•TESTS BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
1. If you want to use your bike on public roads, it has to comply with legal re-
quirements. These requirements may vary in each country. The fittings of your
SCOTT bike are, therefore, not necessarily complete. Ask your SCOTT dealer
concerning the laws and regulations applicable in your country or in the country
you intend to use your SCOTT bike. Have your SCOTT bike equipped according-
ly before using it on public roads.
For more information see the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on public
roads” in your detailed SCOTT owner’s manual on the enclosed SCOTT info CD.
2. Are you familiar with the brake system (d)? Have a look at the SCOTT bike card
and check whether the brake lever of the front brake is on the side you are used
to (right or left). If it is not, ask your SCOTT dealer to switch the brake levers
before you set off for the first time.
Your new bike is equipped with modern brakes which may be far more powerful
than those you were used to so far. Be sure to first practise using the brakes on
a level, non-slip surface off public roads! Slowly approach higher brake perfor-
mances and speeds.
For more information see the chapter “Brakes” in this SCOTT short manual as
well as in your detailed SCOTT owner’s manual and in the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturers on the enclosed SCOTT info CD.
3. Are you familiar with the type and functioning of the gears (e)? Ask your SCOTT
dealer to explain you the gear system and make yourself familiar with your new
gears in an area free of traffic, if necessary.
For more information see the chapter “Gears” in your detailed SCOTT owner’s
manual and in the manuals of the component manufacturers on the enclosed
SCOTT info CD.
4. Are saddle and handlebars properly adjusted? The saddle should be set to a
height from which you can just reach the pedal in its lowest position with your
heel. The hips should remain horizontal (f). Check whether your toes reach to
the floor when you are sitting on the saddle (a, p. 18) (exception: full suspension
SCOTT bikes). Your SCOTT dealer will be pleased to help you, if you are not
happy with your seating position.
Category 5.1: SCOTT gravity, freeride and downhill bikes
(SCOTT DH / FR BIKES)
SCOTT gravity, freeride (a) and downhill bikes (b) are designed for jumps, jumps
from obstacles, high speeds or aggressive riding over rough surfaces or landing on
uneven surfaces. This kind of riding is, however, extremely dangerous and intro-
duces unforeseeable forces on a bicycle which can overstress the frame, the fork
or the components. If you decide to ride off-road on a SCOTT bike of the category
5.1, you have to take appropriate safety measures, such as more frequent servicing
of your bicycle and the replacement of fittings and equipment. You should also
wear comprehensive safety equipment, such as a full-face helmet, protection pads
and body protectors.
SCOTT gravity, freeride and downhill bikes are designed for use on most chal-
lenging terrain, e.g. on North Shore trails and slope style, but only by highly skilled
and experienced riders.
Category 5.2: SCOTT dirt jump bikes (SCOTT bikes DIRT)
SCOTT dirt jump bikes are designed for jumps, jumps from obstacles, high speeds
or aggressive riding over rough surfaces or landing on uneven surfaces. This kind
of riding is, however, extremely dangerous and introduces unforeseeable forces on
a bicycle which can overstress the frame, the fork or the components. If you decide
to ride off-road on a SCOTT bike of the category 5.2, you have to take appropriate
safety measures, such as more frequent servicing of your bicycle and the replace-
ment of fittings and equipment. You should also wear comprehensive safety equip-
ment, such as a full-face helmet, protection pads and body protectors.
SCOTT dirt jump bikes (c) are designed for man-made dirt jumps, ramps, skate
parks and other predictable obstacles and terrains which are rather a challenge to
the rider’s skills and his control of the bike than to suspension features. SCOTT dirt
jump bikes are used like heavy-duty BMX bikes.
SCOTT dirt jump bikes are, however, not designed for terrain, slopes or landings
which require long suspension travels to compensate the shocks of the landing and
to keep control.
•WARNING: For your own safety, do not overestimate your riding skills.
Note that though looking easy the tricks of a professional are hazardous to
your life and limb. Always protect yourself with suitable clothing.
