Page 10 The described possible consequences will not be repeated in the SCOTT own- er’s manual every time one of the symbols appears.
Page 11 Our SCOTT frames and components are customized and adjusted to suit the needs of the users to enhance your joy when riding on your new SCOTT bike – whether you are a beginner or a non-professional road racer! To ensure that you ride safely and with joy, we strongly encourage you to take the time to read this SCOTT owner’s manual thoroughly.
Page 12 This manual cannot teach you how to ride. Please be aware that cycling is a potentially dangerous activity that requires the rider to stay in control of his or her SCOTT bike at all times. If necessary, attend a beginners course for cyclists, as offered here and there.
Page 13 Never ride under the influence of drugs, medication, alcohol or when you are tired. Do not ride with a second person on your SCOTT bike and never ride with- out having both hands on the handlebars. Observe the legal regulations concerning cycling with SCOTT bikes on public roads.
Page 14 There is no bicycle type which is suitable for all purposes (a-c). Your SCOTT dealer will be pleased to help you find the right SCOTT bike for you and your needs. He will also show you the limits of the different types of bicycles.
Page 15 (f), wheelies, tricks, etc. Cyclo-Cross & Gravel/Adven- ture bikes are allowed in Competition. Do not sit or place your full weight on the top tube of your SCOTT bicycle. The frame may sustain damage. Trailers and child seats are only permitted if outlined on your weight card which came with your SCOTT bicycle.
Page 16 You find more information in the chapter “Notes on the transport of loads and on carrying children and/or pets with your SCOTT bike”. You find more information on your SCOTT bike and the weblinks of the com- ponent manufacturers via your Quick Start Manual on the respective pages in the manual of the bicycle brand you have purchased.
Page 17 (f), wheelies, tricks, etc., not for offroad and cyc- lo-cross use or for rides with luggage carriers or pannier bags! Do not sit or place your full weight on the top tube of your SCOTT bike. The frame may sustain damage.
Page 18 You find details as to the maximum permissible overall weight on the sticker on the frame of your SCOTT bike (a). You find details as to the weight of your SCOTT bike / SCOTT pedelec on our website at www.scott-sports.com with your model at “Specifications” (b).
Page 19 WARNING Trailers (c+d) for children, pets and cargo as well as child seats (e) and kids’s tandem bikes/trailer systems (f) are not permitted on principal on SCOTT Cy- clo-Cross & Gravel/Adventure bikes, road bikes, triathlon bikes and time trial machines.
Page 20 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.
Page 21 The brake levers are not always within easy reach. Be sure to use your SCOTT bike only for its intended purpose, as it may oth- erwise not withstand the stress and fail. Risk of falling! Note that both braking effect and tyre grip can be reduced drastically in wet conditions.
Page 22 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”.
Page 23 SCOTT dealer. Nevertheless, be sure to check the following points to exclude any malfunctioning that may be due to the transport of your SCOTT bike or to changes a third person may have per- formed on your SCOTT bike before delivery: 1.
Page 24 For more information see the chapter “Brakes” and the manuals of the com- ponent manufacturers. 5. Let your SCOTT bike bounce on the ground from a small height (b). If there is any rattling, check where it comes from. Check the bearings and bolted connections, if necessary.
Page 25 Some SCOTT bikes are fitted with quick-releases to ensure fast adjustments, assembly 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.
Page 26 Open the quick-release. You should now be able to read “Open” (a) on the lever. Make sure the component to be fastened is in the accurate position. For more information see the chapters “Adjusting the SCOTT bike to the rider” and “Wheels and tyres” and the manuals of the component manufacturers.
Page 27 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.
Page 28 The system from SYNCROS (a-c) for road racing and cyclo-cross racing bikes used by SCOTT are thru axles which provide the forks and the rear frames with a higher stiffness. Whenever your SCOTT bike is exposed to high loads, it re- mains directionally stable.
Page 29 Improperly mounted wheels may throw you off your bike or result in serious accidents! Therefore, if you have the slightest doubt, contact your SCOTT dealer and ask him to explain the system of your SCOTT bike to you. After wheel mounting test the brakes in stationary. You should reach the pressure point of the brake before the brake lever reaches the handlebars.
