GENIUS CONCEPT
The new Genius is the result of 2 years of research and development for on e of the
lightest trail/marathon bike frame set available on the market, hitting th e scale at
below 2300g (5lbs) includi ng the frame, FOX Nude /CTD shock and the u nique
TWINLOC remote control.
SCOTT’s focus was not only on light weight but al so on a durable and stiff frame with
an innovative suspension technology in combination with an optimized ki nematics of
the rear swingarm.
The combination of an optimized kinematics with an extraordinary suspension
technolog y closes the ga p between superlight d ual suspe nsion race bikes (e.g.
SCOTT Spark) and the new gene ration of all- mountain bikes (e.g. SCOT T Geniu s LT) .
Genius was designed for riders lo oking for a du al suspen ded trail an d marathon bike
offering a maximum rea r wheel travel of 150mm (27.5”)/130mm (29 ”).
SCOTT does not see frame and rear shock as single com ponents which are
assembled together on a bike, but as a con cept with all the se components working
together and offering an outrageous func tion by matching perf ectly.
The Geniu s Concept is based on a multi-pivot techn ology.
The damping performance was improved in comparison to the already famous
“old” Genius, and with reworking also the kinematics we were able to reach a better
progressio n in the end of the stroke/travel of the swingarm.
The SCOT T system, u sing the Nude shock, named TC (Traction C ontrol) will all ow
you to reduce by remote co ntrol the rear wh eel travel from 1 50mm (27.5”)/ 130mm
(29”) to 10 0mm (27.5”)/90 mm (29”) including a more progres sive spring rate but
still offering a supple b reak away. In addition the SAG is reduced and the geometry
gets steeper.
Some models of Geniu s use also the FOX C TD shock which offers i nstead of the
Traction Mode a Platform (Ride Mode) in between Lock-out Mod e and Descent Mode
No power will be lost and an optimum power transfer is guaranteed as the swingarm ,
in contrary to locked or autom atic-lockin g systems, c an follow the tra il surface and
will offer perfect traction an d higher speed while standing on the pedals.

TC SHOCK TECHNOLOGY/TWINLOC LEVERS
The hear t of the TC-System is the FOX Nude Shock mad e by FOX, offering three
functions which make this system possible.
The TWIN LOC XL remote control lever is the evolution of the already outstanding
TRACLOC system of SCOTT.
While TRACLOC allowed only th e change on the SCOT T TC rear shocks between
the SCOTT patented Lock-out, traction and full -mode on th e fly from the handleba r,
the TWIN LOC allows also the remote control of th e front fork to shift between
lock-out and o pen mode at the same time when you change the modes on the
SCOTT rear shox.
In combination with FOX 34 CTD o r FOX 32 CTD forks it is also possible to have a
platform mode on the fork.
The 3 modes of C TCD in combin ation with FOX Nude are:
- Climb Mode : lock-out rear, lock-out f ront
- Traction Mode: traction mode rear (incl. Ge ometry ch ange and re duced travel),
platform mode front
- Descent Mode: f ull travel rear (D escent), full travel f ront
The 3 modes of C TD in combi nation with the FOX C TD shock are:
- Climb Mode : lock-out rear, lock-out f ront
- Ride Mode: plat form (Ride) mode rear, platform mo de front
- Descent Mode: f ull travel rear (D escent), full travel f ront
Therefore SCOT T offers 2 diffe rent TWI NLOC levers with following fork /rear shock
combinations:
- FOX Nude with different rolls for FOX CT D fork and Roc kShox DNA 3 fo rk
(SCOTTA rticle number: 23 0097 )
- FOX CTD with different rolls for FOX CTD fork and Rock Shox DNA 3 for k
(SCOTTA rticle number: 23 0098)
Please note that the FOX CTD rear shock does n ot offer a traction mode, but a
platform mode. In contrary to FOX Nude th e air-chamber volume of the p ositive
chamber remains the same throughout the different modes
IMPORTANT!
You can only assem ble the TWINLOC remote lever in “left side upward positi on” on
the handlebar.

