GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL DATA GENIUS LT / PLUS

GENIUS LT CONCEPT

The new Genius LT is the result of 2 years of research and develop ment for one of the
lightest all- mountain bike frame set available on the market, hitting the scale at below
2550gr ams (5.60lbs) including the f rame, FOX Nude/FOX Float CTD shock and the unique
TWINLOC XL remote control.

SCOT T’s focus was not only on light weight but also o n a durable and stiff fra me with an
innovative suspension technology in combination with an optimized kinematic s of the rear
swingarm.

The combination of an optimized kinematics with an extraordinary suspe nsion technology
closes the gap between ver y light dual suspension trail bikes (e.g. SCOTT Ge nius) and the
new generation of freeride bikes (e.g. SCOTT Vo lta ge FR).

Genius LT was designed for riders looking for a dual suspended all mountain and trail bike
offering a maximum rear wh eel travel of 170mm.

SCOT T does n ot see frame a nd rear shock as single comp onents which are assembled
together on a bike, but as a conce pt with all these components working together and
offering an outrageo us functio n by matching per fectly.

The Geniu s LT Concept is based on a multi-pivot technology.

The dampin g perform ance was improved in comparison to the already famous “old” Genius
LT, and with reworking also the kine matics we were abl e to reach a better progression in the
end of the stroke/tr avel of the swingarm.

The SCOT T system , using the FOX Nude shock, will allow you to reduce by remote control
the rear whee l travel from 170 mm to 136mm including a more progressive spring rate but
still offering a supple bre ak awa y.

Some models of Genius LT use also the FOX CTD shock which offers instead of the Traction
Mode a Platform (Ride Mo de) in between Clim b Mode and D escent Mod e.

No power will be lost and an optimum power transfe r is guarantee d as the swingarm, in
contrary to lo cked or automatic -locking systems, can follow the trail sur face and will offer
perfec t traction and higher spe ed while standing on the pedals.

TC SHOCK TECHNOLOGY/TWINLOC LEVERS

The hear t of the TC-System is the FOX Nude S hock made by FOX, offering th ree functions
which make this system possible.

The TWINLOC XL remote control lever is the evolution of the a lready outs tanding TR ACLOC
system of SCOTT.

While TRACLOC allowed only the ch ange on the S COTT TC rear shocks between the
SCOT T 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 betwe en lock-out and
open mode at the same time when you chang e the modes o n the SCOT T 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 : lock-out rea r, lock-out front

- Traction Mode: tra ction mode re ar (incl. Geometry change and reduced travel), plat form
mode front

- Descent Mo de: full travel rear (Descent), full travel front

The 3 modes of CTD in combin ation with the FOX CTD sh ock are:

- Climb Mode : lock-out rea r, lock-out front

- Ride Mode: platform (Ri de) mode rear, platform mode front

- Descent Mo de: full travel rear (Descent), full travel front

Therefore SCOTT offers 2 dif ferent TW INLOC levers with following fork/rear shock
combinations:

- FOX Nude with different rolls for FOX CTD fork and Rock Shox DNA 3 fork
(SCOTT Article nu mber: 23 0097 )

- FOX CTD with diffe rent rolls for FOX CTD fork and RockS hox DNA 3 fork (SC OTTArticle
number: 230098)

Please note that th e FOX CTD rear shock does not of fer a traction mode, but a platform
mode. In co ntrary to FOX Nude the air-chamber volume of the positive chambe r remains the
same throughout the different modes

IMPORTANT!

You can only assemble the TWI NLOC remote lever in “left side upward position” on the
hand le ba r.

You have 3 positions of the TWINLOC remote lev er.

1. LOCK O UT MODE:
the shock is lo cked; climbin g on asphalt roa ds is now possible without any power loss.
Simultane ous a blow-off-system prevent s the shock be ing damaged in case the rider did
not open the system while crossin g obstacles.

2. TRAC TIO N/RIDE MODE:
For Traction: by reducin g the internal ch amber volum e inside the sh ock the travel of the
shock will be reduced to around 80% (approx. 136mm) the characteristic of the air spring
gets harde r, the SAG is shorter and th e geometr y steeper. This resu lts in climbin g without
“bobbing ” and offers still optimum traction of the rea r wheel.

For Ride: by adding a platform on the compression damping system the shock will not
bounce whil e standing o n the pedals

3. DESCENT MODE:
full travel of 170 mm

You will find the following positions on the remote lever:

For the assem bly of the remote control of the front fork lock-out 2 dif ferent cable rolls which
are changeable are existing.

The different roll for the pull of the fork remote ca ble 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 fo rk model.

ASSEMBLY OF THE REMOTE CABLE

IMPORTANT!

Please make sure the lockout of SR AM/RockShox or FOX fork is ac tivated after tra nsport
correctly. Therefore please compress fork 5-10 times befo re following the ma nual on remote
cable installation and a djustment.

The lever should show on the downside of the cable roll the brand name of the fork you a re
going to use. Please do not try to use a RockShox roll with a FOX fork or vice versa.

1. To assemb le the cable please bring the
lever into the Desce nt Mode, push the
cable into the lever-eyelet as shown
on drawing below, push it through the
pre-cut c able 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 c able end-cap. Please refer
for this action also to the manua l of SRAM/ RockShox or FOX
attached to the bike.

