WARNING: Suspension forks are designed to absorb shocks. If the fork is
too rigid and jammed, the terrain-induced shocks pass directly into the frame
without any damping. This could damage the suspension fork itself as well as
the frame. If your suspension fork has a lockout mechanism (d), do not activate
the lockout function when riding in rough terrain, but only when riding over
smooth terrain (roads, field tracks).
CAUTION: More information on adjusting and maintenance is available on the
internet at

CAUTION: Suspension fork manufacturers normally include manuals with their
deliveries. You find these manuals on the enclosed SCOTT info CD. Read these
carefully before changing any settings or doing any maintenance work on your
suspension fork.
REAR SUSPENSION
Full suspension SCOTT bikes are not only equipped with a suspension fork but also
with movable rear stays (e) which are sprung and damped by a rear shock. This
feature gives you better control of your SCOTT bike when riding cross-country or on
rough road surfaces. The (shock) loads on you and your SCOTT bike are noticeably
reduced. The rear shock normally works with an air spring element or – less fre-
quently – with coil springs. Damping is usually done by oil.
To work perfectly, the rear shock has to be adjusted to the weight of the rider, the
sitting posture and the intended use (f). Be sure to have this adjustment carried
out by your SCOTT dealer at the time of delivery.
For more information see the chapter “Rear suspension” in your detailed SCOTT
owner’s manual as well as in the manuals of the rear shock manufacturer on the
enclosed SCOTT info CD.
SUSPENSION ON SCOTT BIKES
FRONT SUSPENSION
Lots of SCOTT bikes, in particular SCOTT mountain bikes, SCOTT cross and
SCOTT trekking bikes have suspension forks (a). This feature gives you better
control of your SCOTT bike when riding cross-country or on rough road surfaces
and ensures more ground contact for the tyre. The (shock) loads on you and your
SCOTT bike are noticeably reduced. Suspension forks differ in their types of spring
elements and damping. Suspension forks normally work with air spring elements
or with coil springs.
Damping is usually done by oil. To work perfectly, the fork has to be adjusted to the
weight of the rider, the sitting posture and the intended use (b). Be sure to have
this adjustment carried out by your SCOTT dealer at the time of delivery. For more
information see the chapter “Front suspension” in your detailed SCOTT owner’s
manual as well as in the manuals of the suspension fork manufacturer on the
enclosed SCOTT info CD.
WARNING: The suspension fork should be set up and adjusted in a way that
it does not reach the end of its travel, i.e. bottom out, unless in extreme cases (c).
A spring rate which is too soft (air pressure is too low) can usually be heard or felt
as a “clunk” type noise. This noise is caused by the sudden complete compression
of the suspension fork as it reaches bottom out. If the suspension fork frequently
reaches bottom out, it will sustain damage over time, and so will the frame.
WARNING: A too strong damping of the suspension fork can result in a
sluggish rebound movement with a suspension fork that will not recover when
exposed to a quick series of impacts. Risk of falling!
WARNING: Do not turn any bolt on your suspension fork, particularly not
with tools, in the vague hope of adjusting it somehow. You could be loosening
the fastening mechanism, thus provoking an accident. All manufacturers
normally mark adjustment devices with a scale or with “+” (for stronger
damping/harder suspension) and “-” signs.
