As the name suggests the latter weighs just 55.2 g while having a 100 kg rider weight limit. Despite its looks the weight is just 80.3 g and I can tell you it feels quite ridiculous when you hold it in your hand. For us, it's the all new Spark 930. It was one of the first frames to cradle a sealed-bearing, trunnion-mount shock, which boosts sensitivity. The aim of the journal is to publish original papers on all branches of Geotechnical Engineering. The left side crank arm interface especially is a personal favorite aesthetic detail on the bike.

Dzialoszynski, M.S.S. The brake caliper has also been redesigned for weight savings and performance improvements. Free shipping on complete bike purchases (continental U.S. only). It looks weird from above, but enables Scott to maximise rigidity with a straighter, more continuous frame structure. This can be done without cutting cables or bleeding brakes. I know better than most since Ive been there myself with my Worlds Lightest 29ers a few years back. "Downcountry" rig? The entire range benefitted from our Evo-Lap technology. Both the B-knuckle and parallelogram come from Hopp, as do the carbon fiber pins replacing the steel pins usually holding the parallelogram itself together. Well, beyond the fact that it is fast, lightweight and ultra capable on all sorts of terrain, it's just damned good lookin'. But were getting all technical here. Its held in place by a Tune Wrger Skyline seat clamp, unfortunately not in production anymore, but one of my favorite components of all time. Short-travel trail bike? Running no quick release I could also remove the little plate and screw that holds the threaded axle insert in place, saving a couple of grams while also making it look a lot cleaner. Not only are they lightweight, they are actually extremely strong and provide enough wheel stiffness to make them suitable for enduro wheels too. All you must do is disassemble the bar, rotate the headset cups 180 degrees, and reassemble. A full suspension bike will never have success without, well, good suspension design. All screws are titanium Extralite and the wispy looking brake discs are an old set of Ashima Ai2. The new issue 44(3) presents articles by invited speakers at the PanAM Unsat 2021 held in July 2021 in Rio de Janeiro. FEA software enables us to create complete virtual prototypes incorporating all the physical phenomena that exist in real-world environments. No problem, your shock will continue to perform at its best regardless. Soils and Rocks is an international scientific journal published by the Brazilian Association for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ABMS) and by the Portuguese Geotechnical Society (SPG). It can even be had with padding, but we shall not speak about such blasphemous things in this weight weenie feature. Manuscripts submitted to Soils and Rocks cannot have already been published or submitted elsewhere. Adj. A standard top cap can sometimes help prevent headset play, and some manufacturers specifically state that a spacer of at least 1-3 mm must be installed on top of the stem. The same goes for complete stock bikes with price tags that would make even your favorite dentist think twice before buying. SYSTEM WEIGHT: 128 kgThe overall weight includes the bike, the rider, the equipment, and possible additional luggage. The aim of Soils and Rocks is to publish and disseminate basic and applied research in Geoengineering. *Scott Bicycles are in-store pick up only, NO SHIPPING*. We can also add much larger bearings to the seat tube pivot, further reinforcing this area and reducing any unnecessary motion.

When the parts were bonded together in the first prototypes, the result was a super light and compact frame without sacrificing the stiffness, comfort or impact resistance. Frame and fork Years later, we still believe that for technical cross-country racing and fast, punchy singletrack it is the best approach. Maybe its a time you really want to beat on a trail section or maybe youve set a goal to one day lift a certain amount of weight at the gym. XC race rig morphs into 20mm-more-travel trail ripper. While the 12-speed NX Eagle drivetrain has good range, SRAMs cranks can flex under hard loads and the NX cassette is a noticeable weight on the rear wheel. And technical things like that aside, perhaps you prefer a heavier bike. With our Evo-Lap technology we model the frame to optimize the surface area, simulate tube structures with different ply orientations, observe the results of using different configurations, and test the stress distribution in different areas of the frame. Accessibility is important to us. What first catches your eyes is perhaps the quite massive looking stem. With the proper selection of materials, eighty percent of the work to create a frame is done. Also, that includes some 70 grams of beautiful red paint. Treating it too roughly reveals that the chassis is a bit less stiff and solid though, especially up front.

To push it below 8kg, on the other hand, is downright difficult. But either way I still wish you all could test ride a bike this light because it sure doesnt really compare to anything else. The 930s geometry and silky suspension deliver the confidence to hit big jumps from the off.

Scott: Contessa Scale 930 - 2022
Theyre then removed and replaced with the plug that weighs just a single gram. The Maxxis Rekon tyres are the dual- (rather than triple) compound version and roll fast, but lack friction on damp surfaces compared to something like a Forekaster, which was also on test. You have a lot of initial punch, but to no big surprise they heat up quickly so if you plan on doing some really long descents you better not drag your brakes. In fairness, though, the next Spark up addresses these issues and is still a good price. Here he shares the details of his latest weight weenie outing a jawdroppingly lightweight Scott Spark full suspension mountain bike. When you think of the perfect mountain bike, what comes to mind? Free shipping on orders over $50 (contiguous U.S. only). The journal was originally published by the Graduate School of Engineering of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. The cluttered handlebar (due to the remote set-up) makes it quite awkward to activate the dropper to shift the saddle and let you adapt to the terrain while pedalling dynamically, too. From the first time we rode the Sparks single pivot layout we fell in love. This allows us to keep a very lightweight system while still ensuring optimal suspension performance. The bike is of course prepared to run one though, and while the rigid Schmolke post will be used most of the time the bike would still be very lightweight with one. The front- and rear-specific treads give good traction and cornering grip for most conditions and they have been setup tubeless with Syncros sealant. Well, beyond the fact that it is fast, lightweight and ultra capable on all sorts of terrain, it's just damned good lookin'. The important thing is to find the right shell shape for you, and a carbon seat has the benefit of way less friction between your bibs and the seat itself.

Scotts Spark 930 is a steeper seat angle and few parts shy of fast-and-furious trail bike perfection, GBP 3,199.00 RRP What we want to avoid are any inefficient directional movements, in other words, lateral movements (sideways to the direction of travel) as the shock goes through its compression. You get neat cable routing, plus room for big 2.6in rubber out back, which translates to excellent mud clearance for normal tyres. Scott has specced the shorter-offset version (44mm) to increase trail, which acts as a steering stabiliser. In the firmest of the three TwinLoc settings it completely locks out, along with the rear shock. In fact, the 60mm stem and shorter fork offset combine to dull the steering to the point Id prefer a more reactive feel. They still keep their trademark smooth and light lever feel and with carbon clamps from Hopp the set weighs a mere 323.2g.

Additionally, the shock is fully protected from any foreign elements. At least if you want it to actually ride well, and to me theres no point otherwise. For this reason, our choice of the most advanced carbon fibers in the market is followed by intensive use of specific tools, like FEA (finite element analysis) software, to map out the carbon lay-up.

Using a flex pivot in the seat stay is an ideal solution for bikes in this travel range. Cable housing can also be a hidden weight saver, and here I use a version with an aluminum core instead of steel. Mick is also a talented photographer, taking images for BikeRadar and MBUK magazine among others. Its a Schmolke TLO in 80 mm and its box section design helps the stiffness to weight ratio. The cost to weight saving ratio is probably even worse than you can imagine, but it does save a few grams.
