GENIUS CONCEPT
The new Genius is the result of 2 years of research and development for one of the
lightest trail/marathon bike frame set available on the market, hitting the scale at below
2300 grams (5 lbs) including the frame, Scott Nude 2 /DT M3 shock and the unique
TWINLOC XL remote control.
Scott’s focus was not only on lightweight but also on a durable and stiff 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 race bikes (e.g. Scott
Spark) and the new generation of all-mountain bikes (e.g. Scott Genius LT).
Genius was designed for riders looking for a dual suspended trail and marathon bike
offering a maximum rear wheel travel of 150mm (27.5”)/130mm (29”).
Scott does not see frame and rear shock 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 Concept is based on a multi-pivot technology.
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
progression in the end of the stroke/travel of the swingarm.
The Scott system, using the Nude 2 shock, named TC (Traction Control) will allow you
to reduce by remote control the rear wheel travel from 150 (27.5”)/130 (29”)mm to 100
(27.5”)/90(29”)mm including a more progressive spring rate but still offering a supple
break away.
Some models of Genius use also the DT M3 shock which offers instead of the Traction
Mode a Platform (Ride Mode) in between Lock-out Mode and Descent Mode
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.

TC SHOCK TECHNOLOGY/TWINLOC XL LEVERS
The heart of the TC-System is the Scott Nude 2 Shock made by DT Swiss, offering
three functions which make this system possible.
The TWINLOC XL remote control lever is the evolution of the already outstanding
TRACLOC system of Scott.
While TRACLOC allowed only the change on the Scott TC rear shocks between the
Scott patented Lock-out, traction and full-mode on the fly from the handlebar, the
TWINLOC 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.
In combination with FOX 34 CTD (27.5”)/ FOX 32 CTD (29”) forks it is also possible to
have a platform mode on the fork.

The 3 modes of LTD in combination with Nude 2 are:
- Lock-out Mode : lock-out rear, lock-out front
- Traction Mode: traction mode rear, platform mode front
- Descent Mode: full travel rear (Descent), full travel front
The 3 modes of LRD in combination with the DT M3 shock are:
- Lock-out Mode : lock-out rear, lock-out front
- Ride Mode: platform(Ride) mode rear, platform mode front
- Descent Mode: full travel rear (Descent), full travel front
Therefore Scott offers 2 different TWINLOC XL levers with following fork/rear shock
combinations:
- Nude 2 with different rolls for FOX CTD fork and RockShox DNA 3 fork (Scott Article
number: 230097)
- DT M3 with different rolls for FOX CTD fork and RockShox DNA 3 fork (Scott Article
number: 230098)
Please note that the DT Swiss M3 rear shock does not offer a traction mode, but a
platform mode. In contrary to Nude 2 the air-chamber volume of the positive chamber
remains the same throughout the different modes
Important:
You can only assemble the TWINLOC XL remote lever in “left side upward position” on
the handlebar.

For the assembly of the remote control of the front fork lock-out 2 different
changeable cable rolls 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 the fork brand or the fork
model.
You have 3 positions of the TWINLOC XL remote lever.
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 damaged in case the rider
did not open the system while crossing obstacles.
2. TRACTION/RIDE MODE:
For Traction: by reducing the internal chamber volume inside the shock the travel of
the shock will be reduced to around 60% (approx. 100/90mm) the characteristic of
the air spring gets harder. This results in climbing without “bobbing” and offers still
optimum traction of the rear wheel.
For Ride: by adding a platform on the compression damping system the shock will not
bounce while standing on the pedals
3. DESCENT MODE:
full travel of 150/130mm (27.5”/29”)
You will find the following positions on the remote lever:
Scott offers 2 different TWINLOC XL levers with following fork/rear shock
combinations:
- Nude 2 with different rolls for FOX CTD fork and RockShox DNA 3 fork (Scott Article
number: 230097)
- DT M3 with different rolls for FOX CTD fork and RockShox DNA 3 fork (Scott Article
number: 230098)
Please kindly note that the cable roll of a RockShox DNA3 or FOX CTD fork-lever is
not interchangeable with the regular rolls of 2 step forks. You need to use another
lever!
For more details please contact your authorized Scott dealer.

To change the rolls to match another fork brand pls follow the drawings below:
ASSEMBLY OF THE REMOTE CABLE
Important:
Please make sure the lockout of SRAM/RockShox or FOX fork is activated after
transport correctly. Therefore please compress fork 5-10 times before following the
manual on remote cable installation and adjustment.
The lever should show on the downside of the cable roll the brand name of the fork
you are going to use. Please do not 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 lever-eyelet as shown on drawing below, push it through the pre-cut
cable housing and fix it at the assembly unit on top of the right side of the fork crown.
2. Fix the cable with the 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 cable
end-cap. Please refer for this action also to the manual of SRAM/RockShox or FOX
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 “noplay” between cap and barrel adjuster.
In case of “play” please turn the barrel
adjuster clockwise until “no-play”.
