SPARK CONCEPT
Spark is the result of 2 years of research and develop- ment for the lightest mountain bike frame set available on the market, hitting the scale at below 1800 grams (4 pounds) including the frame, Scott Nude TC shock and
Scott’s focus was not only on lightweight but also on a durable frame with an innovative suspension technolo- gy in combination with an optimized kinematics of the rear swingarm.
The combination of an optimized kinematics with an extraordinary suspension technology closes the gap between superlight hardtail bikes (e.g. Scott Scale) and the new generation of marathon bikes (e.g. Scott Genius MC).
Spark was designed for riders looking for a dual suspended race and marathon bike offering a maxi- mum rear wheel travel of 110mm.
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 working together and offering an outrageous function by matching perfectly.
KINEMATICS
The Spark Concept is based on a new designed multi- pivot technology.
In combination with the linear shock characteristics the chain tension will be reduced and doing so the pedaling will not influence function or movement of the rear swingarm.
The Scott system, named TC (Traction Control) will allow you to reduce by remote control the rear wheel travel from 110mm to 70mm including a more progres- sive spring rate but still offering a supple break away.
No power will be lost and an optimum power transfer is guaranteed as the swingarm, in contrary to locked or