Page 30 Contact your SCOTT deal- er, if you are not happy with your seating position or if you want something changed. They will see to your wishes the next time you leave your SCOTT bike at the workshop, e.g. for the ﬁrst inspection.
Page 31 SCOTT road bikes. If sitting on the saddle causes you trouble, e.g. because it numbs your crotch, this may be due to the saddle. Your SCOTT dealer has a very wide range of saddles available and will be pleased to advise you.
Page 32 Align the saddle with the frame by using the saddle nose and the bottom brack- et or top tube as a reference point. Clamp the seat post tight again by closing the quick-release, as described in the chapter “Using quick-releases and thru axles”...
Page 33 ADJUSTMENT OF THE HEIGHT OF THE HANDLEBARS In principle, SCOTT road bikes are sports bikes designed for speed. For this rea- son alone a SCOTT road bike sets certain basic requirements to the body, the shoulder and the neck muscles. The height of the handlebars compared to the saddle and the distance between saddle and handlebars determine how much your upper body will be inclined forward.
Page 34 WARNING The stem is one of the load-bearing parts of your SCOTT bike. Changes to it can impair your safety. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer! These routines require a certain amount of manual skill and (special) tools.
Page 35 Stems for threadless systems – Aheadset® In the case of SCOTT bikes with Aheadset® headsets the stem also serves to adjust the bearing preload. If you change the position of the stem, you have to readjust the bearing play (see the chapter “The headset on the SCOTT bike” and the manuals of the component manufacturers).
Page 36 WARNING In the case of turned stems, it is possible that the cables are too short. In this case riding can be unsafe. If in doubt, ask your SCOTT dealer. NOTICE When removing spacers (a) the fork steerer tube must be shortened. This change is irreversible.
Page 37 SCOTT/ SYNCROS dealer. SCOTT will not be liable in case a not originally provided SCOTT or SYNCROS stem is used on the bike assembly. In case of further questions please contact your authorized SCOTT/SYNCROS dealer or the national distributor of SCOTT/SYNCROS.
Page 38 Modifications in the area of the carbon forks are jobs which should be left to a skilled two-wheel/bicycle mechanic. SCOTT therefore recommends that you ask your SCOTT dealer to do any work on the carbon fork, whenever necessary. Wrong processing and unfavourable stems may lead to break- age.
Page 39 In doing so you may achieve differences of more than ten centimetres. In this case you usually would have to adjust the length of the cables – a job best left to your SCOTT dealer! The manufacturers of saddles deliver their products with detailed manuals.
Page 40 WARNING Poorly tightened or loosening bolts can fail. Risk of accident! Check the bolts by using a torque wrench once a month according to the values indicated directly on the components and/or in the manuals of the component manufacturers. Clamping with two bolts in line (a): Release both bolts two to three turns anticlockwise, otherwise the whole assembly can come apart.
Page 41 The clamping mechanism or the saddle rails could break and result in an accident and/or injuries to the rider. Use a different saddle model (e) or contact your SCOTT dealer. WARNING When choosing another saddle, observe that there are round and ovalized rails.
Page 42 Poorly tightened or loosening bolts can fail. Risk of accident! COCKPIT ADJUSTMENT Brake lever reach adjustment on SCOTT road bikes and SCOTT cyclo- cross bikes With road bikes the clearance between brake lever/shifter and handlebar can be adjusted to a minor degree. This gives riders with small hands the convenience of bringing the brake levers closer to the handlebars.
Page 43 “Brakes” and/or in the manuals of the brake manufacturer. If you have problems reaching the levers, please contact your SCOTT dealer. WARNING Make sure you cannot pull the brake levers all the way to the handlebars (f).
Page 44 The ends of the brake lever/ shifter units should meet an imaginary extension of the bottom line of the drops. Shifting the brake levers/shifters is a job best left to your SCOTT dealer, as it involves retaping the handlebars afterwards.
