OWNER MANUAL
Congratulations on your purchase of a new SCOTT
bicycle! We are confident that the bicycle will exceed
your expectations for value, performance, and ride qua-
lity. Each frame set and component has been custom
specified and designed to enhance your riding experien-
ce. Whether you are a beginning cyclist, or a seasoned
pro. SCOTT bicycles will provide endless hours of two-
wheeled fun.
We strongly encourage you to take the time to read this
manual and familiarise yourself with your new bicycle.
If you have purchased a bike for your children, please
take the time to make sure they understand the infor-
mation contained in this Owner's Manual.
Important!
If you purchased this bicycle for a minor, it is essential
that a responsible adult/parent thoroughly reviews and
reads the Owner's Manual to the minor.
It is important to understand the basics of riding a
bicycle, but it is equally important to exercise common
sense when cycling. Cycling is a dynamic sport and
requires reacting to varying situations. Like any sports,
cycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing
to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that
risk.
If you have questions or problems regarding your new
SCOTT bicycle, please contact your Authorised Dealer.

Comfortable riding not only depends on the position of
the saddle, but also on its height. You can accurately
adjust the height of the saddle to the length of your legs
when you proceed as follows:
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 height of the saddle is correct.
Caution!
Make sure that the limit mark on your seat post is insi-
de the seat tube. If it is not possible to reach the correct
seat height, you have to choose a size above.
Make sure that this part
remains in the seat tube
If you need to change the inclination of the saddle or the
horizontal position, please make sure not to exceed the
max. tightening torque.
Screws with M5 should be tightened with 6 Nm, M8
with 20 Nm.
Please make sure the saddle is connected perfect with
the seat post before every ride.
If you have chosen a SCOTT bike equipped with a
suspension fork, please refer to the enclosed
instructions of the manufacturer.
For the adjustment of the rear suspension on a fully
suspension bike, please refer to the instructions of
the manufacturer of the suspension elements, and
to the SCOTT instructions for full suspension bikes.
Both booklets are enclosed with the bike.
Only a well adjusted suspension brings security,
comfort and fun.
