GENIUS LT CONCEPT
The new Genius LT is the result of 2 years of research and development for one of the
lightest all-mountain bike frame set available on the market, hitting the scale at below
2550grams (5.60lbs) including the frame, FOX Nude/FOX Float CTD 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 very light dual suspension trail 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 and trail
bike offering a maximum rear wheel travel of 170mm.
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 LT Concept is based on a multi-pivot technology.
The damping performance was improved in comparison to the already famous “old”
Genius LT, 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 FOX Nude shock, will allow you to reduce by remote
control the rear wheel travel from 170 mm to 136mm including a more progressive
spring rate but still offering a supple break away.
Some models of Genius LT use also the FOX CTD 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.

BIKE OWNER’S MANUAL
ENGLISH
The heart of the TC-System is the FOX Nude Shock made by FOX, offering three
functions which make this system possible.
The TWINLOC 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 Climb, traction and descent 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 forks it is also possible to have a platform mode on
the fork.
The 3 modes of CTCD in combination with FOX Nude are:
- Climb Mode : climb rear, climb front
- Traction Mode: traction mode rear (incl. Ge ometry change and reduced travel),
platform mode front
- Descent Mode: full travel rear (Descent), full travel front
The 3 modes of CTD in combination with the FOX CTD shock are:
- Climb Mode : climb rear, climb 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 levers with following fork/rear shock
combinations:
- FOX Nude with different roll s for FOX CTD fork and RockShox DNA 3 fork (SCOTT
Article number: 230097)
- FOX CTD with different rolls for FOX CTD fork and Ro ckShox DNA 3 fork (SCOTT
Article number: 230098)
Please note that the FOX CTD rear shock does not offer a traction mode, but a
platform mode. In contrary to FOX Nude the air-chamber volume of the positive
chamber remains the same throughout the different modes
IMPORTANT:
You can only assemble the TWINLOC remote lever in “left side upward position” on
the handlebar.
SHOCK TECHNOLOGY
You have 3 positions of the TWINLOC remote lever.
1. CLIMB MOD E: the shock is nearly locked, climbing on asp halt roads is now
possible without any power loss . Simultaneous a blow-of f-system prevents the
shock bein g damaged in c ase the rider di d not open the system while crossing
obstacles.
2. TRACTION/Ride MODE:
For Traction: by reducing the internal chamber volum e inside the sho ck the travel
of the shock will be reduced to arou nd 80% (approx. 136 mm) the characteristic
of the air sprin g gets harder, the SAG is sh orter and the g eometry steeper. This
results in climbing without “ bobbing” a nd offers still optimum traction of the rear
wheel.
For Ride: by adding a platform on the compressio n damping system the shock will
not bounce while standing on the pedals
3. DESCENT MODE: full travel of 170mm
You will find the following positions on the remote lever:
For the assembly of the remote control of the front fork lock-out 2 different
cable rolls which are changeable 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.

SCOTT offers 2 different TWINLOC levers with following fork/rear shock
combinations:
- FOX Nude with different roll s for FOX CTD fork and RockShox DNA 3 fork (SCOTT
Article number: 230097)
- FOX CTD with different rolls for FOX CTD fork and Ro ckShox 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
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 “no-play” between
cap and barrel adjuster. In case of
“play” please turn the barrel adjuster
clockwise until “no-play”.
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.

