ROAD BIKE | OWNER’S MANUAL 2021
Depending on the gear system, gear shifting is initiated by actuating a brake
lever/shifter unit (c) or a shifter (d) in the case of flat bars. Continue pedalling
during gear shifting, however, at reduced pedalling force.
The most common brake lever/shifter units and their operation are explained in
the following. It is, however, also possible that your new SCOTT road bike has a
gear system that is not mentioned below.
With the SRAM eTAP / AXS Road (e) the gears on the rear derailleur are shifted
by actuating one of the buttons respectively at the brake levers/shifters. With
the AXS Road it is freely configurable whether the left or the right button shifts
to an easier or harder gear.
By keeping one of the buttons pressed the gears are shifted through on the rear
derailleur until you release the button. By actuating both buttons at the same
time the front derailleur changes to the other chainring.
By means of the SRAM AXS app various individual settings can be made to the
gear system.
More information is provided at www.sram.com
In the case of Shimano Dual Control (f) brake lever/shifter units you shift to the
larger chainrings or sprockets by moving the entire brake lever inwards. You can
shift up to two chainrings or three sprockets per gear shift. By moving the small
lever alone that is located behind the brake lever the chain moves towards the
smaller chainrings or sprockets, but only one sprocket per tap.
The Shimano Di2 is the electronic version of the high-quality drive groups from
Shimano. Instead of cables the signal is transmitted by wires. The rear and the
front derailleurs are moved by small electrical motors. The power supply is
provided by a rechargeable battery that is mounted to the frame or in the seat
post.