Page 45 What to bear in mind with aero bars on SCOTT triathlon bikes and SCOTT time trial machines In triathlon sport and time trial, where a particularly aerodynamic seating posi- tion is important, so-called aero bars (e) are commonly used. With these aero models the shifters are often positioned at the handlebar ends, the brake levers at the ends of bull-horn handlebars.
Page 46 (b), resulting in an overturning of the SCOTT bike and, secondly, by the grip of the tyres on the road. Such a problem becomes particularly acute when riding downhill.
Page 47 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.
Page 48 RIM BRAKES Racing and side-pull brakes Operation and wear Actuating the levers on the handlebars (a) and cables (b) causes a brake pad to be pressed against a brake surface. The ensuing friction slows down the wheel. If water, dirt or oil come into contact with one of the braking surfaces, this changes the coefficient of friction and deceleration is reduced.
Page 49 See your SCOTT dealer and ask him to examine the remaining thickness of the rims when you are through your second set of brake pads at the latest. Your SCOTT dealer has special measuring devices for determining the remaining thickness of the rims.
Page 50 Before making this adjustment, observe the notes in the chapter “Brake lever reach adjustment on SCOTT road bikes and SCOTT cyclo-cross bikes”. With ongoing brake pad wear, the pressure point at the brake lever moves to- wards the handlebars.
Page 51 Dirty brake pads and rotors can lead to drastically reduced braking power. Therefore, make sure the brake remains free of oil and other fluids, especial- ly when you clean your SCOTT bike or grease the chain. Dirty brake pads can under no circumstances be cleaned, they must be replaced! Rotors can be cleaned with special brake cleaners or with warm water and mild soap.
Page 52 Disc brakes get hot in use. For this reason do not touch the brakes directly after stopping, especially after a long downhill ride. NOTICE If your SCOTT bike has disc brakes, be sure to mount the safety locks (a) before transporting your bike with the wheels dismounted. Hydraulic disc brakes Functional check Regularly check the lines and connections for leaks while pulling on the lever.
Page 53 A heavily clogged brake can lead to squeaking noises during braking. Pull the brake lever and secure it with a strong elastic strap (e), when trans- porting your SCOTT bike with hydraulic disc brakes. This will prevent air from entering the system.
Page 54 (c). Read the manual of the brake manufacturer carefully before adjusting the brake. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer. WARNING Repeated readjustment at the brake cable can drastically reduce the maxi- mum braking performance.
Page 55 GEARS DERAILLEUR GEARS The gears (d+e) of your SCOTT bike serve to adjust the gear ratio to the terrain you are riding on and the desired speed. A low gear (where in the case of derailleur gears the chain runs on the small chainring and a large sprocket (f)) allows you to climb steep hills with moderate pedalling force.
Page 56 Shift lever right – rear sprockets Shift lever left – front chainrings Modern SCOTT road bikes can have up to 33 gears. As there are, however, overlapping ranges, actually 15 to 18 gears are usable. It is not advisable to use gears which involve an extremely oblique run of the chain, as this reduces power transmission efficiency and hastens wear of the chain.
Page 57 The most common brake lever/shifter units and their operation are explained in the following. It is, however, also possible that your new SCOTT road bike has a gear system that is not mentioned below.
Page 58 If there is play between bearing shaft and cranks, they can slip off and sus- tain damage. Risk of falling! Practise switching gears in a place free of trafﬁc until you are familiar with the functioning of the brake lever/shifter units or the shifters of your SCOTT road bike. | 58 ENGLISH OWNER’S MANUAL 2023...
Page 59 SCOTT dealer. 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.
Page 60 SCOTT dealer. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Ask a helper to lift the rear wheel or hang the SCOTT bike into a work stand. By turning the cranks and shifting through you can easily check the function.
Page 61 Do a test ride in a place free of traffic, after adjusting the gears of your bicycle. If your SCOTT road bike has tipped over or the rear derailleur received a blow, the rear derailleur or its mount, also referred to as the derailleur hanger, might be bent.
Page 62 “H” and “L” (b). The limit screws are adjusted by your SCOTT dealer. They do not alter their position during normal use.
