OWNER’S MANUAL 2021
WARNING
Due to their specific intended use, some SCOTT dirt bikes are fitted with only
one brake. There is, however, always a second brake supplied which can be
mounted, if necessary. Do not ride these SCOTT bikes on public roads, but
only on enclosed terrain.
A lack of practice when using clipless pedals or too much spring tension in
the mechanism can lead to a very firm connection, from which you cannot
quickly step out! Risk of falling!
In case you had a crash with your SCOTT bike, perform at least the check
described in the chapters “Tests before every ride“ and “Tests after an
accident“. Only ride back very carefully on your SCOTT bike, if it passed the
tests without any problems. Do not accelerate or brake hard and do not ride
your bike out of the saddle. If you are in doubt, have yourself picked up by
car, instead of taking any risk. Back home you need to check your SCOTT
bike thoroughly once again. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions,
contact your SCOTT dealer!
Before you set off for the first time practice shifting gears in a place free of
traffic until you are familiar with the functioning of the levers (d) or twist
grips (e) of your SCOTT bike.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before towing a trailer with your SCOTT city bike (f), SCOTT trekking bike or
SCOTT hardtail mountain bike read chapter “Notes on the transport of loads
and on carrying children and/or pets with your SCOTT bike”.
Before mounting a child carrier, check whether your SCOTT bike is permit-
ted for child carriers. You will find the respective information in the chapter
“Intended use of your SCOTT bike” or in the SCOTT hand over report in the
Quick Start Manual. Contact your SCOTT dealer.
NOTICE
We recommend that you take out a private liability insurance. Make sure that
coverage for bicycle damage is provided by your insurance. Contact your
insurance company or agency.
Always make sure changing gears makes as little noise as possible and is
absolutely jerk-free.
