REFLEX-CONCEPT /
CHARACTERISTICS
Reflex is based on the results of research and develop-
ment of the very successful Scott Genius-Series, not
only looking for a lightweight frame but also for an
innovative suspension technology in combination with
an optimized kinematics of the rear swingarm.
The combination of an optimized kinematics with a
revolutionary suspension technology closes the gap
between hardtail bikes and the new generation of full
suspended bikes with automatic lockout systems
which are already on the market and which are still
a compromise between suspended and non suspended
bikes.
Reflex was designed for riders and enthusiasts looking
for a "non-bobbing" hardtail-like power transfer to the
rear wheel but are not willing to give up the benefits
of a full suspended bike.
Scott does not see frame, rear shock and kinematics
as single components which are assembled together
on a bike, but as a concept with all these components
working together and offering an outrageous function
by matching perfectly.

KINEMATICS

The Reflex Concept is based on a new designed multi-
pivot technology having no fixed swingarm pivot but
moving on a virtual pivot line.
The more the weight of the rider gets on the rear
wheel (going uphill) and with this the SAG (negative
travel) getting bigger, the more the pivot is moving
towards the small chainring.
In combination with the linear and at the end of stroke
progressive shock characteristics the chain tension
will be reduced and doing so the pedaling will not
influence function or movement of the rear swingarm.
Scott Intelligent Linkage System (ILS) eliminates the
troublesome bobbing.
No power will be lost and an optimum power transfer
is guaranteed as the swingarm, in contrary to locked
or automatic-locking systems, can follow the trail sur-
face and will offer perfect traction and higher speed.

SHOCK-TECHNOLOGY

The heart of the LC-R-System is the newly developed
and innovative Scott Genius LC-R Shock, offering two
functions:
By using the lock out lever on top of the shock body
you can choose between following functions:
1. A A L L L L T T R R A A V V E E L L M M O O D D E E : full travel of 100mm on Reflex
FX models.
2. L L O O C C K K O O U U T T M M O O D D E E : : the shock is locked; climbing on
asphalt roads is now possible without any power loss.
Simultaneously a blow-off-system prevents the shock
being damaged in case the rider did not open the system
while crossing obstacles. [1]

SET-UP REFLEX FX

The Set-Up of the Genius LC-R Shock is shown in
the manual "Scott Genius TC+LC-R Shock 07" atta-
ched to this bike and can be done within a few
minutes. [2]