BASIC SET-UP OF THE TWINLOC REMOTE
CONTROL OF FOX CTD SHOCK
The assembly of the remote cable and the setup of the FOX CTD rear shock
is very similar to the abovementioned assembly and setup of the FOX Nude.
For more details on the FOX CTD please follow the details shown in the
manuals of FOX attached to this bike
RECOMMENDED TOOLS FOR THE SHOCK
SET-UP
Please note that air will flow into the hose and indicator when counterchecking
the air pressure, so you have to set up again the recommended pressure after
this action.
Make sure to balance at least this air loss when you make a check of the air
pressure of the shock. Please also note that the indicators of shock pumps
have a tolerance of max. 10%.
For the set-up of the shock we recommend to use a shock pump with a scale
up to 20 bars/300 psi with a special air valve connector preventing from air
getting away while removing the pump from the shock valve, this will result in
an exact air pressure.
SET-UP GENIUS WITH FOX NUDE OR FOX CTD
SHOCK
The Set-Up of the FOX Nude or FOX CTD Shock can be easy done within a
few minutes.
IMPORTANT:
For all adjustments of the air spring the remote lever has to be in position
“Descent”
To adjust the air pressure of the air chamber of the FOX Nude or FOX CTD Shock
please refer to the following instruction:
1. remove the valve cap of the valve (S5) located on the shock housing (S3).
2. mount the shock pump with its adaptor on the valve
3. Please take into account that it takes some air pressure from inside the shock
to drive the indicator on the pump. 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
indicators of shock pumps have a tolerance of max. 10%
4. pump the recommended pressure into the shock. Please use the FOX iRD App
(available at itunes App store with following link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/
app/fox-intelligent-ride-dynamics/id549035102?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4)
5. After downloading the app on your mobile gear please follow the steps shown
in the app and inflate the shock according to the air pressure indicated.
6. When you reached the needed pressure remove the pump and put the valve
cap on the valve

The SAG should b e 18mm on the shock piston.
To check the adjustm ent, please fo llow as shown below:
1. sit on the bike, put your feet on the peda l
2. put your feet back on the ground and stand over th e bike without bouncing the
bike during this action
3. check if the o -ring (S9) on the shock piston (S8) has a distance of 18 mm to the
main dust wiper/seal between shock housing and piston.
- if the distance betwee n the o-ring an d the main dust wiper/seal is 18mm, the air
pressure is matching to your weight
- if the distance betwee n the o-ring an d the main dust wiper/seal is less than 18 mm,
the air pressure of the air chamber is too high and should be carefully reduced by
using the ble ed knob of the shock pump until th e distance is 18mm.
- if the distance betwee n the main dust wiper/seal is bigger than 1 8mm the air
pressure of the air chamber is too low and should b e increased by usi ng the shock
pump until the distance is 18mm.
SAG
SET-UP OF REBOUND FOX NUDE OR FOX CTD
SHOCK
“Rebound” describes the speed the shock comes back to its original length
after absorbing an obstacle.
By using the rebound adjuster knob (S4) you can adjust the rebound step by step.
Page 11

GENIUS LT
BIKE OWNER’S MANUAL
ENGLISH
Please refer to the following instruction:
Ride your bike off a pavement (remain in the saddle) and check how many times
it bounces.
- If it bounces 1-2 times, 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 bounce 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 below.
Mounting the rear shock in a different position can cause severe damage to
the frame, the linkage levers and the rear shock.
Same for the FOX CTD on some of the Genius LT models.
IMPORTANT:
After a dismantlement of the rear shock, both fixing bolts should be tightened with a tightening torque of 10Nm/88in-lbs.
If this is not done correctly the rear shock can be damaged.
SCOTT strongly recommends using only the FOX Nude (FOX CTD shock)
with the Genius LT bike, as we designed both parts for a perfect matching
combination with a linear suspension rate.
Also on those shock models the SAG should be 18mm.
Other Shock Models on Genius LT
If you want to use a different rear shock model than the one originally on the
bike, please make sure that the shock will not in any position hit the frame
and cause a damage to the frame.
Please follow the instruction below:
Please make sure that the rear shock or its accessory parts do not touch the
frame when mounting or suspending.
For doing so release the air/remove the coil, install the shock and compress
the shock completely.
If the shock touches the frame while doing so, do not use this shock in order
to avoid damage to frame, swingarm or shock.

Tech Info Chart before mentioned.
The pivot and bearings on SCOTT Genius LT are extremely easy to maintain.
An external treatment with a grease spray after every bike wash is all you have
to do. We do not recommend heavy grease sprays since these will leave a film
on the parts which is difficult to remove. We recommend the same for the chain
also.
If you have to change the bearings you can order them included in a service
kit at your local SCOTT dealer or buy them with international parts number as
shown above in the specs list in a hardware store.
In case of a change of the bearings or of the rear swingarm you should contact
your local SCOTT dealer as you need special tools for disassembly and assembly.
Please note that for the assembly of
185 and 200mm rotors you might need
adapters/washers between the PM port
on the frame and the brake calliper.
For 185mm rotor diameter you will
need 2 red anodized spacers that can
