••GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL DATA SCALE 3 700

SCOTT SCALE 3
••SCALE CONCEPT
From the Carbon fiber to the manufacturing process to the final result- the new Scale
has been completely redesigned. The result: a new benchmark for race hardtail frames.
The Scale RC 700 SL weighs in at only 849 grams. The incredible lightweight frame
characteristics and two dedicated frame platforms for 1x and 2x drivetrains lift the standard
of hardtail mountain bikes to a new level.
A mix of high-end carbon fibers has been used on all Scale Carbon frames in order to
achieve incredible results. The HMX-SL frame utilizes MR70, YS60 and HR40 Carbon
fibers. HR40 is a strong and light filament which, used together with MR70 fibers, attains
unachieved tensile strength values. In order to achieve the set stiffness targets, YS60 layers
are added into the lay-up. After choosing the Carbon fibers, the engineers are using specific
tools, like FEA software, to map out the carbon lay-up. Thanks to SCOTT's proprietary
EvoLap-Technology, different forces can be applied on a virtual model and the frame
construction is adjusted accordingly.

The SDS2 technology achieves comfort in carbon frames without adding parts or sacrificing
stiffness characteristics. In order to achieve this, the engineers use different tube shapes in
combination with a strategic alignment of the carbon fibers to avoid any undesired flex that
can impair performance.
The Boost standard improves wheel stiffness and allows for increased tire clearance. The
new Scale frame has been developed around the Boost standard in order to maximize the
advantages of the new norm. The three millimeter outboard chain ring adds clearance to the
chainstay area allowing for a significant increase of the chainstay cross-section for both, the
1x and 2x models. This offers more possibilities to find the right position of the rear wheel in
the frame in order to achieve improved structural stiffness.
The new Scale is available in two different versions. The HMX-SL and HMX frames are
optimized for 1x drivetrains only and therefore dedicated to race-oriented riders. The HMF
line-up is designed and optimized around a double chain ring setup. These models can,
however, accommodate a single chainring configuration.

SCOTT Scale 3 is designed around the BOOST platform so many of the fitted parts: cranks/
wheels/dropouts/forks differ from traditional cycle parts. Always consult your authorized
SCOTT dealer for advice on replacing or repairing any part of your SCOTT bike!

••RIDELOC
This section refers to SCOTT bikes fitted with the RIDELOC system. For all non-RIDELOC
systems please refer to the specific fork manual for your setup.
The RIDELOC system offers the rider full control of all 3 modes of the front forks with a
single lever, the position and function of the RIDELOC lever make for effortless control over
the forks function.
The 3 basic functions of RIDELOC system are:
--

Climb-out Mode

--

Traction Mode

--

Descent Mode

There are 3 positions of the RIDELOC remote lever.
1. CLIMB MODE: The fork is nearly locked; climbing on asphalt roads is now possible with
little power loss. A simultaneous blow-off-system prevents the forks being damaged in
case the rider does not open the system while crossing obstacles.
2. TRACTION MODE: Altering the dampening of the forks will result in climbing with reduced
“bobbing” and still offers optimum control of the front wheel.
3. DESCENT MODE: Full travel of the fork.

You can only assemble the “standard” RIDELOC remote lever in “left side upward position”
on the handlebar (this is usually fitted on bikes with x2 front chainrings).
On bikes with X1 chainring on the front the under bar RIDELOC remote lever in “left side
downward” position can be fitted as standard.
It is possible to change the RIDELOC lever to the underbar option if the bikes gears have
been changed to X1 system, a new alternative lever will be required for this adjustment;
please consult your local SCOTT dealer for more information on obtaining the correct lever
for your bike.

••BASIC SET-UP OF FORKS

••SAG

Recommended tools for the shock setup:

Your SCOTT bike will be supplied with a SAG tool to help set up your bikes suspension, these
SAG tools can be easily clipped on the fork body and Fork dust seal.

--

The SAG tool that came with your bike. *Fox forks only

--

A shock pump with a special air valve connector (not supplied with this bike), this will
help stop air from escaping while removing the pump from the shock valve.

For the best performance it is recommended you start with SAG of 15-20% for forks.
1. Make sure before any adjustment is made that your forks are in the “open” position.
2. With the fork pump attached to the fork valve, pump your desired pressure into the fork.
Once the pressure is achieved slowly compress and decompress your fork through 25% of
its travel 10 times. This will equalize the positive and negative air chambers and will change
the pressure on the pump gauge, if needed add or reduce pressure and repeat.
Note the compression/decompression of the fork through the travel must also be done
if the pressure is reduced!
3. Once your desired pressure is reached slide the rubber O-ring on the fork leg against the
dust seal, clip on your SAG tool if required.
4. Sit on your bike in your usual riding position (in your riding gear: if you carry a bag/
Hydration-system put it on,) don’t “bounce” the suspension while doing this, use a wall or
a friend for support if needed.

Please note that air will flow into the hose and indicator when counterchecking the air
pressure, this will give the appearance that the shock has less air pressure than it was setup,
your shock may need to be adjusted once this action is made.

5. Get off the bike gently without bouncing and check the O-ring position on the fork
stanchion, with the SAG adjuster clipped on. This makes it easy to see where your SAG is
set. Example below.

Please also note that the indicators of shock pumps have a tolerance of max. 10%.

••

For bikes spec’d with Fox forks:

IMPORTANT!

You can find more specific information about Fox set
up on Fox’s website, please use your fork ID number
to find more useful setup tips for your exact fork
(visit: ridefox.com)

Do not sit on your bike with the shock pump
attached to the bike!

••REBOUND FORK SET-UP

If your dropout needs to be replaced, we recommend this work should be carried out by
your local SCOTT dealer as the rear derailleur may need adjustment, failure to adjust this
correctly may result in accident or damage to your bike.

“Rebound” describes the speed the fork returns back
to its original length after absorbing an obstacle,
setting of this is very important for the handling and
correct function of the bike.

••

IMPORTANT!

We recommend all work should be carried out by your authorised SCOTT dealer!

The rebound adjustment dial location may vary form
fork to fork please consult the manual that came with
this bike.

After the fork pressure/SAG is correctly set ride your
bike in a safe area with your riding gear/backpack,
etc. While remaining in the saddle, ride you bike off a
drop/kerb of about 10-15 cm.

If you wish to change this item yourself, please ensure the bike is supported correctly to
prevent damage by referring to the general manual instructions supplied with your bike.

* Fox rebound adjuster shown

--

If it bounces 1-2 times and settles the set-up is good.

--

If it bounces more than 3 times the rebound is too fast, turn the knob 1-2 “clicks”
clockwise and repeat.

--

If there is no bounce the rebound is too slow, turn the knob 1-2 click counter clockwise
and repeat.

--

Repeat these steps until the desired result is achieved.

Your SCOTT Scale bike was designed to be used in conjunction with a specific forks,
changing the forks on your bike may cause poor/unsafe riding characteristics or damage
to frame and components, please consult your SCOTT dealer for any assistance you need,
failure to do this may affect your warranty

Before installing the new hanger first
make sure the area is clean; insert
the hanger.

Insert the end cap through the frame and
into the hanger.

Make sure the location arrow is pointing
to the lower bolt hole; insert the bolt (Max
torque 1.5 N/M)

Insert the second bolt in the rear of the
dropout (Max torque 1.5 N/M)

This is the basic principle on setting your forks up, please always consult the fork owner's
manual for full instructions to familiarize yourself with the product.

••REPLACEABLE REAR DROPOUT
On SCOTT Scale models for 2017 the rear derailleur hanger is replaceable, this hanger is
available in two options depending on if your bike is equipped with a standard or direct
mount rear derailleur.

FOR CARBON SCOTT SCALE 3 FRAMES ONLY:

Once the bike is reassembled please insure the wheels are refitted correctly and the gears
are set correctly including the over shift stops, please consult your authorized SCOTT dealer
for assistance.

••CABLE GUIDES AND CABLING.

••BB STANDARDS/FD MOUNTING DETAILS

On the carbon SCOTT Scale the cable guides on the headtube can be changed if required
so different cable configurations can be used, the inside of the cable guide is stamped with a
number or numbers, these numbers dictate what cables can be used, these are the same for
left and right.

The SCOTT Scale has a Press fit PF92 bottom bracket with an inner diameter of 41mm, this
is a press fit system and special tools are required for removal and refitting, please contact
your SCOTT dealer for assistance.

The numbers indicate what cables fit the guide; the guide shown will hold 2 mechanical
cables and one hydraulic.

The SCOTT Scale (non RC models) uses a high direct mount side swing front derailleur only,
this must be used with the use of an FD adaptor plate.

They are available in the following combinations and are available from your SCOTT dealer.

4 = mechanical cable
5 = hydraulic cables
DI2 = DI2
Blank= no cable

Combinations:
4,

4-5-5,

5,

4-4-5,

4-4,

DI2,

4-5,

4-DI2,

5-5,

5-DI2,
4-5-DI2

These cable guides are fitted with a single bolt, the fixing torque of this must not exceed
0.75-1 N/M.

With the many different cabling options it is possible to customise the cable routing slightly
depending what components you wish to run, it is recommended that handlebar cables
that come from the right hand side enter the frame on the left, and handlebar cables that
come from the left hand side enter the frame on the right, while this is not crucial to the
performance of the bike it may help to prevent any cable rub
Below is an example of a bike set up “European style” with a 1X set up and a dropper seatpost.
Please note that below is an example and that your bikes brakes need to be set up as per
the law in your country, please check with your local SCOTT dealer for this information.

••BB STANDARDS/FD MOUNTING DETAILS
Scale 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, Scale Plus) 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.
For Scale Plus the FD fixation is E-Type with 3mm
outboard to match with rear hub boost standard.
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.

••HEADSET OPTIONS
Scale 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.

••

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.

Plus) or 38.2mm (Scale 900) and please note the maximum tightening torque on the fixing
bolt of 5Nm/44 in/lbs

The rear disc brake on Scale is Postmount
(PM) Standard on the left chainstay and