Page 63 Shimano Di2 Adjustment and maintenance If you wish, your SCOTT dealer can also change the functioning of the Di2 control buttons (e). The change has to be done with a special test device from Shimano which is also used for troubleshooting.
Page 64 Continue turning the crank carefully and make sure the rear derailleur cage does not collide with the spokes and the chain does not move beyond the biggest sprocket. While doing so, press your thumb against the rear derailleur (a). In principle, the limit stops are adjusted like the limit stops of the mechanical gears (b).
Page 65 The capacity of the battery and hence the distance that you can ride drop grad- ually over time. This is unavoidable. You must replace the battery if the distance that you can ride is no longer sufficient for your requirements. WARNING Only use the supplied charger to charge the battery! NOTICE...
Page 66 Once this is done, turn the cranks a few more times; then let your SCOTT bike rest for a few min- utes so that the lubricant can disperse. Finally wipe off excess lubricant with a rag so that it does not spatter around during riding or can collect road dirt.
Page 67 ﬁrst kilometres. Ask your SCOTT dealer to check and true up the wheels after you have bedded them in over about 100 to 300 kilometres or 5 to 15 hours of use.
Page 68 Both the rolling friction and the grip depend on the nature of the tyre carcass, the rubber compound and the tyre tread. Your SCOTT dealer will be pleased to help you choose from the numerous types of tyres.
Page 69 Clincher and folding tyres and rim alone are not able to hold the air. Therefore, an inner tube has to be placed inside the tyre (f) to retain the air pressure. Rims of clincher and folding tyres require in general a high-value rim tape over the complete width of the rim base.
Page 70 You can find the values in the manuals of the rim or wheel manufacturer. VALVES There is only one valve type in general use on SCOTT road bikes: The Sclaverand or Presta valve that is designed to withstand extremely high pressures (a). It has a plastic cap protecting the valve from dirt.
Page 71 The functioning of the SCOTT bike may even be impaired before you no- tice the wobbling appearance of a wheel that has gone out of true.
Page 72 WARNING The maximum permissible overall weight of 120 kg / 264 lbs including rider, luggage (rucksack) and SCOTT road bike must not be exceeded. Trailer towing is not permitted in general. Also observe the manuals of the wheel manufacturer. 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.
Page 73 (f). SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Before removing a wheel, read the chapters “Remounting the wheel” and “Using quick-releases and thru axles”. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer. ENGLISH 73 | ROAD BIKE |...
Page 74 You will find it easier to remove the rear wheel, when you pull the rear derailleur slightly backwards (c). Lift your SCOTT road bike a little off the ground and give the wheel a light blow with your hand so that it drops out.
Page 75 NOTICE Do not pull the (disc) brake lever with a removed wheel and make sure to mount the safety locks when removing the wheel for a longer period of time. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Observe the manuals of the brake and gear manufacturers. For additional information on your bicycle and the web links for the component manufac- turers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
Page 76 Rim tapes for this type of rim should only be made of fabric or durable plastic. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer. WARNING If the fabric of the tyre is destroyed by the perforating object, replace the tyre to be on the safe side.
Page 77 Make sure the inner tube does not get pinched and squashed between the tyre and the rim. You can prevent this by pushing the inner tube into the hollow of the tyre (c) with a ﬁnger as you work along. Work the tyre into the rim by approaching the valve symmetrically from both sides.
Page 78 TUBELESS TYRES (UST TYRES) Tubeless tyres (a) are also referred to as “tubeless ready”. The rims are provided with specific valves, have an entirely enclosed rim base and partly also a specific rim shape. There is no inner tube. Tyre removal Deflate the tubeless/UST tyre completely (b).
Page 79 NOTICE There are also repair sprays available. You find more details on these sprays further below in this chapter. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS There are specific patches available for tubeless tyres which are applied inside. If need be you can also use a conventional repair patch. Always ob- serve the operating instructions of the repair kit manufacturer.
