WARNING
This symbol indicates a hazardous situation which could result in death or
serious injury – if the relevant operational instructions are not followed or if
the relevant protective measures are not taken.
CAUTION
This symbol indicates a hazardous situation which could result in minor or
moderate injury – if the relevant operational instructions are not followed or
if the relevant protective measures are not taken.
NOTICE
This symbol is used to address practices not related to physical injury – which
may, however, result in damage to property and the environment.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This symbol indicates specific safety-related instructions or procedures
about how to handle the product or refers to a section in the operating in-
structions that deserves your particular attention.
Many of the Warnings and Cautions say “you may lose control and fall”. Because
any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not always repeat the
warning of possible injury or death.
Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition which can occur
while riding, this Manual makes no representation about the safe use of the bicycle
under all conditions. There are risks associated with the use of any bicycle which
cannot be predicted or avoided, and which are the sole responsibility of the rider.
The described possible consequences will not be repeated in the SCOTT general
manual every time one of the symbols appears.
The present general manual together with the detailed original SCOTT operat-
ing instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and
“Road Bike” on the SCOTT web page complies with the requirements of the EN
ISO standards 4210-2 for city and trekking, young adult, mountain and racing
bicycles as well as the EN ISO standard 8098 for bicycles for young children.
It is essential to also observe the detailed original SCOTT operating instructions
“Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the
SCOTT web page, your model specific manual and the manuals of the component
manufacturers. For additional information on your bicycle and the web links for the
component manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you
have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
WARNING
For your own safety, never do any work or adjusting when servicing your bike

• TESTS BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
1. If you want to use your bike on public roads, it has to comply with legal re-
quirements. These requirements may vary in each country. The fittings of your
SCOTT bike are, therefore, not necessarily complete. Ask your SCOTT dealer
concerning the laws and regulations applicable in your country or in the country
you intend to use your SCOTT bike. Have your SCOTT bike equipped according-
ly before using it on public roads.
For more information see the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on public
roads” in your detailed original SCOTT operating instructions “Trekking and
Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the SCOTT
web page.
2. Are you familiar with the brake system (d)? Have a look at the SCOTT handover
report in the Quick Start Manual and check whether the brake lever of the front
brake is on the side you are used to (right or left). If it is not, ask your SCOTT
dealer to switch the brake levers before you set off for the first time.
Your new bike is equipped with modern brakes which may be far more powerful
than those you were used to so far. Be sure to first practise using the brakes on
a level, non-slip surface off public roads! Slowly approach higher brake perfor-
mances and speeds.
For more information see the chapter “Brakes” in this general manual. For addi-
tional information on your bicycle and the web links for the component manu-
facturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have purchased
via your Quick Start Manual.
3. Are you familiar with the type and functioning of the gears (e)? Ask your SCOTT
dealer to explain you the gear system and make yourself familiar with your new
gears in an area free of traffic, if necessary.
For more information see the chapter “Gears” in your detailed original SCOTT op-
erating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and
“Road Bike” on the SCOTT web page and your model specific manual.
4. Are saddle and handlebars properly adjusted? The saddle should be set to a
height from which you can just reach the pedal in its lowest position with your
heel. The hips should remain horizontal (f). Check whether your toes reach to
the floor when you are sitting on the saddle (a, p.28) (exception: full suspension
SCOTT bikes). Your SCOTT dealer will be pleased to help you, if you are not
happy with your seating position.
d e f
WARNING
Be aware that the distance you need to stop your bike increases, when you
are riding with your hands on aero bars, on bar ends or on multi-position
handlebars. The brake levers are not always within easy reach.
Be sure to use your SCOTT bike only according to its intended use, as it may
otherwise not withstand the stress and fail. Risk of falling!
Note that both braking effect and tyre grip can be reduced drastically in wet
conditions. Look well ahead when riding on wet roads and go well below the
speed you would ride at in dry conditions.
CAUTION
Make particularly sure there is enough space between your crotch and the
top tube so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off your pedelec
quickly.
a b c
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 handover 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.
d e f
a b c
WARNING
Do not use your SCOTT bike, if it fails at one of these points! A defective
SCOTT bike can l ead to serious accidents! If you are in doubt or if you have
any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.

