GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL DATA SPARK RC 27.5"

SPARK CONCEPT

The Spark has the most succe ssful pedigree of any cross- country full suspension bike
ever made. At les s than 1749 grams with rear shock, the top of th e line model is one of
the lightest full suspensio n frames available on the market. The new platform was not only
designed to provide a lighter and stiffer frame, but also to optimize kinematics. The bike
includes a h ost of minute, exquisitely detailed smart techn ical solutions which combine to
make it one of the best overall full suspension cross country packages of all time.

The SCOT T Spark RC 700 series was enginee red with incredibly light materials. With
a combined we ight of 1749 grams, its f rame inclu ding shock is o ne of the lightest f ull
suspensio n rig to date. Meetin g our requirements for stif fness values and applying the
Boost standard to our race bike family, our engineers designed the Spark RC series with a
dedicated , no-co mpromise race target group in mind. The benchmark weight was not only
achieved by utilizing the lightest car bon fibers, but also thanks to our intelligent carbo n lay­up process.

Our historic expertise of carbon engineering is just one element that allows us to create such
light frame s. Utilizing a mix of new high-end carbo n fibers is another. Our HMX-SL Spark
frame utilizes th e strongest and lightest filaments to date. O ur choice of the m ost advance d
carbon fibers is followed by intensive use of specific tools, like FE A (Finite Element Analysis)
software , to map out the carbon lay-up. With our proprietary EvoLap -Technology, we can
simulate different forces on a virtual frame model an d adjust fra me construction accordin gly;
this allows us to build h ighly technic al frames.

When we designed the all new S park, we had o ne goal in min d: create the ultimate full­suspensio n Cross-Co untry bike. C omparing the old and the n ew Spark, we’ve moved from a
single pivot top link design to a single pivot rocker link layout with a Trunnio n shock mount.
Refined suspension characteristics were one of our m ain intentions . We created a system
that offers sensitive characteristics at th e beginnin g of the travel, the perfect support from
sag point onwards plus an optimized end progression. The new Spark furthermore has a
higher main pivot position to offer the most ef ficient pe daling characteristics .

The new platform enable d us to realize everything you could want f rom modern full­suspensio n geometr y- a slacker head angle for maximum stability, shorter chain stays for
agile handling and lower stand over height /center of gravity for a more planted feel . We
designed it with a low stack for an o ptimized race fit and with a long reach with shorter
stem options for the same fit and better han dling. A stee per seat tube offers more balanced
weight distrib ution and bet ter power transfer. With a large numbe r of riders and a wide
range of uses in mind, we develo ped no- compromise s, high per formance g eometry- a
modern interpretation of what progressive race rs and riders need.
