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 (a), do not activate the lock-
out function when riding in rough terrain, but only when riding over smooth
terrain (roads, field tracks).
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Suspension fork manufacturers normally include manuals with their deliveries.
Read these carefully before changing any settings or doing any maintenance
work on your suspension fork. For additional information on your bicycle and
the web links for the component manufacturers, please visit the manual pages
of the bike brand you have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
REAR SUSPENSION
Full suspension SCOTT bikes are not only equipped with a suspension fork but also
with movable rear stays (b) 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 (c). 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 original
SCOTT operating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec” and “MTB and
MTB-Pedelec” on the SCOTT web page and your model specific manual. For ad-
ditional information on your bicycle and the web links for the component manu-
facturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have purchased via
your Quick Start Manual.
