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)

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.
