SPARK CONCEPT GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL DATA SPARK 650B/27.5”
The new Spark is the result of 2 years of research and development for one of the
lightest mountain bike frame set available on the market, hitting the scale at below
1800 grams (4 lbs) including the frame, FOX Nude shock and the unique TWINLOC
remote control.
SCOTT’s focus was not only on lightweight but also on a durable and stiff frame with
an innovative suspension technology 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/trail bikes (e.g. SCOTT Genius).
Spark was designed for riders looking for a dual suspended race and marathon bike
offering a maximum rear wheel travel of 120mm (27.5”)/100mm (29”).
SCOTT does not see frame and rear shock 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.
The Spark Concept is based on a multi-pivot technology.
The damping performance was improved in comparison to the already famous
“old” Spark, and with reworking also the kinematics we were able to reach a better
progression in the end of the stroke/travel of the swingarm.
The SCOTT system, named TC (Traction Control) will allow you to reduce by remote
control the rear wheel travel from 120 (27.5”)/100 (29”)mm to 85 (27.5”)/70(29”)mm
including a more progressive 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.
