Condition 5 SCOTT Bikes
SCOTT condition 5 bikes (a-c) are suitable for extreme sports, i.e. jumps, jumps
from obstacles (drops), 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 condition 5 bikes, you have to take ap-
propriate safety measures, such as more frequent servicing of your bike and the re-
placement of fittings and equipment. You should also wear comprehensive safety
equipment, such as a full-face helmet, protection pads and body protectors.
SCOTT condition 5 bikes are designed for use on most challenging terrains, e.g. on
North Shore trails, and for slope style, but only by highly skilled and experienced
riders. Jumps/drops may be performed up to a height of 120cm.
SCOTT condition 5 bikes are intended 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 condition 5 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.
Due to their design and fittings, SCOTT condition 5 bikes are generally not intend-
ed to be used on public roads. If you want to use them on public roads, these bikes
must be fitted with the prescribed equipment (lighting system, bell).
Observe the traffic rules when riding on public roads. You find more information
in the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on public roads” in the translation of
your detailed original SCOTT operating instructions “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” on
the SCOTT web page.
You find details as to the maximum permissible overall weight on the sticker on
the frame of your SCOTT bike and in the chapter “Notes on the maximum per-
missible overall weight”. Under certain circumstances the permissible maximum
weight can be further limited by the component manufacturers’ recommendations
for use.
