GENIUS-CONCEPT /
CHARACTERISTICS
KINEMATICS
SHOCK-TECHNOLOGY
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.
Ride Frequently!
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:

The Set-Up of the Genius Shock is shown in the
manual “Scott Genius Shock 07” 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.scott-sports.com as a pdf file. [2]

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]

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]

FRONT FORK SET UP PIVOT MAINTENANCE
For the set up of the front fork please use the fork specific
manual attached to the bike
The pivot and bearings on SCOTT Genius MC 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
with parts number 15.5.860.503.0.000.
In case of a change of the bearings or of the rear swingarm you should contact your local SCOTT dealer therefore you need special tools for disassembly and assembly.

WARRANTY
WARRANTY
Model __________________________
Year __________________________
Size __________________________
Frame _________________________
SCOTT bikes are made using the most innovative production and quality methods. They are equipped with
best components of well known parts suppliers.
Doing so SCOTT warrants its frames and swingarms
for five years (subject to compliance with maintenance
ranges, see below) and SCOTT forks (provided it is
a fork of SCOTT) for two years for defects in material
and/or workmanship in case of purchase of completely
assembled bikes.
This warranty of 5 years for the frames shall only be
granted in case once a year a maintenance service has
been effected according to maintenance requirements
as set forth in this manual by an authorised SCOTT
dealer.
The authorised SCOTT dealer shall confirm the effected
annual maintenance service by stamp and signature.
In case such an annual maintenance service has not
been effected the warranty of 5 years for the frame
shall be reduced to 3 years.
Costs for maintenance and service have to be born
by the owner of the SCOTT bike.
On High Octane the warranty period is limited to 2 years.
The warranty period starts at the day of purchase.
This warranty is limited to the first buyer, what means
the first person who uses the bike and only with the
use it was made for. Furthermore, this warranty is limited
to purchases via authorized SCOTT-dealers to the
exclusion of purchases via internet auctions.
In case of a warranty claim the decision to repair or to
replace the defective part is up to SCOTT. Non defective
parts will only be replaced at the guarantee’s own
expense.
Fair wear and tear is not covered by the warranty.
A complete list of all parts of wear and tear can be
found in the next chapter of this manual.
In addition, you will find at the end of this manual a
protocol for the handing over of the bike which will
remain in copy at the SCOTT dealer after acceptance
and signature of the consumer.
It is obligatory to show this protocol of handing over
together with the defective part in case of a warranty
claim given that it provides evidence of purchase.
Otherwise no warranty is granted.
In principle, this warranty is granted worldwide.
Claims must be made through an authorized dealer,
for information regarding the nearest dealer, write or
call this company or the national SCOTT distributor.
Normal wear, accident, neglect, abuse, improper
assembly, improper maintenance by other than an
authorized dealer or use of parts or devices not consistent with the use originally intended for the bicycle as
sold are not covered by this warranty.
Hereby SCOTT grants a voluntarily manufacturer’s warranty. Additional entitlements according to national
warrant of merchantability are reserved.
