SET-UP of Positive AIR Chamber Genius TC Shock

SET-UP OF POSITIVE AIR CHAMBER GENIUS TC SHOCK

IMPORTANT:

For all adjustments of the air spring the lockout lever has to be in position “all travel”.

The positive air chamber contains the air-spring you “sit-on” while riding. [7]

To adjust the air pressure of the positive chamber of the Scott Genius Shock please refer to the following instruction:

1.Remove the valve cap of the black valve (S6) located on the Piggy-Back (S3).

2.Mount the shock pump with its adaptor on the valve

3.Pump the recommended pressure into the Piggy-Back. On the housing of the Piggy-Back you will find a table showing in the black colored areas the recommended air pressure of the positive chamber according to the rider’s weight.

4.When you reached the needed pressure remove the pump and put the valve cap on the valve.

SET-UP OF NEGATIVE AIR CHAMBER GENIUS TC SHOCK

The negative air chamber contains the air-spring influencing the brake-away and characteristic while absorbing shocks. A too high brake-away can cause an non-secure and uncomfortable ride. [8]

To adjust the air pressure of the negative chamber of the Scott Genius Shock please refer to the following instruc- tion:

1.Remove the cap of the silver valve (S7) located on the shock housing (S4).

2.Mount the shock pump with its adaptor on the valve.

3.Pump the recommended pressure into the shock hou- sing. On the housing of the piggy-back you will find a table showing in the silver colored areas the recom- mended air pressure of the negative chamber according to the rider’s weight.

4.When you reached the needed pressure remove the pump and put the valve cap on the valve.

We recommend to make sure that the pressure balance between positive and negative chamber follows the recommendations shown on the piggy-back.

Not doing so may cause a loss in performance or comfort or may result in damage of the shock.

After adjusting positive and negative chamber according to the rider’s weight you can double check by using the SAG-Boy, which is on the back of the manual, if the SAG (negative travel) is well adjusted.

The negative travel is important when crossing grooves or holes on the trail.

If the bike is well adjusted the rear wheel and the swin- garm will roll through the groove without the mainframe moving.

The SAG should be 15-20% of the travel for race oriented riders and 20-25% of the travel for comfort oriented riders.

The SAG-Boy indicates the recommended eye-to- eye distance of the shock bolts of the different Genius models.

To check the adjustment, please follow as shown below:

1.Sit on the bike, put your feet on the pedal. [9]

2.Ask a second person, to put the color beam of the SAG-Boy, recommended for your bike model, aside the eye-to-eye distance of the shock bolts.

3.If the distance between the bolts is correspon- ding to the length of the color beam, the air pres- sure is matching to your weight

4.If the distance between the bolts is shorter than the length of the color beam, the air pressure of the positive chamber is too high and should be carefully reduced by using the bleed knob of the

shock pump until the measures are corresponding.

[10]

5.If the distance between the bolts is longer than the length of the color beam, the air pressure of the positive chamber is too low and should be increased by using the shock pump until the mea- sures are corresponding.

One of the key features of the LC-R is its advanced suspension system, designed to absorb shocks and enhance control over rough surfaces. The adjustable settings allow riders to customize the ride feel according to their preferences or the terrain.

In contrast, the Scott TC model focuses on versatility and comfort. It boasts a slightly more relaxed geometry, making it suitable for long-distance rides and varied terrains. The TC is equipped with a robust aluminum frame, offering durability and reliability. The model integrates cutting-edge technologies such as the TwinLoc system, which lets riders adjust the front fork and rear shock simultaneously, optimizing performance for climbing or descending.

Both models feature high-tech components, including electronic shifting systems for effortless gear changes. This technology ensures precision shifting, improving overall ride efficiency. The integrated smart display on the handlebars provides real-time information such as speed, distance, and battery life for e-bike options, keeping riders informed and engaged during their journeys.

Another highlight of the Scott LC-R and TC is their ergonomically designed handlebars and seat, promoting a comfortable riding position. Scott's commitment to safety is evident in the inclusion of high-visibility reflective elements and powerful integrated lights, ensuring riders can navigate any environment securely.

Overall, the Scott LC-R and TC models exemplify the amalgamation of advanced engineering, thoughtful design, and rider-centric features. Whether climbing steep hills or cruising on flat terrains, both models deliver impressive performance, making them perfect companions for both novice and experienced cyclists. The attention to detail, durability, and performance technologies solidify Scott's position as a leader in the cycling industry. Riders looking for style, comfort, and high performance will find these models a compelling choice in their cycling journey.
