maximum safety and fun while riding.

All adjustments should be done at the

local Scott dealer or following to this

manual.

FRANÇAIS DEUTSCH

ENGLISH

Gambler is the result of 2 years of research and deve-

lopment searching for one of the most versatile and

durable FR and DH bikes available on the market, but

still easy in set-up and maintenance.

Scott’s focus was to combine solid construction with

optimized kinematics. This respecting the demands of

riders concerning geometry, suspension characteristics,

low center of gravity and stiffness.

Gambler was designed for riders looking for a dual

suspended FR bike or a race oriented DH bike offering

rear wheel travel between 190 and 230 mm.

GAMBLER CONCEPT

GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL

DATA GAMBLER

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 wor-

king together and offering an outrageous function by

matching perfectly.

The Gambler Concept is based on a new designed

multi-pivot technology.

In combination with the linear coil-over shock characte-

ristics the kinematics guarantees a progressive suspen-

sion, adapted to smooth riding (beginning of travel) as

well as extreme jumps (end of travel).

ENGLISH

On Gambler you can adjust the headangle within a few

minutes for a better handling depending on your riding

style and track condition/style.

You need

- a 4mm Allen key bit for a tighening torque key

- a 56mm wrench (attached to this bike)

ADJUSTMENT

OF HEAD ANGLE

3. IMPORTANT:

Please make sure that there is no gap between the

collar on the downside of the insert and the head

tube clamp on the frame.

1. Loose the three screws on the head of the headtube

with a 4mm allen key but do not remove them

completely. These screws hold the insert in Place.

Please note that it is not necessary to disassemble

the fork or any other components.

2. Turn the insert with the 56mm wrench which is

attached to your bike/frameset. The slot of the insert

should always be in line with the slot of the

headtube clamp. The resulting angle is engraved in

the insert for both options.

4. tighten the 3 screws with 5Nm/44in-lbs

2 DIFFERENT

HEADTUBE INSERTS

On Gambler you have 2 options for the headset

diameter (1 1/8” and 1.5”).

You can order the headtube inserts via your local

Scott dealer with:

210127 Headtube Insert

Gambler 1 1/8”, 1size

210128 Headtube Insert

Gambler 1.5”, 1size

For removing/assemblying them please contact

your local Scott dealer as you might need some

special tools for the headset dis-/assembly as well

as a tightening torque key to fix the inserts in the

headtube section.

3 DIFFERENT

REAR TRAVEL OPTIONS

RECOMMENDED TOOLS

FOR THE SET-UP

The Set-Up of the rear shock can be easy done within a

few minutes.

Please make sure that the coil spring on the shock mat-

ches to your riding weight (including your riding gear).

We recommend following coil springs:

On Gambler you have 3 options for the rear travel as

shown on the drawing below:

Please read this manual and the manual of the rear

shock manufacturer carefully before you start the set-

up procedure.

In addition we strongly recommend using a tightening

torque key with a 6mm allen key insert.

To simplify the check of the SAG (= negative travel)

of the rear shock please use the “SAG-Boy” printed as

a beam on the cover of this manual.

For fine tuning the SAG and the corresponding eye-to-eye distance of the shock bolts you can tighten or release

the pretension of the coil spring but please respect the maximum and minimum spring indications of the shock

manufacturer.

The eye-to-eye distance between the shock bolts should be in basic set up 212mm (40% SAG).

This length is also indicated on the cover of this manual by the colored beam of the SAG-Boy.

For further details on the shock set-up please follow the indications of the rear shock manufacturer

attached to this bike.

FRANÇAIS DEUTSCH

ENGLISH

“Rebound” describes the speed the shock comes back

to its original length after absorbing an obstacle.

By using the red rebound screw you can adjust the

rebound step by step.

Please refer to the following instruction:

Ride your bike off a pavement (remain in the saddle)

and check how many times it bounces.

- if it bounces 1-2 times, the set up is good.

- If it bounces more than 3 times the rebound is

too fast. Turn the screw 1-2 “clicks” clockwise

- If it does not bounce the rebound is too slow.

Turn the screw 1-2 “clicks” counter clockwise.

BASIC SET-UP

OF REBOUND

Note that you have to mount the rear shock

always as shown underneath.

Mounting the rear shock in a different position

can cause severe damages to the frame, the

linkage levers and the rear shock.

-l

SET-UP OF

OTHER SHOCK MODELS

e, as we have cho-

sen carefully both parts for a perfect matching combi-

nation.

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 compress 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

ADJUSTMENT

OF SEATPOST-HEIGHT

When lowering down the seatpost, please make

sure that it will not hit the shock below while

riding! This could result in serious damage on bike

parts and result in a dangerous riding condition.

The Gambler offers the possibility not only to change

drop out hanger in case of damage, you also can choo-

se between different 3 different drop outs of the Scott

IDS (Interchangeable Drop-Out System):

FRANÇAIS DEUTSCH

ENGLISH

IDS DROP OUT SYSTEM

FRONT FORK SET-UP/

CHANGE OF FRONT FORK

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 between

180 and 200 mm (568mm fork length), as this will not

influence the geometry and alter handling of the bike.

PIVOT MAINTENANCE

The pivots and bearings on SCOTT Gambler 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 remo-

ve. We recommend the same for the chain also.

If you have to change the bearings you can order

them included in a service kit (Scott article number:

210126) at your local SCOTT dealer or buy them

with international parts number as shown above in

the specs list in a hardware store.

Inline on Gambler DH you will find following drop out

(10mm longer as FR drop out):

Inline you will find on Gambler FR following drop out:

Another Option is SRAM-Maxle System for

12mm/150mm through axle hubs

(same length as your FR dropout), available at your

local authorized Scott dealer:
