The Spark 20 is a full suspension HMF carbon fiber bike with a Shimano XT/ SLX drivetrain and brakes that is the perfect partner for marathons, stage races, and all day fun.
DIRECT POST MOUNT
We’ve saved even more weight by eliminating bulky brake hardware for mounting the rear caliper and integrated a direct post mount
to the chain stay. This mounting position also decreases the load the brakes apply to the swingarm parts.
TAPERED HEADTUBE
The Spark features a tapered head tube for increased stiffness, safety, confidence, and control.
ADJUSTABLE BB HEIGHT
The Spark employs an adjustable geometry by way
of a shock mount chip in the linkage. By changing the shock mount chip, simply removing it and flipping it in either mounting position, you affect the bottom bracket height by 7mm, which also affects the head tube angle by 0.5 degrees. The Spark is the only XC/ Marathon bike on the market that offers this feature.
IDS SL DROPOUT SYSTEM
Interchangeable and lightweight, the
IDS-SL dropout system works with
142x12mm, 135x12mm and 135x5mm QR
rear axle standards. Shred the turns more
aggressively and with enhanced control,
because the rear end is laterally stiff.
ROCK SHOX DNA3 SYSTEM
A brand new feature and the collaboration of SCOTT and RockShox is the DNA3 system. This
allows the extension of TwinLoc’s three unique shock modes to the fork. Previously, the TwinLoc
controlled the travel settings only of the shock, with the ability to lockout both the shock and
fork. Now with the remote TwinLoc lever, you can not only lock shock and fork, both you can
also control the traction mode or full mode of both shock and fork with a simple flick of the
switch. The Spark is the only bike on the market that offers this adjustment and it comes on all
models, 26” and 29”, that are equipped with the Nude2 shock.
INUDE2™ SHOCK
The Nude2 is a completely new shock with an improved air spring and damping system. The shock possesses a more progressive damping curve and mode sensitive damping than its predecessor. This means that both travel modes have separate damper settings relative to their travel length and effective forces. When collecting data for the Spark project, we also calculated rider input data, including forces such as the rider’s gyro- scoping pedal stroke and its’ effects on the suspension. We simulated a rider’s pedaling and jerky motions made to clear obstacles, and measured their influence on the suspension. Many other designs assume that a rider is static and coasting, or they only include acceleration forces on the suspension and drivetrain. We are more concentrated on suspending the movement of the rider instead of negating pedaling forces.
TWINLOC LEVER SYSTEM
Our patented Twin Loc technology now offers simultaneous control of rear shock travel and fork lockout. The open position allows full travel, front and rear. One click switches the rear shock to Traction mode, while the fork remains fully active. Click again and rear shock and fork lock at the same time. No other bike in the world offers this user friendly system. Found on the Spark & Genius and Genius LT models.
