gEnius Concept
Geometry Genius
Genius is the result of 2 years of research and development for the lightest mountain bike frame set available on the market to be used for marathon, trail and long distance riding, hitting the scale at below 2250 grams including the frame, Scott/DT Equalizer 2 shock. Scott’s focus was not only on lightweight but also on a durable frame with an innovative suspension technology in combination with an optimized kinematics of the rear swingarm. The combination of an optimized kinematics with an extraordinary suspension technology closes the gap between superlight dual-suspension bikes (e.g. Scott Spark) and the new generation of all mountain bikes (e.g. Scott Ransom). Genius was designed for riders looking for a dual suspended marathon and tour/long distance bike offering a maximum rear wheel travel of 150mm. Scott does not see frame, rear shock and kinematics as single components which are assembled together on a bike, but as a concept with all these components working together and offering an outrageous function by matching perfectly. The Scott system, named TC (Traction Control) will allow you to reduce by remote control the rear wheel travel from 150mm to 95mm including a more progressive spring rate but still offering a supple break away. No power will be lost and an optimum power transfer is guaranteed as the swingarm, in contrary to locked or automatic-locking systems, can follow the trail surface and will offer perfect traction and higher speed while standing on the pedals.

Recommended Tools for the Shock Set-Up 9
remount the cap of the cable housing window on the shock by turning them clockwise using a 1.5 mm allen key and a maximum tightening torque of 0.3 Nm
For the set-up of the shock we recommend to use a shock pump with a scale up to 40 bars/600 psi with a special air valve connector preventing from air getting away while removing the pump from the shock valve, this will result in an exact air pressure. Please note that air will flow into the hose and indicator when counterchecking the air pressure, so you have to set up again the recommended pressure after this action. Make sure to balance at least this air loss when you make a check of the air pressure of the shock. Pls also note that the indicators of shock pumps have a tolerance of max. 10%

222
333
Important: Please note that the maximum pressure of the Equalizer 2 shock is 28.0bars/406psi in the positive chamber and 22.4bars/325psi in the negative chamber and which means a maximum weight of the rider of 110kg/243lbs incl. riding gear and load.

Set-Up GENIUS with EQUALIZER 2 SHOck
SAG
The Set-Up of the Scott/DT Equalizer 2 Shock can be easy done within a few minutes..
The SAG should be 12.5mm on the shock piston, which means approx. 25% SAG in Full Travel Position
To adjust the air pressure of the air chamber of the Scott Equalizer 2 Shock please refer to the following instruction:
To check the adjustment, please follow as shown below:
1. remove the valve cap of the positive valve (S8) which is the UPPER valve on the shock body and mount the shock pump with its adaptor on the valve. 2. pump the recommended pressure into the shock. On the shock body you will find a table showing the recommended air pressure of the positive chamber according to the rider’s weight. 3. when you reached the needed pressure remove the pump and put the valve cap on the valve 4. remove the valve cap of the negative valve (S9) which is the LOWER valve on the shock body and mount the shock pump with its adaptor on the valve 5. pump the recommended pressure into the shock. On the shock body you will find a table showing the recommended air pressure of the negative chamber according to the rider’s weight. 6. when you reached the needed pressure remove the pump and put the valve cap on the valve
1. Sit on the bike, put your feet on the pedal. 2. check if the arrow of the SAG indicator arrow matches with the 25% indication on the mudguard. (In case you want go for a harder set up you could go for 20% SAG, in case you want to go for a softer set-up you could go for 30% SAG as shown as well on the indicator) - If the arrow matches with the SAG percentage indication of your choice the air pressure is matching to your weight -
If the arrow is at a lower percentage indication then the one of your choice the air pressure I the positive air chamber is too high and should be carefully reduced by using the bleed knob of the shock pump until the arrow matches with the SAG percentage of your choice
- If the arrow is at a higher percentage indication then the one of your choice the air pressure I the positive air chamber is too low and should be increased by using the shock pump until the arrow matches with the SAG percentage of your choice

