Scott TwinLoc Downclamp 22
The Scott TwinLoc Downclamp 22 is a handlebar-mounted control lever used on Scott mountain bikes to operate the brand’s proprietary TwinLoc suspension system.
It lets you control front fork + rear shock (and sometimes dropper post integration) from a single cockpit lever.
What it is
This is a replacement/upgrade remote unit for Scott’s TwinLoc system (model year ~2022 bikes and similar setups). It mounts under the handlebar (“downclamp” style) and allows you to switch suspension modes on the fly:
- Open mode (full travel)
- Traction / medium mode
- Lockout mode
It is designed mainly for Scott Spark, Genius, and related XC/trail platforms.
Key Features
- 3-position suspension control (Open / Traction / Lockout)
- Controls both fork and rear shock simultaneously
- Compact “downclamp” cockpit mounting
- Integrated cable actuation system
- Works with Scott proprietary TwinLoc-compatible suspension setups
- Ergonomic lever feel for quick changes while riding
Specifications
- Model: 2900099999222 (commonly referenced)
- Mount: Under-bar (downclamp)
- Function: 3-position suspension remote
- Compatibility: Scott TwinLoc-equipped bikes (mostly 2022+ platforms)
- Weight: ~80–90g (varies slightly by version)
- Material: Aluminium + composite lever components
- Cable pull: Pre-set for TwinLoc damping systems
Bottom Line
The TwinLoc Downclamp 22 is not a universal lever—it’s a Scott-specific system controller. It only works properly with bikes and suspension components designed for TwinLoc integration.
Who It Is Suitable For
- Riders with Scott Spark / Genius / Scale (TwinLoc-equipped builds)
- XC and marathon MTB riders
- Riders who frequently switch between climbing and descending modes
- Anyone replacing a broken TwinLoc 2 lever on a compatible bike
Pros
- Very fast suspension mode switching
- Cleaner cockpit (one lever instead of multiple controls)
- Efficient climbing + descending setup
- Factory-integrated feel on Scott bikes
- Reliable once properly set up
Cons
- Proprietary (not universal or easily replaceable with other brands)
- Limited compatibility outside Scott ecosystem
- Replacement parts can be expensive and harder to source
- Requires proper TwinLoc-compatible suspension to function correctly
- Less flexibility than separate fork/shock/dropper controls
Who Should Use It?
You should use this if:
- Your bike already has a TwinLoc system installed
- You are replacing a damaged or worn remote
- You want full OEM functionality restored
- You ride XC/trail where frequent suspension mode changes matter
You should avoid it if:
- You want to convert to standard levers (Fox / SRAM / Shimano style)
- Your suspension is not TwinLoc-compatible
- You prefer independent fork, shock, and dropper controls
Quick Verdict
The Scott TwinLoc Downclamp 22 is a highly specific but very effective cockpit control system. On the right Scott bike, it feels clean, fast, and efficient—but it is strictly a proprietary solution rather than a universal upgrade part.
