SPARK CO NCE PT GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL DATA SPARK 650B/27.5”

The new Spark is the result of 2 yea rs of research a nd developm ent for one of th e lightest mou ntain bike fra me set available on the market, hitting the scale at below 1800 grams (4 lbs) including the frame, FOX Nude shock and th e unique T WINLOC remote control.

SCOTT’s focus was not only on light weight but al so on a durable and stiff frame with an innovative suspension technology in combination with an optimized ki nematics of the rear swingarm.

The combination of an optimized kinematics with an extraordinary suspension technolog y closes the ga p between superlight h ardtail bikes (e.g. SCOTT Scale) and the new generation of marathon/trail bikes (e.g. SCOT T Gen i us) .

Spark was designed for riders looking for a dual suspended race and marathon bike offering a maximum rea r wheel travel of 12 0mm (27.5”)/1 00mm (2 9”).

SCOTT does not see frame and rear shock as single com ponents which are assembled together on a bike, but as a con cept with all the se components working together and offering an outrageous func tion by matching perf ectly.

The Spark Concept is based on a multi- pivot technolo gy.

The damping performance was improved in comparison to the already famous “old” Spa rk, and with reworking also th e kinematics we were able to reach a better progressio n in the end of the stroke/travel of the swingarm.

The SCOT T system, n amed TC (Traction C ontrol) will allow you to reduce by remote control the rear wheel travel from 120 (27.5”)/10 0 (29”) mm to 85 (27.5”)/70(29”)mm including a more progressive spring rate but still offe ring a suppl e break a way.

No power will be lost and an optimum power transfer is guaranteed as the swingarm , in contrary to locked or autom atic-lockin g systems, c an follow the tra il surface and will offer perfect traction an d higher speed while standing on the pedals.

The hear t of the TC-System is the FOX Nude Shock, of fering three functions which make this system p ossible.

The TWIN LOC remote control lever is the evolution of the already o utstanding TRACLOC system of SCOTT.

While TRACLOC allowed only th e change on the SCOT T TC rear shocks between the SCOTT patented climb, traction and full- mode on the fly from the ha ndlebar, the TWINLOC a llows also the remote control of the front fork to shif t between lockout and ope n mode at the same time whe n you change th e modes on th e SCOT T rear shox .

In combination with SRA M/RockShox DNA 3 or FOX CT D forks it is also possible to have a traction mo de on the fork .

The 3 modes of C TCD in combin ation with FOX Nude are:

- Climb-out Mode: Climb rear, climb front

- Traction Mode: Traction mode rear, (incl . geometr y change and reduced travel), platform mo de front

- Descent Mode: Full travel rear, full travel front

The 3 modes of C TD in combi nation with FOX CTD are:

- Climb-out Mode: Climb rear, climb front

- Ride Mode: Platform(ride)mode rear, platform mode front

- Descent Mode: Full travel rear, full travel front

Therefore SCOT T offers 2 diffe rent TWI NLOC levers with following fork /rear shock combinations:

- FOX Nude with dif ferent rolls for FOX CTD fork and RockShox DNA 3 fork (SCOTT Article number: 230097)

- FOX CTD with different rolls for FOX CTD fork and RockShox DNA 3 fork (SCOTT Article number: 230098)

Please note that the FOX CTD rear shock does n ot offer a traction mode, but a ride mode, featuring a platform. In contrary to FOX Nude the air chamber volume of th e positive chamber remains the same throughout the different modes.

IMPORTANT!

You can only assem ble the TWINLOC remote lever in “left side upward positi on” on the handlebar.

You have 3 positions of the TWINLOC remote le ver.

1. CLIMB MODE: The shock is n early locke d; climbing on asphalt roads is now possible without any power loss. Simultaneous a blow-off-system prevent s the shock being damaged in case the rider did not ope n the system while crossing obstacles.

2. TRACTION MODE/RIDE MODE: For Traction: by reducing the internal chambe r volume inside the shock the travel of the shock will be reduced to around 80% (approx. 96/80mm) the characteristic of the air sprin g gets harder, the SAG is shorter a nd the geom etry steeper. This results in climbing without “bobbing” and of fers still optimum traction of the rear wheel . For Ride: by adding a platfor m on the compre ssion damping system the shock will not bounce while standing on the pedals.

