The Nitrous should be adjusted exactly to the current
rider for reaching maximum safety and fun while riding.
All adjustments should be done at the local Scott dealer
or following to this manual.

MECHANICS HINT
This pivot position combines perfect climbing uphill
with optimum freeride function on the downhill.
Priority while designing the Nitrous was to find a perfect hardcore Freeride/DH-bike.
SCOTT decided to use the pivot position of the swingarm of the Octane 2000-2002 which is already wellknown and highly appreciated by independent bike
magazines.
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.

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.

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.

Using the 200mm rear shock of Fox (eye to eye 200 mm,
Travel 57mm) will result in 195mm rear travel at a suspension ratio of 3,42.
REAR TRAVEL NITROUS IMPORTANT
Note that you have to mount the 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 2.25 55- 65 kg
450 x 2.25 65- 75 kg
550 x 2.25 75- 85 kg
650 x 2.25 85- 95 kg
750 x 2.25 95- xx kg
Inline we will have size S with coil 500 x 2.25 for 65-75
kg rider weight, size M with coil 600 x 2.25 for 75-85 kg
and size L with coil 700 x 2.25 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 200mm and a shock travel of 57mm we recommend a SAG between 25-30% of
the shock travel which means 15-18mm.
When sitting on the bike there should be an eye-to-eye
distance of 172-175mm.
An easy way to control the SAG is to use the SAG-Boy
on the back of this manual.
The SAG-Boy is with middle length of 173mm
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.

If you want to use a different rear shock model than
the one originally on the bike, please make sure that
the shock will not damage the frame.
Please follow the instruction below:
Please make sure that the rear shock or its accessory
parts do not touch the frame when mounting or suspending.
For doing so remove the coil, install the shock and compress the shock completely.
If the shock touches the frame while doing so do not
use this shock in order to avoid damage to frame, swingarm or shock.
Please check this issue on all travel adjustment
options.
SET-UP OF OTHER SHOCK
MODELS
After a dismantlement of the rear shock, the front
fixing bolt on the mainframe of the rear shock
should be tightened with a tightening torque of
14 Nm, the rear shock fixing bolt on the swingarm
with 10 Nm.
If this is not done correctly the rear shock can be
damaged.

IMPORTANT
On Nitrous bikes of model year 07 you’ll find 2 different
styles of dropouts

The pivot and bearings on SCOTT Nitrous are extremely
easy to maintain.
An external treatment with a grease spray after every
bike wash is all you have to do. We do not recommend
heavy grease sprays since these will leave a film on
the parts which is difficult to remove. We recommend
the same for the chain also.
If you have to change the bearings you can order them
included in a service kit at your local SCOTT dealer
with parts number 15.1.860.402.0.000 or buy them with
international parts number 61803 2RS 17x26x5 in a
hardware store.
In case of a change of the bearings or of the rear swin
-
garm you should contact your local SCOTT dealer there
-
fore you need special tools for disassembly and assembly.
For the set up of the front fork please use the fork specific manual attached to the bike.
We recommend to use front forks with a travel between
150-200mm, as this will not influence too much the geometry and handling of the bike.
The frame also can be used with a double bridge crown
(triple-clamp-design).
Please ask your Scott dealer to make sure that the fork
of your choice will not damage the frame.
The frame of Nitrous is originally equipped with a head
tube with a diameter to fit 1.5“ fork steerer tubes.
Some complete bikes are equipped with a reducerheadset to use forks with a steerer diameter of 1 1/8“,
or the bikes have an alloy reducer from 1.5” to 1 1/8”
to fit for standard 1 1/8” headsets.
In case you want to use a fork with 1.5” standard steerer
you have to replace the original headset.

Frame _________________________
SCOTT bikes are made using the most innovative production and quality methods. They are equipped with
best components of well known parts suppliers.
Doing so SCOTT warrants its frames and swingarms
for five years (subject to compliance with maintenance
ranges, see below) and SCOTT forks (provided it is
a fork of SCOTT) for two years for defects in material
and/or workmanship in case of purchase of completely
assembled bikes.
This warranty of 5 years for the frames shall only be
granted in case once a year a maintenance service has
been effected according to maintenance requirements
as set forth in this manual by an authorised SCOTT
dealer.
The authorised SCOTT dealer shall confirm the effected
annual maintenance service by stamp and signature.
In case such an annual maintenance service has not
been effected the warranty of 5 years for the frame
shall be reduced to 3 years.
Costs for maintenance and service have to be born
by the owner of the SCOTT bike.
On High Octane the warranty period is limited to 2 years.
The warranty period starts at the day of purchase.
This warranty is limited to the first buyer, what means
the first person who uses the bike and only with the
use it was made for. Furthermore, this warranty is limited
to purchases via authorized SCOTT-dealers to the
exclusion of purchases via internet auctions.
In case of a warranty claim the decision to repair or to
replace the defective part is up to SCOTT. Non defective
parts will only be replaced at the guarantee’s own
expense.
Fair wear and tear is not covered by the warranty.
A complete list of all parts of wear and tear can be
found in the next chapter of this manual.
In addition, you will find at the end of this manual a
protocol for the handing over of the bike which will
remain in copy at the SCOTT dealer after acceptance
and signature of the consumer.
It is obligatory to show this protocol of handing over
together with the defective part in case of a warranty
claim given that it provides evidence of purchase.
Otherwise no warranty is granted.
In principle, this warranty is granted worldwide.
Claims must be made through an authorized dealer,
for information regarding the nearest dealer, write or
call this company or the national SCOTT distributor.
Normal wear, accident, neglect, abuse, improper
assembly, improper maintenance by other than an
authorized dealer or use of parts or devices not consistent with the use originally intended for the bicycle as
sold are not covered by this warranty.
Hereby SCOTT grants a voluntarily manufacturer’s warranty. Additional entitlements according to national
warrant of merchantability are reserved.
