It makes the spring rate more linear as the bikes suspension system naturally ramps up.Ģ. It has an extra volume (XV) air can to lower the compression ratio to 2.4 rather than 3.0 with the standard (STD) air can. I left a basic Fox RP23 with him and he made some thorough changes.ġ. Simon Glanville the Fox Service Technician at Sola Sport in Sydney, knows the action of the Scott Spark, and the racing I was using my bike for. So it was suggested that I try a custom Fox rear shock. But the open position was either too plush to be responsive, or too firm if the pressure was increased. The DT Swiss M210 rear shock just didn’t ride the same though. They were quite active, had plenty of travel available when needed, but could be locked out or made firmer right from the bars. I really liked how the previous Sparks I owned rode. However, previous models had used the DT Nude shock, which could be open, in ‘Traction Control’ or locked out. This unit comes with a lockout lever, which I had always found very useful on previous Scott Sparks that I owned. The mid range carbon Spark 29er came fitted with a DT Swiss M210 rear shock. The build kit remained the same, with a Shimano XTR group set, NoTubes ZTR Crest rims to Shimano and Dt Swiss Hubs, and a Fox 32 Float 29 Terralogic. In May, I switched from racing a Scott Scale 29er Premium hard tail frame, to a Scott Spark 29er Expert frame. Although many bike manufacturers go to great lengths to make sure they specify the right rear suspension unit for a dual suspension bike, an amount of custom tuning may still be beneficial.
Getting a suspension unit, be it fork or shock, dialled for your bike and riding style isn’t something that you should take for granted.
