BIKE OWNERS MANUAL
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.