3. DESCENT MODE: Full travel of 120/100mm (27. 5”/ 29” )

You will find the following positions o n the remote lever:

For the assem bly of the remote control of the front fork lock-out 2 different cable rolls which are changeable are existing .

The diffe rent roll for the p ull of the fork re mote cable c an be changed within few minutes to adapt the lever to your fork m odel/brand.

You will see on the downside of the roll the indication of th e fork brand or the fork model.

SCOTT offers 2 different TWINLOC levers with following fork/rear shock combinations:

- FOX Nude with dif ferent rolls for FOX CTD fork and RockShox DNA 3 fork (SCOTT Article number: 230097)

- FOX CTD with different rolls for FOX CTD fork and RockShox DNA 3 fork (SCOTT Article number: 230098)

Please ki ndly note t hat the c able roll of a RockS hox DNA3 or FOX C TD fork-lever is not inte rchang eable with the reg ular rolls of 2 step forks. You nee d to use another lever!

BASIC SET-UP OF THE TWINLOC REMOTE CONTROL OF FOX CTD SHOCK

SET-UP SPARK WITH FOX NUDE SHOCK

The assembly of the remote cable and the setup of the FOX CTD re ar shock is very similar to the abovementioned assemb ly and setup of th e FOX Nude.

For more details on the FOX CTD please follow th e details shown in the manuals of FOX attached to th is bike

RECOMMENDED TOOLS FOR THE SHOCK SET-UP

For the set-up of the shock we recommend to use a shock pump with a scale up to 20 bars/30 0 psi with a special air valve con nector preventing from air getting away while removing the pump from the shock valve , this will result in an exact air pressure.

The Set-Up of the FOX Nude or FOX CTD Shock can be e asy done within a few minutes .

IMPORTANT!

For all adjus tments of the air spring the remote lever has to be in position “alltravel”

To adjust the air pressure of the air chamber of the FOX Nude or FOX CTD Shock please refer to the following instruction:

1. Remove the valve cap of the valve (S5) located on the shock hou sing (S3).

2. Mount the sho ck pump with its adaptor on the valve

3. Please take into acco unt that it takes some air pres sure from inside the shock to drive the indic ator on the pum p. Make sure to balance at least this air loss when you make a check of the air pressure of the shock . Pls also note that the indic ators of shock pum ps have a tolerance of max. 10%

4. Please use the FOX iRD App available at the iTunes App store with following link:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fox-intelligent-ride-dynamics/ id549035102?mt=8 &ign-mpt=uo%3D4)

5. After downloading the app o n your mobile g ear please follow the steps shown in the app and inflate the shock according to the air pressure indicated .When you reached the needed pressure remove the pump and put the valve cap on the valve

Please note that air will flow into the hose and indicator when counterchecking the air pressure , so you have to set up again the recommended pressure after this action .

Make sure to bala nce at least th is air loss when you make a check of the air pressure of the shock . Please also note that the indicators of shock pumps have a tolerance of max. 10% .

SAG

The SAG should b e 10mm on th e shock piston.

To check the adjustm ent, please follow the below instructions:

1. Sit on the bike, put your feet on the pedals

2. Put your feet back on the ground and stand over the bike without b ouncing th e bike during this action

3. Check if the o-ring (S9) on the sho ck piston (S8) has a distance of 10mm to the main dust wiper/seal between shock housing and pisto n.

- if the distance between the o-ring a nd the main dust wiper/seal is 10mm, the air pressure is correct for your weight

- if the distance between the o-ring a nd the main dust wiper/seal is less th an 10mm , the air pressure of the air cha mber is too high and should be carefully reduced by using the ble ed knob of the shock pump until the distance is 10mm.

- if the distance between the main dust wiper/seal is greater than 10mm, the air pressure of the air chamber is too low and should be increased by using the shock pump until the distance is 1 0mm.

SET-UP OF REBOUND FOX NUDE OR FOX CTD SHOCK

“Rebou nd” desc ribes the speed the sho ck comes back to its original length af ter absorbing an obstacle.

