SUSPENSIONS ON SCOTT BIKES
Congratulations on your purchase of a new Scott bicy-
cle! 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.
Ride Frequently!
CONGRATULATIONS! BICYCLE
SAFETY
Saddle height
Comfortable riding not only depends on the position
of the saddle, but also on its height. You can accurately
adjust the height of the saddle to the length of your
legs when you proceed as follows:
1. Straddle the saddle. Place the ball of your foot on
the pedal nearest to the ground. Make sure the
cranks are vertical.
2. If the heel of your foot points down about 30 degrees,
the height of the saddle is correct.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the limit mark on your seat post is inside
the seat tube. If it is not possible to reach the correct
seat height, you have to choose a size above.
Make sure that this mark is inserted into the frame.
If you need to change the inclination of the saddle
or the horizontal position, please make sure not to exceed
the max. tightening torque.
Screws with M5 should be tightened with 6 Nm, M8
with 20 Nm.
Please make sure the saddle is connected perfect with
the seat post before every ride.
Please note that Scott is not responsible for damages
caused by neglecting the tightening torques on the seat-
clamp fixing screws.
If you have chosen a Scott bike equipped with a
suspension fork, please refer to the enclosed
instructions of the manufacturer.
For the adjustment of the rear suspension on a fully
suspension bike, please refer to the instructions of the
manufacturer of the suspension elements, and to the
Scott instructions for full suspension bikes. Both booklets
are enclosed with the bike. Only a well adjusted
suspension brings security, comfort and fun.
