Shock-Technology
OWNERS MANUAL
Genius is the result of 2 years of research and development not only looking for a lightweight frame but also
for an innovative suspension technology in combination
with an optimized kinematics of the rear swingarm.
The combination of an optimized kinematics with a
revolutionary suspension technology closes the gap between hardtail bikes and the new generation of full
suspended bikes with automatic lockout systems which
are already on the market and which are still a compromise between suspended and non suspended bikes.
Genius was designed for riders and racers looking for a
“non-bobbing” hardtail-like power transfer to the rear
wheel but are not willing to give up the benefits of a full
suspended bike.
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.
This system, named TC (Traction Control), is used in all
Genius models.

Genius-Concept / Characteristics
The Genius Concept is based on a new designed multipivot technology having no fixed swingarm pivot but
moving on a virtual pivot line.
The more the weight of the rider gets on the rear wheel
(going uphill) and with this the SAG (negative travel)
getting bigger, the more the pivot is moving towards
the small chainring.
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.
Scott TC-System eliminates completely the troublesome bobbing.
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.
The heart of the TC-System is the new developed
and innovative Scott Genius Shock, offering three
functions which make this system possible.
By using the remote lever you can choose between
following functions:
1. ALL TRAVEL MODE: full travel of 125mm
2. TRACTION MODE: by reducing the air volume
inside the shock the travel of the shock will be reduced to around 60%, the characteristic of the air
spring gets harder. This results in climbing without
“bobbing” and offers still optimum traction of the
rear wheel.
3. 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. [1]
You will find the following positions
on the remote lever:

To enable you to participate in long distance races with
the Genius MC, Scott offers a special designed bottle
cage with which you can take 2 bottles of 0.7l with you
beginning from frame size Medium.
In addition this bottle cage can also be used instead of
a standard one on the downtube and makes it easier to
carry your bike on the shoulder in those parts of a long
distance race which can be only passed by walking.
This bottle cage can be ordered with parts number
15.1.804.401.0.000 at your local Scott dealer. [3]
OWNERS MANUAL
The Set-Up of the Genius Shock is shown in the
manual “Scott Genius Shock 03” attached to this bike
and can be done within a few minutes.
In case you want even more detailed figures of air
pressure or tuning hints, you can download a program
under www.scottusa.com as a pdf file. [2]
Set-Up Genius MC Bottle-Cages Scott Smart Cable Routing Mechanics hint
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. [5]
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.
On the left side of the downtube you will find the cable
housings of the rear brake and the TC-system, on the
right side for the rear derailleur. [4]
