SPARK CONCEPT
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, Scott Nude 2 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 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 (26”)/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 (26”)/100 (29”)mm to 85 (26”)/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.

TC SHOCK TECHNOLOGY/TWINLOC LEVER
The heart of the TC-System is the new developed Scott Nude 2 Shock made by DT
Swiss, offering three functions which make this system possible.
The TWINLOC remote control lever is the evolution of the already outstanding
TRACLOC system of Scott.
While TRACLOC allowed only the change on the Scott TC rear shocks between the
Scott patented Lock-out, traction and full-mode on the fly from the handlebar, the
TWINLOC allows also the remote control of the front fork to shift between lock-out
and open mode at the same time when you change the modes on the Scott rear shox.
In combination with SRAM/RockShox DNA 3 forks it is also possible to have a traction
mode on the fork. This is made exclusively for Scott.
The 3 modes on the lever and suspension units are:
- ALL TRAVEL MODE: Full travel rear, full travel front
- TRACTION MODE: Traction mode rear, full travel front (with SRAM/RockShox
DNA 3 fork: traction mode)
- LOCK-OUT MODE: Lock-out rear, lock-out front
Therefore Scott offers 3 different TWINLOC/Nude 2 levers with following fork/rear
shock combinations:
- Nude 2 with SRAM DNA 3 fork ( Scott Article number: 223298)
- Nude 2 with adapters for SRAM /RockShox fork and FOX fork/DT Swiss fork
(Scott Article number: 216351)
- DT M210 with adapters for SRAM /RockShox fork and FOX fork/DT Swiss fork
(Scott Article number: 216352)
Please note that the DT Swiss M210 rear shock does not offer a traction mode, but only
lock-out and full-mode.
You have 3 positions on the TWINLOC remote lever.
- most forward position: ALL TRAVEL MODE
- middle position: TRACTION MODE
- most backward position: LOCK-OUT MODE
By using the TWINLOC remote lever you can chose following functions:
1. ALL TRAVEL MODE: full travel of 120/100mm (26”/29”)
2. TRACTION MODE: by reducing the internal chamber volume inside the
shock the travel of the shock will be reduced to around
60% (approx. 85/70mm) 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:

IMPORTANT:
You can only assemble the TWINLOC remote lever in “left side upward position” on
the handlebar.

ENGLISH
For the assembly of the remote control of the front fork lock-out 3 different cable
systems are existing.
The different roll for the pull of the fork remote cable can be changed within few
minutes to adapt the lever to your fork model/brand.
You will see on the downside of the roll the indication of the fork brand or the fork
model.
For RockShox forks Scott offers 2 different levers.
1. For regular 2 position fork in lockout and full-mode with a red colored roll with
Scott article number: 216351
2. For forks with DNA mode made exclusively for Scott with a traction mode option
also on the fork with an blue colored roll with a “DNA3” logo on the roll with Scott
article number: 223298
The remote cable assembly is the same on both versions, please refer to the
description shown below after the explanation of the change of the rolls between
different fork brands.
Please kindly note that the cable roll of a DNA3 fork-lever is not interchangeable
with the regular rolls of 2 step forks. You need to use another lever!
To change the rolls to match another fork brand pls follow the drawings below:
