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 TRAC-LOC remote control.
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
automatic-locking systems, can follow the trail surface
and will offer perfect traction and higher speed while
standing on the pedals.
