MECHANICS HINT

SCOTT decided to use the optimized pivot position of the
swingarm of the Octane 2000-2002 which is already
wellknown and highly appreciated by independent bike
magazines.

This pivot position combines perfect climbing uphill with
optimum freeride function on the downhill.

Priority while designing the Nitrous was to find a perfect
solution between a long distance full suspension bike
and a hardcore Freeride/DH-bike.

CONCEPT

GEOMETRY
TECHNICAL DATA NITROUS

The direct and straight cable system on all our full
suspension models allows Smart Cable Routing which is
very resistant against water and dirt.

To change the cables simply unscrew and open the three
cable brackets on the downtube.

The outer housing of the cables can also be fixed on
the bottle cage with cable fixers, the two brackets
below the cage are not needed anymore.

Using the 190mm rear shock of Manitou/Fox (eye to eye
190mm, Travel 51mm) will result in following travel
options:

150mm und170mm
You can adjust the travel on the shock mount of the front

triangle.
You will get 150mm in the upper mounting position and

170mm in the lower position.

Some bikes of the Nitrous series are equipped with a
telescope seatpost which offers a wider adjustment
range of the seatheight.

In case you want to upgrade your Nitrous with the
telescope seatpost you can order it at your local Scott
dealer with article number 15.1.844.405.0.349.

ADJUSTMENT OF SEAT

ADJUSTABLE REAR TRAVEL
NITROUS IMPORTANT

Note that you have to mount the Manitou/Fox Rear
Shock always with the container (Piggy Pack) as shown
underneath in the position “front top”.
Mounting the rear shock in a different position can lead
to severe damages at the frame, the swingarm and the
rear shock.

Coil-Over-Shock:

For the adjustment of the negative travel (SAG) of
Nitrous it is really important to check first if the coil
fits to the weight of the rider.

Recommended coil:
Print on coil Weight of Rider

350 x 2.0 55 - 65 kg
450 x 2.0 65 - 75 kg
550 x 2.0 75 - 85 kg
650 x 2.0 85 - 95 kg
750 x 2.0 95 - xx kg

Inline we will have size S with coil 450 x 2.0 for 65­75 kg rider weight, size M with coil 550 x 2.0 for 75­85 kg and size L with coil 650 x 2.0 for 85-95 kg rider
weight.

If the recommended coil for the weight of the rider
is mounted on the bike, you can start to adjust the
SAG.

With an eye-to eye distance of 190mm and a shock
travel of 51 mm we recommend a SAG between
25-30% of the shock travel which means 13-16mm.

When sitting on the bike there should be an eye-to­eye distance of 177-174mm.

An easy way to control the SAG is to use the SAG­Boy on the back of this manual.

The SAG-Boy is with middle length of 175.5 mm on
the back of the manual.

We recommend a minimum preload of the coil of
2-3 turns of the preload cup and a maximum preload
of 7-8 turns.

In case you need more or less preload please use a
softer or harder coil.

For further information concerning the rear shock
please read the attached manual of the rear shock
producer.

SET–UP NITROUS

IMPORTANT!

The seatpost has to be brought

into the seattube at a minimum of 100 mm

and must not stick out more than 25 mm

at the bottom end.
