All shift, brake, and suspension control cables get routed through an oversized upper headset cup straight into the frame.īut the cables essentially enter on the sides of the ‘stems’ for smoother cable bends and easier accessibility, with clip-on cable shrouds keeping it all tidy and relatively protected from the elements. Integrated routing with Syncros bars, stems & 1-piece cockpitsĮxtending the integration up front, Syncros has new 1 & 2-piece cockpits for clean internal routing setups. But essentially, a new Spark 900 buyer could reduce their fork travel with an internal spacer and flip their headset around to get the exact geometry of the XC bike. The other differentiating factors between the two versions are smaller, more linear rear shock for the RC cross-country bikes and slightly larger-volume, more progressive shocks for the 900 down-country bikes. Chatting with Nino about his race setup, he actually brought his bar stack down ~4mm even with the overall taller bike. But for the most part riders will be able to get the exact same fits on the new bike. new pre-sag figures, with more travel & bigger tires the new bikes sit quite a bit higher, both at the bottom bracket and at the bars.
#SCOTT SPARK PLUS#
Beyond more travel at both ends, even the XC racing model is now more than a degree slacker at a 67.2° head angle, with a 2-3 degree steeper seat angle to around 76° depending on size, plus at least 12mm longer reach.Ĭomparing the old vs. With the bump up to 120mm of rear wheel travel for both XC and trail, both RC & 900 bikes get more aggressive geometry. Scott worked with both Fox & X-Fusion to get special, brighter o-rings that were easier to see like RockShox’s red rings.
And a small removable grommet there also makes it easy to check how much travel you’ve used. Text & line indicators on the non-driveside seat tube pivot make setting sag easy. They even tested bikes back-to-back to see how reduced airflow might affect shock temperature & performance, finding no significant difference on the old & new Sparks.Īnd the framesets are light – a claimed 1870g for frame, shock & hardware on the top-tier HMX-SL carbon frames, essentially saving weight over the previous bike when you factor the newly integrated components in. Scott says this configuration creates stronger, stiffer force distribution from the suspension into the widest, stiffest part of the frame at the bottom bracket. The result is a shock completely protected from the elements – no mud sprayed on or UV-light exposure to its sensitive slider & seals – yet still easily accessible with a large access port under the downtube for easy shock adjustment. …and a unique 3-piece, splined rocker arm drives the shock inside, while connecting to the seatstays outside through a set of oversized, extra-sealed pivot bearings. The whole setup works simply by shifting the trunnion mount shock into the frame where the unsprung weight of the shock can move a bit lower (that’s also why Scott inverts the shocks)… Bold is still independently developing new bikes (new models expected this fall!), and Scott developed this new Spark completely separate of Bold.
#SCOTT SPARK HOW TO#
Non inclusi.For several years Scott had already been trying to figure out how to integrate the shock lower and inside their frame for improved performance & protection, and uncovering fellow Swiss bike maker Bold’s integrated suspension solution (and patent) spurred Scott to bring the small brand into their bigger company.