TIP:

To check for accurate cable tension, p lease try to move the p lastic end cap of the cable
housing at the barrel adjuster on the remote lever. There should be “no -play” between cap
and barrel a djuster. In case of “play” please turn the barrel adjuster clock wise until “no -p lay ”.

3. tighten the cabl e and fix the cablefixing screw
(S7) by turning it cl ockwise with a 2mm allen
key and a max. tightening torque of 1.6Nm.

4. Check that the handlebar lever
is in the traction position. Refer
to the following diagrams .

5. cut the cable a pprox. 20mm away from the
remote wheel . Fix it by squeezing it with pliers.

6. push a cable end -cap on th e cable until it
touches the end of the cable. Fix it by squeezin g
it with pliers.

BASIC SET-UP OF THE TWINLOC REMOTE CONTROL OF FOX
CTD SHOCK

The assemb ly of the remote cab le and the setup of the FOX CTD rear shock is very similar to
the abovementioned asse mbly and setup of the FOX Nu de.

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

For the set-up of the shock we recommend to use a shock p ump with a scale u p to 20
bars/30 0 psi with a special air valve conne ctor preventing from air getting away while
removing the pump from the shock valve, this will result in an exact air pressure.

Please note that air will flow into the hose and indicator when counterch ecking the air
pressure, so you have to set up again the recommende d pressure af ter this action.

Make sure to balan ce at least this air loss when you make a check of the air pressure of the
shock. Please also note that th e indicators of shock pumps have a tolerance of max . 10%.

SET-UP GENIUS LT WITH FOX NUDE OR FOX CTD SHOCK

The Set-Up of th e FOX Nude or FOX CTD Shock can be easy done within a few minutes.

IMPORTANT!

For all adjustments of the air spring the rem ote lever has to be in position “alltravel ”

To adjust the air pressu re of the air chamber of the FOX Nude o r FOX CTD Shock please
refer to the following instruction:

1. Remove the valve cap of the va lve (S5) located on the shock housing (S3 ).

2. Mount the sh ock pump with its adaptor on the valve

3. Please take into acco unt that it takes so me air pressure from inside the shock to drive the
indicator on the pump. Make sure to balance at le ast this air loss when you make a che ck
of the air pressu re of the shock. Pls also note that the indicators of shock pumps have a
tolerance of max. 10%

4. Please use the FOX iRD App available at the iTunes Ap p store with following lin k:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fox-intelligent-ride-dyna mics/id549 035102?mt=8&ign­mpt=uo%3D4)

5. After downloading the app o n your mobile gear please follow the steps shown in th e app
and inflate the shock accordin g to the air pressure indicate d.

6. When you reached the needed pressure remove the p ump and put the valve cap on
the valve.

•

SAG

The SAG should be 18mm on the shock pis ton.

To check the adjustment, please fo llow as shown below:

1. sit on the bike, put your feet on the pedal

2. put your feet back on the groun d and stand over th e bike without bo uncing the bike
during this action

3. check if the o- ring (S9) on the shock piston (S8) has a distance of 18mm to the main dust
wiper/seal between sh ock housing and pisto n.

- if the distance between the o-ring an d the main dust wiper/seal is 18mm, the air pressure
is matching to your weight

- if the distance between the o-ring an d the main dust wiper/seal is less than 18mm, the
air pressure of th e air chambe r is too high and should be caref ully reduced by using the
bleed knob of the shock pu mp until the distance is 18mm.

- if the distance between the main dust wiper/seal is bigger than 18mm the air pressure
of the air chamber is too low and should be increased by using the sh ock pump until the
distance is 18mm.

ENGLISHENGLISH

IMPORTANT!

After a disma ntlement of the rear shock, b oth fixing bolts should be tightened with a
tightening torque of 10Nm/8 8in-lbs.

If this is not don e correctly the re ar shock can be damaged.

•

SET-UP OF OTHER SHOCK MODELS

SCOTT str ongly reco mmends using only the FOX Nude (FOX CTD shock) with the
Genius LT bike, as we designe d both part s for a perfe ct matching combination with a linear

suspension rate.

Also on those sh ock models the SAG should be 18mm.

Other Shock Mode ls on Genius LT

If you want to use a different rear sho ck model tha n the one originally on the bike, please
make sure that the shock will not in any position hit the frame and cau se a damage to
the frame.

Please follow th e instruction below:

- Please make sure that the rear sho ck or its accessory par ts do not touch th e frame whe n
mounting or suspending.

- For doing so rel ease the air/remove the coil, install the shock and compress the shock
completel y.

- If the shock touches the frame while doing so, do not use this shock in order to avoid
damage to frame, swingarm or shock.

•

SET-UP OF REBOUND FOX NUDE OR FOX CTD SHOCK

“Rebou nd” describes the speed the shock comes back to its original length after absorbing
an obstacle.

By using the reb ound adjuster knob (S4) you ca n adjust the rebound step by s tep.

Please refer to the following instruction:

Ride your bike of f a pavement (remain in th e 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 th e FOX
Nude Shock always as shown be low.

Mounting the rear shock in a different
