DANGER!
G
Be sure to use your SCOTT bike only for its intended purpose, as it may
otherwise not withstand the stress and fail. Risk of falling!
DANGER!
G
Make particularly sure there is enough space between your crotch and the
top tube (f) so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off your
bicycle quickly.
DANGER!
G
Note that both braking effect and tyre grip can be reduced drastically in
wet conditions. Look well ahead when riding on wet roads and go well be-
low the speed you would ride at in dry conditions.
DANGER!

Due to their specific intended use, some SCOTT dirt bikes are fitted with
only one brake. There is, however, always a second brake supplied which
can be mounted, if necessary. Do not ride these SCOTT dirt bikes on public
roads, but only on enclosed terrain.
DANGER!
G
A lack of practice when using clipless pedals or too much spring tension in
the mechanism can lead to a very firm connection, from which you cannot
quickly step out! Risk of falling!
DANGER!

In case you had a crash with your SCOTT bike, perform at least the check
described in the chapters “Tests before every ride” and “Tests after an
accident”. Only ride back very carefully on your SCOTT bike, if it passed the
tests without any problems. Do not accelerate or brake hard and do not ride
your bike out of the saddle. If you are in doubt, have yourself picked up by car,
instead of taking any risk. Back home you need to check your SCOTT bike thor-
oughly once again. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your
SCOTT dealer!
NOTE!

We recommend that you take out private liability insurance. Make sure that
coverage for bicycle damage is provided by your insurance. Contact your
insurance company or agency.
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 (a). Check whether your toes
reach to the floor when you are sitting on the saddle (exception: full suspen-
sion SCOTT bikes). Your SCOTT dealer will be pleased to help you, if you are
not happy with your seating position.
For more information see the chapter “Adjusting the SCOTT bike to the rider”.
5. If your SCOTT bike is equipped with clipless or step-in pedals (b): Have you
ever tried cycling with the respective cycling shoes? First practise locking
one shoe onto a pedal and disengaging it while standing on the other leg.
Ask your SCOTT dealer to explain you the pedals and to adjust them to your
needs.
For more information see the chapter “Pedals and shoes” and the manuals of
the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
6. If you purchased a SCOTT bike with suspension (c+d), you should ask your
SCOTT dealer to adjust the suspension settings to your needs. Improperly
adjusted suspension elements are liable to malfunction or damage. In any
case they will impair the performance of your bike as well as your safety and
joy whilst riding.
For more information see the chapters “Front suspension” and “Rear suspen-
sion” and the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info
CD.

Be aware that the distance you need to stop your bike increases, when you
are riding with your hands on handlebars with bar ends (e). The brake levers