You have 3 positions of the TWINLOC remote le ver.
1. LOCK OUT MODE:
the shock is locked; climbing on asphalt roads is now possible without any power
loss. Simultaneous a blow-off-system prevents the shock being damage d in case the
rider did not open the syste m while crossing obstacles.
2. TRACTION/RIDE MODE:
For Traction: by reducing the internal chambe r volume inside the shock the travel of
the shock will be reduced to around 80% (approx . 120/104mm) the charac teristic of
the air spring gets harder, the SAG is shorter and the geom etry steep er. This results
in climbing without “bobbing” an d offers still optimum tra ction of the rear wheel.
For Ride: by adding a platfor m on the compre ssion damping system the shock will
not bounce while standing on the pedals
3. DESCENT MODE:
full travel of 150/130mm (27. 5 ”/2 9”)
You will find the following positions o n the remote lever:
For the assem bly of the remote control of the front fork lock-out 2 different cable
rolls which are changeable are existing .
The diffe rent roll for the p ull of the fork re mote cable c an be changed within few
minutes to adapt the lever to your fork m odel/brand.
You will see on the downside of the roll the indication of th e fork brand or the
fork model.
SCOTT offers 2 different TWINLOC levers with following fork/rear shock
combinations:
- FOX Nude with different rolls for FOX CT D fork and Roc kShox DNA 3 fo rk (SCOT T
Article number: 230097)
- FOX CTD with different rolls for FOX CTD fork and Rock Shox DNA 3 for k (SCOT T
Article number: 230098)
Please ki ndly note t hat the c able roll of a RockS hox DNA3 or FOX C TD fork-lever
is not inte rchang eable with the reg ular rolls of 2 step forks. You nee d to use
another lever!
For more details please contact your au thorized SCOTT d eal er.

ASSEMBLY OF THE REMOTE CABLE
IMPORTANT!
Please make sure the lockout of SRAM/ RockShox or FOX fork is activated after
transpor t correctly. Therefore please compress fork 5-10 times before following the
manual on re mote cable installatio n and adjustment.
The lever should show on the down side of the ca ble roll the brand name of th e fork
you are going to use. Please do n ot try to use a RockShox roll with a FOX fork or
vice versa .
1. To assemble the cable please bring
the lever into the Descent Mode,
push the cable into the levereyelet as shown on drawing below,
push it throug h the pre-cut cable
housing an d fix it at the assembly
unit on top of the rig ht side of the
fork crown.
2. Fix the cable with th e 2mm allen screw on the barrel
adjuster on the fork crown with a tightening torque of
0.9Nm /8 lb/in, cut the cable and secure it with a ca ble
end-cap. Please refer for this ac tion also to the manual
of SRAM/ RockShox or FOX attached to the bike.
TIP:
To check for accurate ca ble tension , please tr y to move the plastic end cap of the
cable hou sing at the barrel adjuster on the remote lever. There should be “no-play”
between cap and barre l adjuster. In case of “play” please turn the b arrel adju ster
clockwise until “no -pl ay”.

2. Mount the sho ck pump with its adaptor on the valve
3. Please take into acco unt that it takes some air pres sure from inside the shock to
drive the indic ator on the pum p. Make sure to balance at least this air loss when
you make a check of the air pressure of the shock . Pls also note that the indic ators
of shock pum ps have a tolerance of max. 10%
4. Please use the FOX iRD App available at the iTunes App store with following link:

SAG
The SAG should b e 14mm (27.5”/650B) respectively 12.5 mm (29”) on the shock
piston .
To check the adjustm ent, please follow as shown below:
1. sit on the bike, put your feet on the pedal
2. put your feet bac k on the ground and stand over the bike without b ouncing th e
bike during this action
3. check if the o-ring (S9) on the sho ck piston (S8) ha s a distance of 14/12. 5mm to
the main dus t wiper/seal between shock housing and pis ton.
- if the distance between the o-ring and th e main dust wi per/seal is 14/12.5mm, the
air pressure is matching to your we ight
- if the distance between the o-ring and th e main dust wi per/seal is less than
14/12. 5mm, the air pressu re of the air chamber is too hig h and should be carefu lly
reduced by using the bleed knob of the sho ck pump until the distance is
14/12.5mm.
- if the distance between the main dust wipe r/seal is bigger than 14/ 12. 5mm the air
pressure of the air chamber is too low and should be increased by using the shock
pump until the distance is 1 4/12.5mm.
SET-UP OF REBOUND FOX NUDE OR FOX CTD SHOCK
“Rebou nd” desc ribes the speed the sho ck comes back to its original length af ter
absorbing an obstacle.
By using the rebound adjuster knob (S 4) you can adjust the rebound step by ste p.
Please refer to the following instruction:
Ride your bike of f a pavement (remain in the saddle) and check how many times it
bounces.
- If it bounces 1-2 time s, the set up is good.
- If it bounces more than 3 times the rebound is too fast. Turn the knob 1-2 “clicks”
clockwise
- If it does not boun ce the rebound is too slow. Turn the knob 1-2 “clicks” counter
clockwise.
IMPORTANT!
Note that you have to mount the FOX Nude Shock always as shown b elow.
Mounting th e rear shock i n a different position ca n cause severe d amage to the
frame, the linkage levers and the rear shock.
Same for the FOX CTD on some of th e Genius models.
IMPORTANT!
After a dismantlement of the rear shock, both fixing bolts should be tightened with a
tightening torq ue of 10Nm/88in-lbs.
If this is not done correctly the rear shock can be damaged.
