SPARK CONCEPT GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL DATA SPARK 650B/27.5” 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, FOX Nude 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.
GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL DATA SPARK 29” Travel SHOCK TECHNOLOGY The heart of the TC-System is the FOX Nude Shock, offering three functions which make this system possible. 100/70/0mm Suspension Ratio 2.63 Piston stroke 38mm Shock length (Eye to Eye) 165mm Hardware Mainframe 22,2mm x 8mm Hardware Swingarm 22.2mm x 8mm Seatpost diameter 31.6mm Headset semi integr. for tapered 1 1/8-1.5 (44/54.9mm inner diameter of frame) or with 1 1/8 straight (44.
You have 3 positions of the TWINLOC remote lever. 1. CLIMB MODE: The shock is nearly 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. 2. TRACTION MODE/RIDE MODE: For Traction: by reducing the internal chamber volume inside the shock the travel of the shock will be reduced to around 80% (approx.
ASSEMBLY OF THE REMOTE CABLE FOX NUDE SHOCK AND TWINLOC REMOTE CONTROL LEVER SRAM/ROCKSHOX FORKS In the drawing of the shock and remote lever, shown below, you will see the parts indicated with numbers which will be used in the manual for the adjustment and setup. •• IMPORTANT! Please make sure the lockout of SRAM/RockShox or FOX fork is activated after transport correctly. Therefore please compress fork 5-10 times before following the manual on remote cable installation and adjustment.
BASIC SET-UP OF THE TWINLOC REMOTE CONTROL OF FOX NUDE SHOCK 3. tighten the cable and fix the cablefixing screw (S7) by turning it clockwise with a 2mm allen key and a max. tightening torque of 1.6Nm. To ensure the FOX Nude shock functions perfectly, it is very important to strictly follow the below steps. On Spark Carbon frames you will find an internal cable routing.
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 rear shock is very similar to the abovementioned assembly and setup of the FOX Nude. The Set-Up of the FOX Nude or FOX CTD Shock can be easy done within a few minutes.
SAG Please refer to the following instruction: Ride your bike off a pavement (remain in the saddle) and check how many times it bounces. The SAG should be 10mm on the shock piston. -- If it bounces 1-2 times, the set up is good. -- If it bounces more than 3 times the rebound is too fast. Turn the knob 1-2 “clicks” clockwise To check the adjustment, please follow the below instructions: 1. Sit on the bike, put your feet on the pedals 2.
SET-UP OF OTHER SHOCK MODELS SCOTT strongly recommends using only the FOX Nude (FOX Float CTD /X-Fusion E1) Shock with the Spark bike, as we designed both parts to be perfectly matched with a linear suspension rate. Also on those shock models the SAG should be 10mm. Ritchey WCS Carbon Zero Tapered PF 50-61mm 18mm UD PRD 13636 Ritchey PRO Tapered PF 50-61mm 12.
•• ADJUSTABLE BB HEIGHT IMPORTANT! On Spark bikes equipped with the FOX Nude 3/FOX Float CTD shock you can adjust the BB height above ground in 2 positions by flipping a geometry chip located on the linkage bar shock mount. 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 frame or linkage bar.
SPARK CABLE ROUTING The direct and straight cable system on all our full suspension models offers perfect shifting performance combined with lightweight and high resistance against water and dirt. Push the cables through the cable guide as shown below and fix the cable guide on the downtube with a 3mm allen key and a tightening torque of max. 4Nm/35in/lbf.
For the rear brake please assemble the cable as shown in the following drawings: Please keep in mind to have a minimum distance of 40mm between the brake hose and the BB housing as abovementioned! Use the plastic guide to fix the brake cable For the rear brake please assemble the cable as shown in the following diagrams: Please remember to maintain a minimum distance of 40mm between the brake hoses and the BB housing as mentioned previously! Use the plastic guide to fix the brake cable The cable guide c
ADJUSTMENT OF SEATPOST-HEIGHT REAR DISC BRAKE MOUNT Spark can be used with 3 different disc rotor sizes on the rear brake. •• IMPORTANT! The seatpost has to be inserted into the seattube at a minimum of 100mm. Never use another seatpost diameter than 31.6mm or try to use a shim/reducer between seatpost and frame. Please note that for the assembly of 180 and 185mm rotors you may need adapters/ washers between the PM port on the frame and the brake calliper.