• USING QUICK-RELEASES AND THRU AXLES
QUICK-RELEASES ON THE SCOTT BIKE
Most SCOTT bikes are fitted with quick-releases to ensure fast adjustments, assem-
bly and disassembly. Be sure to check whether all quick-releases are tight before
you set off on your SCOTT bike. Quick-releases should be handled with greatest
care, as they affect your safety directly.
Practice the proper use of quick-releases to avoid any accidents.
Quick-release retention mechanisms essentially consist of two operative elements (d):
1. The hand lever on one side of the hub which creates a clamping force via a cam
when you close it.
2. The tightening nut on the other side of the hub with which the preload on the
threaded rod (quick-release axle) is set.
CAUTION
Do not touch the brake disc directly after having stopped, e.g. after a long
down-hill ride, you may burn your fingers! Always let the brake disc cool
down before opening the quick-release.
d e f
WARNING
Make sure the levers of both wheel quick-releases are always on the side op-
posite to the chain. This will help you to avoid mounting the front wheel ac-
cidentally the wrong way round. In the case of SCOTT bikes with disc brakes
and quick-releases having a 5-mm-axle, it may be reasonable to mount both
quick-releases with the lever on the side of the chain drive. This helps you not
to come into contact with the hot brake disc and prevents you from having
your fingers burnt. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact
your SCOTT dealer.
Never ride your SCOTT bike without having checked first, whether the wheels
are securely fastened. With an insufficiently closed quick-release the wheel
can come loose, thus creating a serious risk of accident!
NOTICE
If your SCOTT bike is equipped with quick-releases, be sure to lock the frame
to an immovable object together with the wheels when you leave it outside.
Anti-theft protection!
To be on the safe side you can replace the quick-releases by special locks.
They can only be opened and closed with a special, coded key or an Allen
key. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT
dealer.
WARNING
Improperly mounted wheels may throw you off your bike or result in serious
accidents! Ask your SCOTT dealer to show you how to handle the thru-axle
type you have.
Check the fixing after the first one to two hours of use and subsequently
every 20 hours of use.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To mount the axle only use the tools recommended by the manufacturer. Use
a torque wrench (c) whenever possible. Tighten carefully by approaching the
prescribed maximum torque value in small steps (0.5 Nm increments) and
check in between the proper fit of the component. Never exceed the max-
imum torque value indicated by the manufacturer! A too tight fixing of the
axle can damage the axle or the fork leg.
a b c
WARNING
As all works require know-how, experience, suitable tools and skills, you should
restrict yourself to adjusting your seating position. Contact your SCOTT dealer
for all further settings and modifications. If you want to try it nevertheless, read
the instructions in your detailed original SCOTT operating instructions “Trek-
king and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the
SCOTT web page and your model specific manual.
After any adjustment/assembly work, be sure to make a short functional
check as described in the chapter “Tests before every ride” and do a test ride
on your SCOTT bike in an area free of traffic.
Never ride your bike with the seat post drawn out beyond the limit, maximum,
or stop mark (b)! The seat post might break or cause severe damage to the
frame. Please make sure the seat post clamp is correctly orientated with the
seat post frame clamping slot in the seat tube of the frame.
The saddle should be set to a height from which you can just reach the pedal
in its lowest position with your heel. The hips should remain horizontal. Check
whether your toes reach to the floor when you are sitting on the saddle. Your
SCOTT dealer will be pleased to help you, if you are not happy with your seat-
ing position. Risk of accident!
CAUTION
Make particularly sure there is enough space between your crotch and the top
tube so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off your bike quickly (c).
a b c
WARNING
The suspension fork should be set up and adjusted in a way that it does not
reach the end of its travel, i.e. bottom out, unless in extreme cases (f). A
spring rate which is too soft (air pressure is too low) can usually be heard
or felt as a “clunk” type noise. This noise is caused by the sudden complete
compression of the suspension fork as it reaches bottom out. If the suspen-
sion fork frequently reaches bottom out, it will sustain damage over time, and
so will the frame.
A too strong damping of the suspension fork can result in a sluggish rebound
movement with a suspension fork that will not recover when exposed to a
quick series of impacts. Risk of falling!
Do not turn any bolt on your suspension fork, particularly not with tools, in
the vague hope of adjusting it somehow. You could be loosening the fasten-
ing mechanism, thus provoking an accident. All manufacturers normally mark
adjustment devices with a scale or with “+” (for stronger damping/harder
suspension) and “-” signs.

