BICYCLE SAFETY
IMPORTANT!
If you purchased this bicycle for a minor, it is essential that a responsible adult
thoroughly reads and explains the safety instructions in this manual to the minor.
Please ensure your SCOTT bike is completely assembled by your authorized SCOTT
dealer. This ensures that your bike is correctly set up to optimize safety, performance
and fun while riding.
It is important to understand the basics of and exercise common sense when cycling.
Cycling is a dynamic sport that requires awareness of and reaction to various situations
and surroundings. Like any sport, cycling involves risks of injury and damage. By
choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for those risks.
IMPORTANT!
Please use your bike only for the purpose it was made for.
For instance, a road racing bike should not be used as a substitute for a mountain bike in
off road terrain. Nor should a Trekking bike be used for downhill racing or road racing.
If you have any questions regarding your new SCOTT bicycle, please contact your
authorized dealer.
Ride Frequently!
1. Obey all traffic laws.
Use proper signals when turning.
Never tow yourself behind another vehicle.
Do not weave or race in traffic.
2. Watch out for parked cars.
A car door can open or a car can pull out into traffic at any time.
3. Always ensure you are highly visible.
Wear bright colors, install reflectors properly and use lights at night.
4. Always wear a helmet.
Ensure the helmet meets or exceeds national safety standards.
5. Ensure that your bicycle is in good working condition before every ride.
Check your brakes, tires, components, etc.
6. Ensure that the bike is the right size.
The rider should be able to reach the brake levers properly.
7. Never have two people on a bicycle designed for one.
Except specially designed and properly installed child carriers.
8. Mount loads securely.
Never mount anything that interferes with brakes or vision.
SADDLE HEIGHT
Comfortable riding depends on the position and height of the saddle. You can adjust
the saddle height by:
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 saddle height is correct.
CAUTION!
Ensure that the limit marking on your seat post is inside the seat tube. If it is not
possible to reach the correct seat height, you will need a larger size.
Ensure that the seatpost marking is inserted into the
frame. If you need to change the inclination of the
saddle or the horizontal position, ensure you do not
exceed the max. tightening torque.
Screws with M5 should be tightened with 6 Nm, and
M8 with 20 Nm.
Ensure the saddle is installed correctly 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.
CHAIN TENSION
If the chain needs to be tensioned
again, release nut A on both sides
and pull the rear wheel straight
backward until the tension is ok.
Retighten nut A on both sides.
Please note the tightening torque in
the Tightening Torques table at the
end of this manual.

TIRES AND RIMS
Tires should always be inflated within the manufacturer’s recommendations. They are
rated from 40 to 80 lbs. (check your tires).
Higher pressure for smoother roads or heavy riders.
Lower pressure for more shock absorption on rougher terrains.
For example:
INFLATE TO MIN. 3.5 (50PSI) - MAX. 6.0 BAR (85PSI)
RIM AND WEAR OF THE RIM
If the brake system has brake pads, please be aware that the rim will become worn
through the action of braking.
When riding in wet and muddy terrain, for example, the rim is quickly worn out.
The appearance of small cracks or deformation of the brake surface on the rim when
increasing the tire pressure indicates increased wear of the rim. If this occurs, the rim
should be replaced immediately at an authorized dealer.
SCOTT bikes that are fully equipped (lights, mudguard, carrier) have a
wear‑out‑indicator.
Please follow the instructions of the rim manufacturer shown in the manual or on the
rim itself.

WHEELS
Bicycle wheels are designed to be removable for easier transportation and for
repair of a tire puncture. In most cases, the wheel axles are inserted into slots, called
“dropouts” in the fork and frame, but some suspension mountain bikes use what is
called a “through axle” wheel mounting system.
If you have a mountain bike equipped with through axle front or rear wheels, make
sure that your dealer has given you the manufacturer’s instructions, and follow
those when installing or removing a through axle wheel. If you don’t know what a
through axle is, ask your dealer.
Hex nuts or hex key bolts which are
threaded on to or into the hub axle
(bolt‑on wheel, fig. 10)
Your bicycle may be equipped with a different securing method for the front wheel
than for the rear wheel. Discuss the wheel securing method for your bicycle with
your dealer.
It is very important that you understand the type of wheel securing method on
your bicycle, that you know how to secure the wheels correctly, and that you know
how to apply the correct clamping force that safely secures the wheel. Ask your
dealer to instruct you in correct wheel removal and installation, and ask him to
give you any available manufacturer’s instructions.
FRONT WHEEL SECONDARY RETENTION DEVICES
Most bicycles have front forks which utilize a secondary wheel retention device
to keep the wheel from disengaging if the quick release is incorrectly adjusted.
Secondary retention devices are not a substitute for correct quick release
adjustment. Secondary retention devices fall into two basic categories:
1. The clip‑on type is a part which the manufacturer adds to the front wheel hub or
front fork.
2. The integral type is molded, cast or machined into the outer faces of the front fork
dropouts.
Ask your dealer to explain the particular secondary retention device on your bike.
WARNING!
Do not remove or disable the secondary retention device. As its name implies, it
serves as a back‑up for a critical adjustment. If the quick release is not adjusted
correctly, the secondary retention device can reduce the risk of the wheel
disengaging from the fork. Removing or disabling the secondary retention device
may also void the warranty.
Failure to properly adjust the quick release mechanism can cause the wheel to
wobble or disengage, which could cause you to loose control and fall, resulting in
serious injury or death.
FIXING A FLAT TIRE
Bike tires are fitted with tubes.
Remove the wheel from the bike and deflate it. Unhook the tire from one side of the
rim using tire tools. Do not screwdrivers.
Remove the tube from the tire casing, repair or replace it. Install the new or repaired
tire. Fill the tube lightly with air in order to let it take its shape. Put the valve stem
through the hole, and fit the inside tire. Put the tire bead in the rim starting at the
valve and finishing at the opposite end, working on both sides. Push the valve stem
into the tire and pull it back down to seat. Make sure the tube is not pinched under
the tire bead. Inflate with hand or foot‑pump.
Close the brake’s quick release system carefully.
USE OF A BICYCLE HAULER
SCOTT bikes are not intended to be used with haulers (load‑haulers, kids‑haulers,
Trailer bikes).
Please note that SCOTT will not take any warranty or responsibility when using
a hauler.
There are too many different haulers and hauler fixation systems on the market
to give a detailed table of systems that might fit without technical problems or
endangering the passengers.

