Technologies
Evo-Lap technology: With the proper selection of materials, eighty percent of the work to create a frame is done. But the remaining twenty percent requires most of Scott's efforts. For this reason, their choice of the most advanced carbon fibers in the market is followed by intensive use of specific tools, like FEA (finite element analysis) software, to map out the carbon lay-up.

With FEA software, Scott can simulate different forces on a virtual model of the frame and adjust the frame construction accordingly. FEA software enables them to create complete virtual prototypes incorporating all the physical phenomena that exist in real-world environments.

With their Evo-Lap technology they model the frame to optimize the surface area, simulate tube structures with different ply orientations, observethe results of using different configurations, and test the stress distribution in different areas of the frame. Thanks to this extensive computer modeling, they’ve optimized the carbon layers in all the parts of their frame. When the parts were bonded together in the first prototypes, the result was a super light and compact frame without a sacrifice in the stiffness, comfort or impact resistance. The entire range benefitted from their EvoLap technology.

TwinLoc Suspension System: With TwinLoc, a rider can effectively control the complete frame, fork, and shock as a system. Why does this matter? A bike with 150mm of suspension travel, correctly set up, has more sag than a bike with 130mm. It's that extra travel that makes it more fun to ride and more capable on the descents, but the greater sag has an oversized effect on the bike's geometry and climbing performance. That's where TwinLoc matters.

TwinLoc helps manage the sag effect in several ways. Whereas most systems only increase low-speed compression in an effort to gain pedaling efficiency, TwinLoc allows Scott to not only change compression damping, but also to change the spring curve, dynamically altering the geometry of the bike. In Trail mode, the shock is not only firmer, but it has dynamically less travel. The bike sits higher, maintains a steep seat angle for those climbs, and becomes more agile. They also offer a third, full lockout mode for going up in the most efficient manner possible.

These unique settings optimize climbing geometry, even on longer travel bikes. They can eliminate the "long travel effect" that can rob your pedaling efficiency, but they're not robbing you of the full-fun, 150mm travel when you point it downhill. From a race setting, to a lunch ride, to an after work trail shred, being able to switch from mode to mode depending on a trails profile at the push of a lever is paramount to riding faster and having a damned good time.

One Frame Two Wheel Sizes: With Scott's mountain bikes, they try to achieve ultimate versatility. These specific models can switch from 27.5" to 29" wheels with nothing more than the flip of a chip. No need to change the fork, all you need to do is flip a shock mount chip, change your wheels and off you go. The flip chip allows Scott to maintain a similar BB height when switching from one wheel size to the other which is key to keeping handling similar for both wheel sizes.

Bosch Power Tube: Thanks to their range, long service life, intelligent battery management system and easy handling, Bosch Power Tube lithium-ion batteries are among the most modern on the market. All those decades of Bosch experience has paid off! Most of Scott's frames are compatible with a 625Wh battery, so feel free to upgrade your 400 or 500Wh for a bigger Power Tube.

Syncros Fork Stop Headset: Developed in collaboration with Syncros for the Genius eRIDE, the fork stop restricts the range of motion to 60 degrees, preventing the fork crown from impacting the frame, protecting you and your bike.

Scott eRide Power Shell Construction: Basic carbon e-bike construction - What Scott wanted to avoid on the new Genius/Strike eRIDE Carbon was a tube which is cut underneath. By cutting the fiber, it’s harder to control the flex and the stiffness of the tube. Scott eRide Power Shell Construction - Thanks to the eRIDE Power Shell construction, Carbon fibers have not been cut as the tube is completely closed. It results in a stronger structure and allowed Scott to be lighter than a basic carbon construction for the equivalent stiffness. The space between the two shells is used to route the cables through the frame for a cleaner finish. No tools needed to remove the battery, open the lock and your battery is free.

Carbon Expert & Mass Repartition: For more stability and better handling, mass repartition is key on an E-Bike, this is why 52% of the frame kit weight is concentrated around the bottom bracket area. This zone is also the stiffest zone of the bike. Thanks to Scott’s carbon knowledge,they used clever layering reinforcement to match the drive unit constraints, while other areas like the top tube are lighter with fewer carbon layers.

Scott eRide Range Extender - MTB: Scott eRide engineering team has developed a specific mount which is fixed on the bottle cage slots. A standard 500Wh Bosch battery can be added on the Range Extender mount. This result in a total of 1125Wh. To recharge, just one charger is needed. The Bosch digital display will take into consideration both batteries. Focus on your journey and not on your battery level! Compatible with the Genius/Strike/Aspect/Axis eRIDE.

Scott Impact Damper: The bottom bracket area is exposed to flying rocks or other potential impacts, therefore Scott have developed their own specific skid plate, the “Impact Damper”. It is reinforced to handle impacts, is covered with a rubber layer to reduce noise and is ventilated to improve drive unit airflow.

Bosch Performance CX Gen 4 Drive Unit: The new Performance CX generation is now 48% smaller and 25% lighter compare to the previous generation. More compact but no less powerful, the new Bosch Performance CX Generation 4 comes with a maximum power output of 75Nm and 340%. Choose between 5 assist modes or opt for the comfort of the eMTB mode which automatically adapts the assistance like an automatic gearbox does in a car.

Bosch Kiox Dispay: Small, robust and connected, Kiox has all the classic functions of an on-board computer, while at the same time giving the eRIDE access to the digital world via its Bluetooth connection and a dedicated smartphone app. The colour display gives you all your riding data at a glance, while the separate control unit allows you to shift modes in no time.

eRide Advanced Design: With this new E-Bike generation, the design has been pushed further than ever before. More than a battery integrated into the frame, Scott see the bike as a system where every part must be taken into consideration. Therefore, to improve the integration, they have worked a lot on the line continuity but also on the design balance from the headtube to the dropouts. Enjoy a bike with a unique character!

Light Ready: In order to mount a front or rear light, Scott have already routed the cables in the frame, and there is no need for an extra battery – the power comes straight from the drive unit battery.