By using the rebound adjuster knob (S 4) you can adjust the rebound step by ste p.

Please refer to the following instruction:

Ride your bike of f a pavement (remain in the saddle) and check how many times it bounces.

- If it bounces 1-2 times, the s et up is good.

- If it bounces more than 3 times the rebou nd is too fast. Turn the knob 1-2 “clicks ” clockwise

- If it does not b ounce the rebound is too slow. Turn the knob 1-2 “clicks” co unter clockwise.

IMPORTANT!

Note that you have to mount the FOX Nude Shock always as shown b elow.

Mounting th e rear shock i n a different position ca n cause severe d amage to the frame, the linkage levers and the rear shock.

Same for the FOX Float CTD and X-Fusion E1 sho ck on some of the Spark models.

IMPORTANT!

After a dismantlement of the rear shock, both fixing bolts should be tightened with a tightening torq ue of 10Nm/88in-lbs.

If this is not done correctly the rear shock can be damaged.

Please only use SCOT T shock bolts and follow the assembly instructions shown below:

Please on ly use the matchin g adjustment shims as t heir shape is des igned sp ecifically to fit with t he countersunk b olts.

SCOTT str ongly recommend s using o nly the FOX Nu de (FOX Float CTD /X-Fusion E1) Shock with the S park bike, as we designed both parts to be perfec tly matched with a linear susp ension rate.

Also on those shock mode ls the SAG should be 10mm.

For all basic steps on inflating the shock a nd adjusti ng the rebou nd please refer to the descripti on of the FOX Nude s et-up .

Other Shock Models on Spark

If you want to use a dif ferent rear shock mod el than the on e originally on the bike, please make sure that the sho ck will not in any position hit the frame and cause a damage to the frame.

Please follow the instruc tion below:

- Please make sure that the rear shock or its a ccessory parts do not touch the frame when mounting or suspending.

- For doing so release the air/remove the coil, install th e shock and compress the shock completely.

- If the shock touches the frame while doing so, do not u se this shock in order to avoid damage to frame, swing arm or shock.

Spark featu res different versions of headset systems .

A tapered headset and fork steerer s ystem to match with semi-i ntegrated headsets of the “50-61”mm range with ID of Headtub e of 44.0mm on top and 5 4.9mm on the lower end.

On Spark bikes equipped with the FOX Nude 3/FOX Float CTD sh ock you can adjust the BB height above ground in 2 positions by flipping a geometry chip located on the linkage bar shock mount.

Please note the max . tightening torque of 10Nm (88 in/lbs)

1. low BB for lower center of gravity over ground, slacker head angle

2. high BB for bigg er cleara nce between pedals/crank set and obstacles on the ground, steeper head angle

IMPORTANT!

It is not possible to use this geometry chip with other shock models than the FOX Nude /FOX Float CTD. The shock might collide with parts of the fram e or linka ge ba r.

Models originally equipped with another shock than the FOX Nude /FOX Float C TD will have a chip with a centered shock bolt hole.

On all Spark frames you will find a Shimano E-type f ront derailleur but fixed directly on the swingarm without the plate that is fixed normally between the bottom bra cket bearing cup and the bottom bracket housing of the front triang le or a SRAM D irect Mount Typ e S3 FD.

Please note that you always need to use the a dapter plate attached to the bike or fram e set between chainstay an d front derai ll eu r.

For details on the technical length of the recommen ded forks please refer to the Tech Info Chart before mentioned.

PIVOT MAINTENANCE

The pivot and be arings on S COTT Genius a re extremely e asy to maintain.

An external tre atment with a grease spray after every bike wash is all you have to do. We do not recomme nd heavy gre ase sprays since these will leave a film on the par ts which is difficult to remove. We reco mmend the same for the chain also.

If you have to change th e bearings you can order them inclu ded in a ser vice kit at your local S COTT dealer or buy them with international parts nu mber as shown above in the spec s list in a hardware store .

In case of a cha nge of the bea rings or of the rear swingarm you should co ntact your local SCOT T dealer as you nee d special tools for disas sembly an d assembly.