Set-Up of Rebound EQUALIZER 2 Shock
Important: Please make sure that both rebound wheels show the same number below the arrow on the shock body.
“Rebound” describes the speed the shock comes back to its original length after absorbing an obstacle. To adjust the rebound of the Equalizer 2 please follow the steps mentioned below:
S6
By using the red rebound screws (S6 & S7) on the downside of the Air Chambers you can adjust the rebound step by step. In case you want even more detailed figures of air pressure or tuning hints, you can download a program under www.scott-sports.com as a MS Excel file.
Genius
S7
Please refer to the following instruction: Ride your bike off a pavement (remain in the saddle) and check how many times it bounces.
ENGLISH
- if it bounces 1-2 times, the set up is good. - If it bounces more than 3 times the rebound is too fast. Turn both screws 1-2 “clicks” clockwise - If it does not bounce the rebound is too slow. Turn both screws 1-2 “clicks” counter clockwise.

Important: Note that you have to mount the Scott Equalizer 2 Shock always as shown beneath. Mounting the rear shock in a different position can cause severe damages to the frame, the linkage levers and the rear shock.
Set-Up of other shock models Scott strongly recommends using only the Scott Equalizer 2 Shock with the Genius bike, as we designed both parts for a perfect matching combination with a linear suspension rate. If you want to use a different rear shock model than the one originally on the bike, please make sure that the shock will not in any position hit the frame and cause a damage to the frame. Please follow the instruction below: Please make sure that the rear shock or its accessory parts do not touch the frame when mounting or suspending. For doing so release the air/remove the coil, install the shock and extend the shock completely. If the shock touches the frame while doing so, do not use this shock in order to avoid damage to frame, swingarm or shock.
SCOTT Smart Cable Routing
Important: After a dismantlement of the rear shock, both fixing bolts should be tightened with a tightening torque of 5Nm/44in-lbs.
To change the cables simply unscrew and open the cable brackets on the downtube.
ENGLISH
Genius
If this is not done correctly the rear shock can be damaged.
The direct and straight cable system on all our full suspension models allows Smart Cable Routing which is very resistant against water and dirt.

Cable Housing Length
Replaceable Dropout
In order to avoid damages on the frame/derailleur and/or “ghost-shifting” which could result in dangerous riding please note that under the BB housing the distance between the cable housing and the BB shell should be minimum 35mm.
On Genius bikes you can replace the rear derailleur hanger. In case the replaceable hanger is damaged by a crash or accident you can order at your local Scott dealer the replacement part with Scott article number 206473
35 MM
Adjustment of Seatpost-Height Important: The seatpost has to be inserted into the seattube at a minimum of 100mm.
Front Derailleur Fixation On Genius you will find an E-type front derailleur but fixed directly on the swingarm without the plate that is fixed normally between the bottom bracket bearing cup and the bottom bracket housing of the front triangle.
ENGLISH
Genius
Never use another seatpost diameter than 34.9mm or try to use a shim/reducer between seatpost and frame.

Front Fork Set-Up/ Change of Front Fork
notes
For the set up of the front fork please use the fork specific manual attached to the bike. We recommend using front forks with a travel of 140 - 150mm (518 - 525mm from mid of axle - top of crown), as this will not influence the geometry and alter handling of the bike.
Pivot Maintenance The pivot and bearings on SCOTT Genius are extremely easy to maintain. An external treatment with a grease spray after every bike wash is all you have to do. We do not recommend heavy grease sprays since these will leave a film on the parts which is difficult to remove. We recommend the same for the chain also. If you have to change the bearings you can order them included in a service kit at your local SCOTT dealer or buy them with international parts number as shown above in the specs list in a hardware store.
ENGLISH
Genius
In case of a change of the bearings or of the rear swingarm you should contact your local SCOTT dealer as you need special tools for disassembly and assembly.
