REAR SUSPENSION
Full suspension SCOTT bikes are not only equipped with a suspension fork
but also with movable rear frame (d) 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 and ensures more ground contact for
the tyre. It noticeably reduces the strain on you and your bicycle caused by the
mechanical shocks from the terrain.
Rear shocks differ in their types of spring elements and damping. The rear
shock normally works with an air spring element (e) or – less frequently – with
coil springs (f). Damping is usually done by oil. Depending on the system the
rear shock has one or more bearing axles.
NOTE!
I
Rear shock manufacturers normally include instructions with their deliver-
ies. Read them carefully before changing any settings or doing any main-
tenance work on your rear shock. You can find the instruction of the rear shock
manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD.
NOTE!

CAUTION!
A
Do not actuate the lockout function when riding over rough terrain, but only
when riding over smooth terrain (roads or field tracks).
Maintenance
Suspension forks are components of sophisticated design that require regular
maintenance and care. This has led almost all suspension fork manufacturers
to establish service centres where you can have your forks thoroughly checked
and overhauled at regular intervals according to use, e.g. once a year.
The following routines are essential for maintenance:
1. Make sure the sliding surfaces of the stanchion tubes and the wiper rings are
absolutely clean.
2. Clean the suspension fork, if it is soiled, directly after the ride with plenty of
water and a soft sponge (a).
3. After washing your bike, spray the stanchion tubes of the suspension fork
with a little grease spray (b) approved by the manufacturer or apply a very
thin film of hydraulic oil. Compress the fork several times and wipe off excess
lubricant with a clean rag before you set off for your next ride.
4. Do not use a steam jet or aggressive cleaning agents for cleaning! Ask your
SCOTT dealer for an appropriate cleaning agent.
5. Forks with air suspension have to be checked regularly for air pressure, as the
air escapes over time (c).
6. If your suspension fork has steel coils, you should regularly have the coils
cleaned and lubricated with a non-corrosive resin-free grease. Some fork
manufacturers provide special greases for fork maintenance. Strictly observe
the recommendations of the manufacturers. These are routines for the sus-
pension fork service centre.
Suspension elements are of sophisticated design. The maintenance routines and
above all the disassembly of the suspension elements are jobs best left to your
SCOTT dealer or the fork manufacturer’s service centre.
