The Spark Concept is based on a new designed multipivot technology. Scott’s focus was not only on lightweight but also on a durable 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 MC). Spark was designed for riders looking for a dual suspended race and marathon bike offering a maximum rear wheel travel of 110mm. In combination with the linear shock characteristics the chain tension will be reduced and doing so the pedaling will not influence function or movement of the rear swingarm. The Scott system, named TC (Traction Control) will allow you to reduce by remote control the rear wheel travel from 110mm to 70mm 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. Scott does not see frame, rear shock and kinematics 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.

By using the TRAC- LOC remote lever you can chose following functions: 1. ALL TRAVEL MODE: full travel of 110mm 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: [1] Please note that you can only assemble the TRACLOC remote lever in “left side upward position” on the handlebar. You have 3 positions of the TRAC-LOC remote lever. - most forward position: LOCK OUT - middle position: TRACTION MOEDE 2. TRACTION MODE: by reducing the internal chamber volume inside the shock the travel of the shock will be reduced to around 60% (approx. 70mm) the characteristic of the air spring gets harder. This results in climbing without “bobbing” and offers still optimum traction of the rear wheel. - most backward position: ALL TRAVEL MODE ENGLISH Change the modes by pushing the lever with your fingers frontward and release them by tapping the release button (one mode per push/release) DEUTSCH 1 L3 LOCK OUT MODE L1 FRANÇAIS TRACTION MODE ALL TRAVEL MODE L2 LOCK OUT MODE L4 remote lever 04 05 TRACTION MODE ALL TRAVEL MODE BASIC SET-UP OF THE TRAC-LOC REMOTE CONTROL OF NUDE TC SHOCK NUDE TC SHOCK AND TRAC-LOC REMOTE CONTROL LEVER 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 set-up. To ensure perfect function of the Nude TC shock it is very important to follow the steps shown below exactly S4 S6 S5 S2 1 thread in cable along the groove and pull it tight gently 2 press the release lever twice whilst still pulling the cable to set the lockout-lever into the "open" position 3 Thread in the cable... 4 ...make it stepping out along the piggy back 5 Unmount the M4 headless screw.

The Set-Up of the Scott Nude TC Shock can be easy done within a few minutes. The SAG should be 5mm on the shock piston. To check the adjustment, please follow as shown below: Important: For all adjustments of the air spring the remote lever has to be in position “all travel”. To adjust the air pressure of the positive chamber of the Scott Nude TC Shock please refer to the following instruction: 1. Remove the valve cap of the valve (S6) located on the shock housing (S4). 2. Mount the shock pump with its adaptor on the valve 3. Pls take into account that it takes some air pressure from inside the shock to drive the indicator on the pump. Make sure to balance at least this air loss when you make a check of the air pressure of the shock. Pls also note that the indicators of shock pumps have a tolerance of max. 10% “Rebound” describes the speed the shock comes back to its original length after absorbing an obstacle. 1. Sit on the bike, put your feet on the pedal By using the red rebound screw (S6) you can adjust the rebound step by step. 2. Put your feet back on the ground and stand over the bike without bouncing the bike during this action Please refer to the following instruction: 3. Check if the o-ring on the shock piston has a distance of 5mm to the main dust wiper/seal between shock housing and piston. - if the distance between the o-ring and the main dust wiper/seal is less than 5mm, the air pressure of the air chamber is too high and should be carefully reduced by using the bleed knob of the shock pump until the distance is 5mm. - if the distance between the main dust wiper/seal is bigger than 5mm, the air pressure of the air chamber is too low and should be increased by using the shock pump until the distance is 5mm. 4. Pump the recommended pressure into the shock. On the inner side of the left seatstays you will find a table showing the recommended air pressure of the positive chamber according to the rider’s weight. Ride your bike off a pavement (remain in the saddle) and check how many times it bounces. - 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 screw 1-2 “clicks” clockwise - If it does not bounce the rebound is too slow. Turn the screw 1-2 “clicks” counter clockwise. DEUTSCH 5. When you reached the needed pressure remove the pump and put the valve cap on the valve 5mm FRANÇAIS Please note that air will flow into the hose and indicator when counterchecking the air pressure, so you have to set up again the recommended pressure after this action. SET-UP OF REBOUND NUDE TC SHOCK ENGLISH RECOMMENDED TOOLS FOR THE SHOCK SET-UP 10 11 In case you want even more detailed figures of air pressure or tuning hints, you can download a program under www.scott-sports.com as a MS Excel file. SET-UP OF OTHER SHOCK MODELS: SCOTT SEALED CABLE ROUTING: MECHANICS HINT Scott strongly recommends using only the originally assembled Shock with the Spark bike, as we designed both parts for a perfect matching combination. The direct and straight cable system on all our full suspension models allows Smart Cable Routing which is very resistant against water and dirt. The outer housing of the cables can also be fixed on the bottle cage with cable fixers, the two brackets below the cage are not needed anymore.. For further set up instructions on those shocks please follow the manuals of the shock producers attached to the bike. To change the cables simply unscrew and open the cable brackets on the downtube. If you want to use a different rear shock model than the one originally on the bike, please make sure that the shock will not in any position hit the frame and cause a damage to the frame. Please follow the instruction below: Please make sure that the rear shock or its accessory parts do not touch the frame when mounting or suspending. If the shock touches the frame while doing so, do not use this shock in order to avoid damage to frame, swingarm or shock. FRANÇAIS DEUTSCH Mounting the rear shock in a different position can cause severe damages to the frame, the linkage levers and the rear shock. For doing so release the air/remove the coil, install the shock and compress the shock completely. ENGLISH Important: Note that you have to mount the Scott Nude TC Shock always as shown underneath. Important: After a dismantlement of the rear shock, both fixing bolts should be tightened with a tightening torque of 5Nm/44in-lbs. If this is not done correctly the rear shock can be damaged. 12 13 ADJUSTMENT OF SEATPOST-HEIGHT The seatpost of the Scott Spark needs to be cut and adjusted to the personal seat height of the rider. The seatpost has to be inserted into the seattube at a minimum of 100mm. The tool to do so is added to your Spark and will help to cut properly without any risk of damaging your seat tube. Never use another seatpost diameter than 34.9mm or try to use a shim/reducer between seatpost and frame. To do so, pls follow the instructions given below: In case your bike is equipped with an integrated seatpost pls follow the instructions below to cut the seattube to your personal length. 1. Take the exact measure of the distance (d1) from the mid of axle of your pedal to the upper side of the saddle you use already on your “old” bike which is exactly adjusted to your seat position. Your Spark seat clamp allows you to vary the seat height for fine adjustment of +/- 10mm. For the cutting, position your seat clamp as low as possible and measure the distance (d2) from the mid of the pedal axle to the upper side of the saddle. Remove the seat clamp and measure the distance (l) from the top of the seat tube: l = d2 – d1 FRANÇAIS DEUTSCH Important: pls note that the change to another saddle or pedal model might influence a lot the length of the seat tube! 2. Mount your pedals and saddle on the Spark bike. Fix the saddle with the M5 screws (4mm Allen key) by using a tightening torque of 5Nm (44 in-lbs). ENGLISH Important: integrated seatpost standard seatpost 14 15 The pivot and bearings on SCOTT Spark are extremely easy to maintain. In case the replaceable hanger is damaged by a crash or accident you can order at your local Scott dealer the replacement part with Scott article number 206473 An external treatment with a grease spray after every bike wash is all you have to do. We do not recommend heavy grease sprays since these will leave a film on the parts which is difficult to remove. We recommend the same for the chain also. 8. Remount the seat clamp in its middle adjustment position (15mm over the top of the seat tube), fix the 2 M5 screws of the seat clamp (4mm Allen key) with a tightening torque of 5Nm (44 in-lbs) If you have to change the bearings you can order them included in a service kit at your local SCOTT dealer or buy them with international parts number as shown above in the specs list in a hardware store. In case of a change of the bearings or of the rear swingarm you should contact your local SCOTT dealer as you need special tools for disassembly and assembly ENGLISH 5. Fix the two 5mm bolts with a 4mm Allen key with a tightening torque of 6 Nm (53 in-lbs). 7. Cut the tube, remove the tool and take sandpaper to smoothen the edges of the cutting area. On Spark bikes of model year 07 you can replace the rear derailleur hanger. FRONT FORK SET-UP / CHANGE OF FRONT FORK For the set up of the front fork please use the fork specific manual attached to the bike. We recommend using front forks with a travel of 100mm, as this will not influence the geometry and alter handling of the bike. DEUTSCH 4. Slide the Spark Cutting Tool on the seat tube of Spark until the line of the marker is visible in the slot on the tool that will guide your saw blade. 6. Take a saw with a blade for cutting metal. Pllease only use a 10D/24T teeth blade to make sure not to damage the carbon tube PIVOT MAINTENANCE: FRANÇAIS 3. Indicate the length (l) you want to cut on the seat tube with a marker pen.
