Genius Lt concept
Genius LT is a new step on All Mountain Bikes, redefining this category of bikes with a
maximum travel of 185mm but yet good in uphill sections.
Scott’s focus was not only on lightweight but also on a durable frame with an
innovative suspension technology in combination with an optimized kinematics of the
rear swingarm.
The combination of an optimized kinematics with an extraordinary suspension
technology closes the gap between superlight dual-suspension marathon oriented
bikes (e.g. Scott Genius) and the new generation of freeride bikes (e.g. Scott Voltage
FR).
Genius LT was designed for riders looking for a dual suspended All Mountain Bikes bike
offering a maximum rear wheel travel of 185mm.
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.
The Genius LT Concept is based on a new designed multi-pivot technology.
In combination with the linear shock characteristics the chain tension will be reduced
and doing so the pedaling will not influence function or movement of the rear
swingarm.
The Scott system, named TC (Traction Control) will allow you to reduce by remote
control the rear wheel travel from 185mm to 110mm including a more progressive
spring rate but still offering a supple break away.
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 surface and will
offer perfect traction and higher speed while standing on the pedals.
In addition the patented Scott TWINLOC system will help you to lock-out the front fork
also on the fly with a remote control combined with the one of the rear shock.
* All measurements are done with Geometry Chip in LOW BB setting.

tWinLoc – remote controL Lever
The TWINLOC remote control lever is the evolution of the already outstanding
TRACLOC system of Scott.
While TRACLOC allowed the change on the Scott rear shocks Nude TC and Equalizer
2 between the Scott patented Lock-out, traction and full-mode on the fly from the
handlebar, the TWINLOC in combination with Equalizer 3 and a RockShox/SRAM fork
on Genius LT now allows also the remote control of the front fork to shift between
lock-out and open mode at the same time when you change the modes on the Scott
rear shox.
The 3 modes on the lever and suspension units are:
- Full Travel Mode: full travel rear, full travel front
- Traction Mode: traction mode rear, full travel front
- Lock-out Mode: lock-out rear, lock-out front
Scott offers as a spare part the TWINLOC lever for Equalizer 3 for RockShox/SRAM
fork with Scott article number 219562.
Important: You can only assemble the TWINLOC remote lever in “left side upward
position” on the handlebar.
You have 3 positions on the TWINLOC remote lever.
- most forward position: lock-out rear, lock-out front
- middle position: traction mode rear, full travel front
- most backward position: full travel rear, full travel front

FORK CABLE
Fork cable
2mm allen
Fix the cable with the 2mm allen screw on the barrel adjuster on the fork crown with a
tightening torque of 0.9Nm/ 8lb/in, cut the cable and secure it with a cable end-cap.
Please refer for this action also to the manual of SRAM/RockShox attached to the bike.
TIP:
To check for accurate cable tension, please try to move the plastic end cap of the cable
housing at the barrel adjuster on the remote lever. There should be “no-play” between
cap and barrel adjuster.
In case of “play” please turn the barrel adjuster clockwise until “no-play”.