USE OF A BABY SEAT
SCOTT bikes such as Racing Concept, Racing, Endurance, Progressive, Road,
Roadster and Kids Series are not intended to be used with baby seats.
Please note that SCOTT will not take any warranty or responsibility when using a
baby seat on bikes mentioned above.
There are too many different baby seat and baby seat fixation systems on the market
to give a detailed table of systems that might fit without technical problems or
endangering the passengers.
ASSIGNMENT OF BRAKE LEVERS TO FRONT AND REAR BRAKE
In general SCOTT bikes are delivered and preassembled with the right lever
matching the rear brake and the left lever matching the front brake.
Due to national laws this may have been changed by your SCOTT dealer to fulfil the
national laws.
Please ask your dealer to explain to you the assignment of the brakes and brake
levers when handing over the bike.

ENGLISH
ENGLISH
PARTS OF WEAR AND TEAR
PARTS OF WEAR AND TEAR ARE EXCLUDED FROM ANY WARRANTY.
CHAIN
The chain is subject to wear and tear due to its use. The extend of the wear and tear
depends on the maintenance and conditions the bike is subjected to (amount of
kilometers, rain, dirt, salt, etc.).
Cleaning and greasing will help to prolong the life of the chain but it is the
responsibility of the owner to replace the chain when reaching the wear limit.
SPROCKETS, CHAINRINGS AND PULLEYS
The sprockets, chainrings and pulleys are subject to wear and tear due to their use.
The extend of the wear and tear depends on the maintenance and conditions the
bike is subjected to (amount of kilometers, rain, dirt, salt, etc.).
Cleaning and greasing will help to prolong the life of the sprockets, chainrings and
pulleys, but it is the responsibility of the owner to replace them when reaching their
wear limit.
SHIFTING AND BRAKE CABLES
All cables must be checked regularly and changed if necessary. Cables may need to
be changed more regularly if the bike is often left outside or exposed to weather.
BRAKE PADS
All brake pads, whether they are rim‑brakes, disc‑brakes or internal brakes, are
subject to wear and tear due to their use.
The extend of the wear and tear depends on the maintenance and conditions the
bike is subjected to (amount of kilometers, rain, dirt, salt, etc.).
Check your brake pads regularly and replace them if necessary.
RIMS
When using rim brakes, not only are the brake pads subject to wear and tear, but also
the rim. So regularly check the rims, e.g. when inflating the tires.
If you see small cracks or deformation in the brake surface of the rim while inflating
the tires, then replace the rim immediately.
Rims with wear‑out indicators enable the bike user to easily check the condition of
the rim. Refer to the sticker on the rim.
TIRES
The tires are subject to wear and tear due to their use. The extend of the wear and
tear depends on the maintenance and conditions the bike is subjected to and is
influenced by the owner's riding style.
Aggressive braking will reduce the lifetime of the tire dramatically.
In addition, check the air pressure regularly and inflate the tire according to the
pressure recommended by the producer of the tire which is imprinted on the sidewall
of the tire.
LIGHT SYSTEMS AND REFLECTORS
A well functioning light system is incredibly important for your riding safety in
public traffic. Before every ride check your front and tail lights and the condition of
the reflectors. Light bulbs are subject to wear and tear and we recommend taking
replacements with you in case of failure.
HANDLEBAR GRIPS
Handlebar grips are subject to wear and tear due to their use and should be replaced
immediately if they no longer fit to the handlebar or become loose.
HANDLEBAR, STEM AND SEAT POST
The handlebar, stem and seat post are subject to high dynamic forces while riding.
Please check these parts regularly for visible cracks or damage and replace them if
necessary.
In addition, we recommend a periodical replacement (every two years) of these parts
if you ride often and hard.