Page 80 The first air blast is crucial for the mounting (a). The tyre must inflate and be in contact with the rim immediately to make sure no air escapes. It is therefore recommended that you use a compressor or a powerful track pump. Inflate the tyre with quick blasts.
Page 81 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS It is not only possible to ride with UST/tubeless tyres, but also with typical folding tyres without inner tube and filled with latex milk, if necessary. Read and observe the instructions of the supplier. Useful information about tubeless tyres CAUTION The valve nut of tubeless tyres must be checked regularly for a tight seat (d).
Page 82 After mounting the wheel and tightening the quick-release pull the brake lever (d) (several times, if you have disc brakes). Lift your SCOTT bike off the ground and spin the wheel with your hand. With the wheel spinning the rotor should not drag along the brake calliper or the brake pads and the rim should keep off the (rim) brake pads.
Page 83 WARNING If you have rim brakes, make sure you hook up the brake cable immediately after the wheel mounting! Before setting off again check that the brake surfaces and/or rotors are still free of grease or other lubricants after the wheel mounting (e). Check whether the brake pads hit the rotors or brake surfaces of the rims.
Page 84 For more information see the chapters “Adjusting the SCOTT bike to the rid- er” and “The headset on the SCOTT bike” and the manuals of the component manufacturers. 3. Check whether the chain still runs on the chainrings and the sprockets. If your SCOTT bike fell over to the chain side, verify the proper functioning of the gears.
Page 85 “Using quick-releases and thru axles” and the manuals of the compo- nent manufacturers. 5. Let your SCOTT bike bounce on the ground from a small height. If there is any rattling, check where it comes from. Check the bearings and bolted connec- tions, if necessary.
Page 86 Ask your SCOTT dealer for advice. If your SCOTT bike is assembled with carbon components, it is imperative that you have it checked by your SCOTT dealer after an accident or similar incident. Carbon is extremely strong and durable with very low weight, mak- ing it perfect for the production of high-performance parts.
Page 87 (e.g. every three years), even if they have not experienced any undue stress, such as an accident. When you intend to transport your SCOTT bike in the boot of your car, be sure to protect the bike or the carbon frame and components. Blankets (e), foam tubes or the like are a suitable padding to protect the sensitive material from damage.
Page 88 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 special pads (c+d) your SCOTT dealer keeps for sale. Carbon fibre components are particularly vulnerable to damage caused by excessive clamping force.
Page 89 The headset (e) connects the fork to the frame, but allows it to move freely. It must turn with virtually no resistance, if the SCOTT bike is to run straight, stabilising itself as it travels. Shocks caused by uneven road surfaces expose the headset to considerable levels of stress.
Page 90 With a gentle tap on the handlebars the fork should turn easily from the middle position (a). If you face any problems during the test, contact your SCOTT dealer. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Adjusting the headset requires a certain amount of experience and should therefore be left to your SCOTT dealer.
Page 91 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS If you do not succeed in adjusting the headset, this can have several reasons. If you are not absolutely sure, ask your SCOTT dealer for help. LIGHTING OF YOUR SCOTT BIKE For riding on public roads a functioning lighting set (f) is obligatory (see the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on public roads”).
Page 92 USEFUL FACTS ABOUT THE SCOTT BIKE HELMETS AND GLASSES Cycling helmets are a must when riding a bicycle. Your SCOTT dealer has a variety of styles and sizes. Make sure the helmet complies with the test standard EN 1078 or the like (de- pending on the country where you use it).
Page 93 UV protection for cycling in the dawn and at night or glasses with maximum UV protection for cycling under extreme sunlight. Your SCOTT dealer has a wide range of cycling glasses available and will be pleased to advise you. CLOTHING Cycling trousers (e) are essential if you want to sit comfortably.
Page 94 This will pre- vent your feet from assuming a natural position when pedalling and may cause knee pain in the long run. Your SCOTT dealer has a wide range of shoes availa- ble and will be pleased to advise you.
Page 95 Whatever you are planning to do with your SCOTT bike, be sure to have proper equipment and to keep a few tips in mind. Your SCOTT dealer has a variety of useful accessories on offer enhancing both your safety and convenience.
