is limited to purchases via authorized SCOTT dealers
The warranty is solely granted in case of purchase of a completely assembled bike to the
explicit exclusion of purchases of not completely assembled bikes.
In case of a warranty claim the decision to repair or to replace the defective part is up to
SCOTT. Non defective parts will only be replaced at the guarantee’s own expense.
Fair wear and tear is not covered by the warranty.
A complete list of all parts of wear and tear can be found in the next chapter of this
manual.
In addition, you will find at the end of this manual a protocol for the handing over of the
bike which 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. Otherwise no
warranty is granted.
In principle, this warranty is granted worldwide. Claims must be made through an
authorized dealer, for information regarding the nearest dealer, write or call this company
or the national SCOTT distributor.
Normal wear, accident, neglect, abuse, improper assembly, improper maintenance by
other than an authorized dealer or use of parts or devices not consistent with the use
originally intended for the bicycle as sold are not covered by this warranty.
Hereby SCOTT grants a voluntarily manufacturer’s warranty. Additional entitlements
according to national warrant of merchantability are reserved.
