IMPORTANT!
SCOTT Spark is designed around the BOOST platform so many of the fitted parts: cranks/
wheels/dropouts/forks differ from traditional cycle parts. Always consult your authorized
SCOTT dealer for advice on replacing or repairing any part of your SCOTT bike!

TWINLOC
The TWINLOC system offers simultaneous control of the front and rear shocks with a single
lever allowing the ride of the bike to be adjusted at the flick of a finger.
The 3 basic functions of TWINLOC system are:
-
Climb-out Mode:
Climb rear / climb front
-
Traction Mode:
Traction mode rear / platform mode front
-
Descent Mode:
Full travel rear / full travel front
You can only assemble the “standard” TWINLOC remote lever in “left side upward position”
on the handlebar (this is usually fitted on bikes with x2 front chainrings.)
On bikes with x1 chainring on the front the under bar TWINLOC remote lever in “left side
downward” position can be fitted as standard.
It is possible to change the TWINLOC lever to the underbar option if the bikes gears have
been changed to x1 system, a new alternative lever will be required for this adjustment;
please consult your local SCOTT dealer for more information on obtaining the correct lever
for you bike.
There are 3 positions of the TWINLOC remote lever.
1.
CLIMB MODE:
The shock is nearly locked; climbing on asphalt roads is now possible with little power loss.
A simultaneous blow-off-system prevents the shock being damaged in case the rider does
not open the system while crossing obstacles.
2.
TRACTION MODE:
By reducing the internal chamber volume inside the shock the travel of the shock will
be reduced, the characteristic of the air spring gets harder this results in climbing with
reduced “bobbing” and offers still optimum traction of the rear wheel.
3.
DESCENT MODE:
Full travel of the front and rear shocks.
You will find the following positions on the remote lever:

BASIC SET-UP OF SHOCK & FORKS
Recommended tools for the shock setup:
-
The SAG tool that came with your bike.
-
A shock pump with a dial up to 20bars/300psi with a special air valve connector (not
supplied with this bike), this will help stop air from escaping while removing the pump
from the shock valve.
Please note that air will flow into the hose and indicator when counterchecking the air
pressure, this will give the appearance that the shock has less air pressure then it was setup,
your shock may need to be adjusted once this action is made.
Please also note that the indicators of shock pumps have a tolerance of max. 10%.
For bikes spec’d with Fox shock and forks:
