Lock-out: Scott's Twinloc remote lockout system controls the compression damper with 3 settings: Lockout- Traction Control- Descend. The shock worked flawlessly and felt super smooth in all conditions.
Shock: The Fox Nude DPS shock was relatively easy to setup using the plastic clip-on sag meters that came with the bike. The fork tracked well with sufficient stiffness to remain true even through rough sections. The benefit of this is a stiffer wheel, great clearance for big tyres, and the ability to tweak the wheel position to shorten the chainstay length.įork: The 120mm Fox 34 Float Performance is a good match for the capabilities of the Scott Spark. The new Scott Spark also incorporates Boost 148 axle spacing into the frame design with the forks fitted also having the Boost 110 axle spacing. These figures are firmly in line with most modern trail bikes. Our Large test bike had a 67.2 degree head tube angle with a 460 mm reach and 438 mm chainstays. A slacker head angle improves handling on the descents as the fork is better placed to absorb impacts and is less likely to see the rider topple over the handlebars. Riders now have more room in the cockpit allowing for a shorter stem and more direct steering. With the new Spark platform, Scott have embraced modern geometry with a longer bike and slacker angles.
Practically, this means better small bump absorption with some support in the middle of the travel and the ability to soak up the bigger hits without needlessly bottoming out. Scott say that all these changes to the suspension design have allowed them to follow the modern trend of a softer initial travel with support ramping up progressively through the stroke. To assist the rear end when the suspension compresses, Scott have placed part of the brake mount on the wheel axle. This means reduced weight and easier maintenance. The previous design had 18 parts, while the new Spark has only three. Scott have designed the new rear triangle to have fewer parts.
A downside of the rocker link design is that there is now space for just one bottle cage. This means a smaller shock allowing engineers to create a more compact suspension design without out losing any shock stroke. A metric shock with Trunnion mounts is used on the Spark range. The design remains a single pivot but with a rocker link instead of the previous top link, which means a lighter top tube. The shock is now vertically mounted to the bottom bracket area. Visually, the most obvious change is to the suspension. The Scott Spark frame has seen major changes to the suspension design, geometry, and the adoption of the Boost axle standard. We tested the Scott Spark 940 which is the top specced 29er aluminium model. In South Africa, the in stock range will favour the 29” models. Both the Spark and Spark RC are available as 29” (900 models) or 27.5” (700 models). The Scott Spark model lined up is 120 mm with modern trail inspired geometry.
#SCOTT SPARK PLUS#
The trail focussed Scott Spark Plus features 2.8" tyres and boasts a 130 mm fork. Jenny Rissveds and Nino Schurter rode this bike to gold in Rio. And to the person relentlessly pretending to be Mason, ultra ultra ultra creepy.The all-new Scott Spark platform will be used on three distinct models (with very similar names it can get confusing): The Scott Spark RC is a 100 mm aggressive cross-country bike. Stop using it for the benefit of your slow news day please and thank you. Shutting down the claims made by the fake account, Kourtney took to her social media and wrote, "To any and all “news” outlets who use that false account as a source, you know better. Not only that, but recently a fake account in the name of Kourtney Kardashian's son Mason Disick also claimed that Kylie was set to tie the knot with Travis. The couple recently sparked engagement rumours as well after Jenner was seen rocking a massive ring on her finger.
Recently, Travis and Kylie have been hitting headlines for several reasons. Kylie's comment left fans confused as they wondered if she was hinting at something or if it was a playful comment.
#SCOTT SPARK SERIES#
Leaving a comment on Scott's post, the beauty mogul dropped a series of pregnant emojis. While Travis' fans had only one thing to ask the rapper as they requested him to drop his new album at the earliest, Kylie had something else on her mind and it was her comment that drew everyone's attention. It all started with Scott's new post which featured him posing outdoors as he wrote in the caption, "Got there in a New York minute." The duo who are already parents to daughter Stormi Webster recently sparked speculations about a third baby with their recent social media interaction. Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott became parents for the second time as they welcomed a son earlier this year.
