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.
