•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.