Suspension fork manufacturers normally include manuals with their deliveries.
Read these carefully before changing any settings or doing any maintenance
work on your suspension fork. For additional information on your bicycle and
the web links for the component manufacturers, please visit the manual pages
of the bike brand you have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
REAR SUSPENSION
Full suspension SCOTT bikes are not only equipped with a suspension fork but also
with movable rear stays (b) which are sprung and damped by a rear shock. This
feature gives you better control of your SCOTT bike when riding cross-country or on
rough road surfaces. The (shock) loads on you and your SCOTT bike are noticeably
reduced. The rear shock normally works with an air spring element or – less fre-
quently – with coil springs. Damping is usually done by oil.
To work perfectly, the rear shock has to be adjusted to the weight of the rider, the
sitting posture and the intended use (c). Be sure to have this adjustment carried
out by your SCOTT dealer at the time of delivery.
For more information see the chapter “Rear suspension” in your detailed original
SCOTT operating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec” and “MTB and
MTB-Pedelec” on the SCOTT web page and your model specific manual. For ad-
ditional information on your bicycle and the web links for the component manu-
facturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have purchased via
your Quick Start Manual.

WARNING
The assignment of brake lever to brake calliper can vary, e.g. left lever acts
on front brake. Have a look at the SCOTT handover report in the Quick Start
Manual and check whether the brake lever of the front brake is on the side
you are used to (right or left). If it is not, ask your SCOTT dealer to switch the
brake levers before you set off for the first time.
Be careful while getting used to the brakes. Practice emergency stops in a
place clear of traffic until you are comfortable controlling your SCOTT bike.
This can save you from having accidents in road traffic.
a b c
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When replacing any parts, be sure to only use parts that bear the appropriate
mark and, to be on the safe side, original spare parts. For more information
see the chapter “Brakes” in this general manual. For additional information
on your bicycle and the web links for the component manufacturers, please
visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have purchased via your Quick
Start Manual. Your SCOTT dealer will be pleased to help you.
a b c
d e f
WARNING
Ride back very carefully, even if your SCOTT bike went through this check
without any problems. Do not accelerate or brake hard and do not ride your
bike out of the saddle. If you are in doubt about the performance of your
SCOTT bike, have yourself picked up by car, instead of taking any risk.
Back home you need to check your SCOTT bike thoroughly. Damaged parts
must be repaired or replaced. Ask your SCOTT dealer for advice. For more
information on carbon components see the chapter “Carbon – a particular
material” in this SCOTT general manual as well as in your detailed original
SCOTT operating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and
MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the SCOTT web page and your model
specific manual. For additional information on your bicycle and the web links
for the component manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike
brand you have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
Deformed components, especially components made of aluminium, can
break without previous warning. They must not be repaired, i.e. straightened,
as this will not reduce the imminent risk of breakage. This applies in particular
to the fork, the handlebars, the stem, the cranks, the seat post and the ped-
als. When in doubt, it is for your safety always the better choice to have these
parts replaced. Ask your SCOTT dealer for advice.
If your SCOTT bike is assembled with carbon components (a), it is imperative
that you have it checked by your SCOTT dealer after an accident or similar in-
cident. Carbon is extremely strong and durable with very low weight, making
it perfect for the production of high-performance parts. However, one of the
inherent properties of carbon is that possible overstress may compromise
the inner carbon-fibre structure without showing any visible deformation, as
is the case with steel or aluminium. A damaged component can fail without
previous warning. Risk of falling!
Make it a rule to check the functioning and in particular the limit stop of the
rear derailleur after a fall or if your SCOTT bike has toppled over.
a b c
d e f
NOTICE
Most clamps of bike carrier systems are potential sources of damage to
large-diameter frame tubes! As a result thereof carbon frames can fail during
use without previous warning. Suitable, special-purpose models are, how-
ever, available in the car accessory trade. Inform yourself there or ask your
SCOTT dealer for advice.
Do not clamp a carbon frame or seat post in the holding jaws of a workstand
(a)! The components may sustain damage. Mount a sturdy (aluminium) seat
post instead and use it to clamp the frame, or choose a work stand that holds
the frame at three points inside the frame triangle or which clamps the fork
and bottom bracket shell.
Protect the exposed areas of your carbon frame (e.g. the head tube and the
underside of the down tube) against rubbing cables or stone chips with spe-
cial pads (b) your SCOTT dealer keeps for sale.
The use of third-party bike shields / protective film is prohibited.

WARNING
Servicing and repairs are jobs best left to your SCOTT dealer. If you have
your bike serviced by anyone else than an expert, you run the risk that parts
of your SCOTT bike will fail. Risk of accident! When working on your SCOTT
bike; restrict yourself to jobs for which you have the suitable tools, e.g. a
torque wrench, and the necessary knowledge.
WARNING
If a component needs to be replaced, make it a rule to only use original spare
parts. Wearing parts of other manufacturers, e.g. brake pads or tyres that
are not of identical dimension, may render your SCOTT bike unsafe. Risk of
accident!
WARNING
Keep cleaning agents and chain oil clear of the brake pads, brake discs and
rim sides (braking surfaces). Otherwise the brake could fail. Never grease
or lubricate the clamping areas of a frame made of carbon, e.g. handlebars,
stem, seat post and seat tube. Once greased, carbon components may never
again ensure reliable clamping!
While cleaning, watch out for cracks, scratches, dents as well as deformed
or discoloured material. Have defective components replaced immediately
and touch up paint defects. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions,
contact your SCOTT dealer.

NOTICE
Do not hang your SCOTT bike on carbon rims. Mount instead at least one
aluminium wheel.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
There are hardly any waiting times at your SCOTT dealer during the winter
months. In addition, many of the SCOTT dealers offer an annual check-up at a
special price. Benefit from the idle time and ask your SCOTT dealer to do the
scheduled maintenance work!

WARNING
For your own safety, bring your SCOTT bike to your SCOTT dealer for its first
inspection after 100 to 300 kilometres, 5 to 15 hours of initial use or four to
six weeks, and at the very latest after three months.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For more information see the chapter “SCOTT service and maintenance
schedule” in your detailed original SCOTT operating instructions “Trekking
and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the
SCOTT web page, your model specific manual and in the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturers. For additional information on your bicycle and the
web links for the component manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of
the bike brand you have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
WARNING
Where no maximum torque setting is given start with 2 Nm. Observe the
indicated values and observe the values on the components and/or in the
manuals of the component manufacturers. For additional information on
your bicycle and the web links for the component manufacturers, please visit
the manual pages of the bike brand you have purchased via your Quick Start
Manual.
Some components have the maximum permissible torque values printed on
them. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum torque value! If
you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Due to the unmanageable number of components on the market, SCOTT is
not in a position to foresee every product that will be replaced or newly as-
sembled by third parties. Therefore SCOTT denies any liability for such kind
of additions or modifications with regard to compatibility, torque values etc.
Whoever assembles or modifies the SCOTT bike shall ensure that the bike
was assembled according to the state-of-the-art in science and technology.
