TIRES AND RIMS
Tires should always be inflated within the manufacturer’s recommendations. They are
rated from 40 to 80 lbs. (check your tires).
Higher pressure for smoother roads or heavy riders.
Lower pressure for more shock absorption on rougher terrains.
For example:
INFLATE TO MIN. 3.5 (50PSI) - MAX. 6.0 BAR (85PSI)
RIM AND WEAR OF THE RIM
If the brake system has brake pads, please be aware that the rim will become worn
through the action of braking.
When riding in wet and muddy terrain, for example, the rim is quickly worn out.
The appearance of small cracks or deformation of the brake surface on the rim when
increasing the tire pressure indicates increased wear of the rim. If this occurs, the rim
should be replaced immediately at an authorized dealer.
SCOTT bikes that are fully equipped (lights, mudguard, carrier) have a
wear‑out‑indicator.
Please follow the instructions of the rim manufacturer shown in the manual or on the
rim itself.
