Scott (Switzerland) - The new SCOTT E-Spark 710 Plus not only looks like a stealth fighter, it also rides like one.

Finding Flow:
"Trails seam sometimes to be far away and inaccessible, either because of a lack of time or steep, long, uninspiring climbs. But when you finally reach this kind of trail, we all know the payoff. We believe the fun shouldn’t be just for the downhill but should be part of the whole ride. The e-spark and its engine assist, changes the game, now the climbs are as playful and inspired as the downs."

Design and Integration:
To take advantage of everything that comes from a perfect integration of the parts, we’ve reconsidered the design of the engine housing with the Shimano components in mind. The goal was to reduce the impact of these parts on the design of the bike. As a result the engine and frame are well integrated, not only from a design perspective but also offering a better distribution of mass... As a consequence, this represents an important benefit for general handling.

Boost technology:


The Boost Technology results in increased wheel stiffness and improved tire clearance. On the Spark project, Scott wanted to go beyond the basics and reap all the benefits of this innovation by optimizing frame design and geometry.

Twin Loc:


Twin Loc system offers the most efficient bike handling in any riding situation. It gives the rider the option to choose between 3 modes for different geometry and settings. The climb mode allows for real lockout, ideal for smooth climbing with maximum efficiency. The traction control mode provides front suspension with full travel but firmer damping while the rear suspension has reduced travel. This mode also changes the geometry to have a better pedaling position. In descend mode, the suspension is fully active front and rear and offers full travel.

Geometry:


Compared to the old Spark the head tube angle is almost 1.5 degrees slacker for more secure riding on the steeps. The chainstay length that was 488mm on the previous bike has been drastically decreased and now measures 448mm, the value is almost aligned with the Spark (438mm).
