The Spark should be adjusted exactly to the current
rider for reaching maximum safety and fun while riding.
All adjustments should be done at the local Scott dealer
or following to this manual.

SPARK CONCEPT KINEMATICS
GEOMETRY/
TECHNICAL DATA
SPARK
Spark is the result of 2 years of research and development 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 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 bikes (e.g. Scott
Genius MC).
Spark was designed for riders looking for a dual
suspended race and marathon bike offering a maximum 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.
The Spark Concept is based on a new designed multipivot 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 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.

SHOCK-TECHNOLOGY
The heart of the TC-System is the new developed and
innovative Scott Nude TC Shock made by DT Swiss,
offering three functions which make this system possible.
By using the TRAC- LOC remote lever you can chose
following functions:
1. ALL TRAVEL MODE: full travel of 110mm
2. TRACTION MODE: by reducing the internal chamber volume inside the shock the travel of the shock
will be reduced to around 60% (approx. 70mm) the
characteristic of the air spring gets harder. This
results in climbing without “bobbing” and offers still
optimum traction of the rear wheel.

3. LOCK OUT MODE: the shock is locked; climbing on
asphalt roads is now possible without any power
loss. Simultaneous a blow-off-system prevents the
shock being damaged in case the rider did not open
the system while crossing obstacles.
You will find the following positions on the remote
lever: [1]
L3
Please note that you can only assemble the TRACLOC remote lever in “left side upward position” on
the handlebar.
You have 3 positions of the TRAC-LOC remote lever.
- most forward position: LOCK OUT
- middle position: TRACTION MOEDE
- most backward position: ALL TRAVEL MODE
Change the modes by pushing the lever with your fingers
frontward and release them by tapping the release
button (one mode per push/release)