Page 96 Bicycle locks Do not forget to take a high quality D- (b) or chain lock with you on your ride. The only way to effectively protect your SCOTT bike against theft is to lock it to an immovable object. Puncture kit The most important accessories for a successful cycle tour are a tyre pump and a small tool kit.
Page 97 Aero or triathlon/time trial bars Before you mount aero or triathlon/time trial bars (e) on your SCOTT road bike, it is essential to find out first whether the handlebars or a corresponding attach- ment for use with your handlebars and stem are approved.
Page 98 (kids) trailers (c), child carriers (d) and kids’ tandem bike systems are not permitted. Note that SCOTT will not assume liability for the use of trail- ers, child carriers and kids’ tandem bike systems. Such a use would render the warranty null and void.
Page 99 Risk of accident! Do not buy a carrier on which the SCOTT road bike has to be mounted up- side down, i.e. with the handlebars and saddle ﬁxed face down to the carrier.
Page 100 If your SCOTT bike has disc brakes, be sure to mount the safety locks (c) be- fore transporting your SCOTT cyclo-cross bike with the wheels dismounted.
Page 101 BY PLANE If you want to take your SCOTT bike with you when you go on a trip by plane, pack it in an appropriate bicycle suitcase (f) or in a bicycle cardboard box that you can obtain from your SCOTT dealer.
Page 102 The bedding-in phase typically involves spokes slightly losing tension or gears com- ing out of adjustment (b), so there is every reason to have your SCOTT dealer service the SCOTT bike at this stage. This bedding-in process is unavoidable.
Page 103 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.
Page 104 SCOTT dealer. NOTICE Do not clean your SCOTT bike with a high-pressure cleaner or a water jet and if you do, be sure to keep it at a distance. Do not aim at the bearings. Only use petroleum-based solvents for cleaning tough oil or grease stains from paint and carbon surfaces.
Page 105 Store your bike in a dry, well aerated place. If you want to store your SCOTT bike for a longer period of time, e.g. over the winter months, please observe the following things: Inﬂated inner tubes tend to gradually lose air when the bike is not used for a long time.
Page 106 SCOTT SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE It is advisable to have your SCOTT bike serviced regularly after the bedding-in phase. The schedule given in the table below is a rough guide for cyclists who ride their bike between 1,500 and 2,500 km or 60 to 100 hours of use a year.
Page 107 Jobs marked o are best left to your SCOTT dealer. 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.
Page 108 All bolted connections of the bike components have to be tightened carefully and checked regularly to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the SCOTT bike. This is best done with a torque wrench that disengages as soon as the desired torque value has been reached or a click-type torque wrench.
Page 109 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. NOTICE 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.
Page 110 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. NOTICE 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 assembled by third parties.
Page 111 LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR RIDING ON PUBLIC ROADS If you want to use your SCOTT bike for riding on public roads (d), it has to be equipped according to the regulations of the respective country. Pay particular attention to your SCOTT bike being equipped with the prescribed lighting (e) and reflectors (f).
Page 112 To ensure a long service life and good durability of your SCOTT bike, use it only for its intended purpose (see the chapter “Intended use of your SCOTT bike”...
Page 113 NOTES ON WEARING PARTS Some components of your SCOTT bike are subject to wear due to their function (a+b). The rate of wear will depend on care and maintenance and the way you use your SCOTT bike (mileage, riding in the rain, dirt, salt etc.). SCOTT bikes that are often left standing in the open may also be subject to increased wear through weathering.
Page 114 The guarantee period is reduced to three years, if the SCOTT bicycle is not serviced at least once a year by an au- thorized SCOTT dealer. Maintenance services must be carried out in accordance with the maintenance instructions in the SCOTT manual and must be confirmed there by the stamp and signature of the authorized SCOTT dealer.
Page 115 Performance of SCOTT in the event of a guarantee claim In the event of a guarantee claim, SCOTT will, at its own discretion, repair the defect or replace the defective product with a product of similar quality, where- by colour and model deviations are possible. If a repair or replacement is not possible, a purchase price refund will be made taking into account previous use.
