GENIUS CONCEPT

Genius is the result of 2 years of research and development for the lightest mountain
bike frame set available on the market to be used for marathon, trail and long distance
riding, hitting the scale at below 2250 grams including the frame, Scott/DT Equalizer 2
shock.

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 bikes (e.g. Scott Spark)
and the new generation of all mountain bikes (e.g. Scott Ransom).

Genius was designed for riders looking for a dual suspended marathon and tour/long
distance bike offering a maximum rear wheel travel of 150mm.

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 Scott system, named TC (Traction Control) will allow you to reduce by remote
control the rear wheel travel from 150mm to 95mm 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.

The TWINLOC remote control lever is the evolution of the already outstanding
TRACLOC system of Scott.

While TRACLOC allows 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 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 different TWINLOC levers with following fork/rear shock combinations:

- Equalizer2 with adapters for SRAM /RockShox fork and FOX fork/DT Swiss fork
( Scott Article number: 216350)

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

Press to release

Change the modes by pushing the lever with your fingers frontward and release them
by tapping the release button (one mode per push/release)

For the assembly of the remote control of the front fork lock-out 2 different cable
systems are existing.

The different roll for the pull of the fork remote cable can be changed within few
minutes to adapt the lever to your fork model/brand.

You will see on the downside of the roll the indication of fork brand.

For the different parts of the TWINLOC lever mentioned in the following instruction
please refer to the drawing with parts names below:

Please note that the cable for the rear shock is ALWAYS the upper cable on the lever
as shown in drawing below.
