TRACTION CONTROLFUNCTIONS
GENIUS TC SHOCK AND
REMOTE CONTROL LEVER
The heart of the TC-System is the newly developed and
innovative Scott Genius TC 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 (Genius
MC) resp. 90mm (Genius RC / Genius Contessa).
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.
Simultaneously a blow-off-system prevents the shock
being damaged in case the rider did not open the system
while crossing obstacles.
You will find following positions on the remote lever:

In the drawing of the shock and remote lever, shown
below, you will see the parts indicated with numbers
which will be used in the manual for the adjustment
and set-up. [2] [3]

BASIC SET-UP OF THE REMOTE
CONTROL OF GENIUS TC SHOCK PLEASE NOTE
1.Put the remote lever (L1) to position “lock-out”. [1]
2. Fix the remote control cable (L2) with the cable fixation
screw (S8) using a 3mm allen key (tightening torque:
3 Nm) on the lock out lever (S9). [3]
3.Put the remote lever now to position “Traction
Mode”. [1]
4.Fix the cable clamping screw (S10) using a 3mm allen
key (tightening torque 3Nm) on the traction mode lever
(S11). [4]

5.When putting now the remote lever to position “All
Travel” the cable will pull the traction mode lever downward and the shock will offer now the full travel. Check
now the set-up for perfect function of remote lever and
shock
6.In case you want to fine-tune the brake-away power
of the remote lever, you can do this by using a 2mm
allen key and by turning the allen screw (L4). In case
you want to readjust the tension of the remote control
cable you can do this by using the tension screw (L3).

Please clean regularly after riding off-road the shock
piston (S12) and all other parts in motion of the shock
with a soft and wet cloth to prevent from excessive
wear and tear.
RECOMMANDED TOOLS FOR
THE SHOCK SET-UP
For the set-up of the shock we recommend to use
the tools listed below:
- 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 and granting exact air pressure.
-Therefore we recommend the Scott Shock Pump
which you can order at your local Scott-Dealer
with parts number 15.1.834.208.0.000
- the SAG-Boy on the back of this manual

SET-UP OF POSITIVE AIR
CHAMBER GENIUS TC SHOCK
SET-UP OF NEGATIVE AIR
CHAMBER GENIUS TC SHOCK
IMPORTANT:
For all adjustments of the air spring
the lockout lever has to be in position
“all travel”.
The positive air chamber contains the air-spring you
“sit-on” while riding. [7]
To adjust the air pressure of the positive chamber of
the Scott Genius Shock please refer to the following
instruction:
1. Remove the valve cap of the black valve (S6) located
on the Piggy-Back (S3).
2. Mount the shock pump with its adaptor on the valve
3. Pump the recommended pressure into the Piggy-Back.
On the housing of the Piggy-Back you will find a table
showing in the black colored areas the recommended
air pressure of the positive chamber according to the
rider’s weight.
4. When you reached the needed pressure remove the
pump and put the valve cap on the valve.
The negative air chamber contains the air-spring
influencing the brake-away and characteristic while
absorbing shocks. A too high brake-away can cause
an non-secure and uncomfortable ride. [8]
To adjust the air pressure of the negative chamber of the
Scott Genius Shock please refer to the following instruction:
1. Remove the cap of the silver valve (S7) located on the
shock housing (S4).
2. Mount the shock pump with its adaptor on the valve.
3. Pump the recommended pressure into the shock housing. On the housing of the piggy-back you will find a
table showing in the silver colored areas the recommended air pressure of the negative chamber according
to the rider’s weight.
4. When you reached the needed pressure remove the
pump and put the valve cap on the valve.
We recommend to make sure that the pressure balance
between positive and negative chamber follows the
recommendations shown on the piggy-back.
Not doing so may cause a loss in performance or comfort
or may result in damage of the shock.
After adjusting positive and negative chamber according
to the rider’s weight you can double check by using the
SAG-Boy, which is on the back of the manual, if the SAG
(negative travel) is well adjusted.
The negative travel is important when crossing grooves
or holes on the trail.
If the bike is well adjusted the rear wheel and the swingarm will roll through the groove without the mainframe
moving.
The SAG should be 15-20% of the travel for race oriented
riders and 20-25% of the travel for comfort oriented
riders.
The SAG-Boy indicates the recommended eye-toeye distance of the shock bolts of the different
Genius models.
To check the adjustment, please follow as shown
below:
1. Sit on the bike, put your feet on the pedal. [9]
2. Ask a second person, to put the color beam of
the SAG-Boy, recommended for your bike model,
aside the eye-to-eye distance of the shock bolts.
3. If the distance between the bolts is corresponding to the length of the color beam, the air pressure is matching to your weight
4. If the distance between the bolts is shorter
than the length of the color beam, the air pressure
of the positive chamber is too high and should be
carefully reduced by using the bleed knob of the
shock pump until the measures are corresponding.
[10]
5. If the distance between the bolts is longer than
the length of the color beam, the air pressure of
the positive chamber is too low and should be
increased by using the shock pump until the measures are corresponding.
