Hey Guys
I'm just having a look around at some new bike options and have had the Scott Spark put in front of me. http://www.scott-sports.com/global/en/products/233969008/bike-spark-720-l/
My last 2 bikes have been 100mm floating pivot designs i.e. Giant Anthem 26er and Santa Cruz Blur XCC 650B conversion. I've wanted a longer travel bike now I have a hardtail in the shed again.
The linkage setup on the Scott just seems like a simple single pivot design and I'm wondering if its anywhere near as efficient or confidence inspriing as I have found VPP or does the tri lock system make up for any misgivings?
The bike is intended as my XC/Trail bike as I've now got the 27.5 Hardtail for serious race duties.
Opinions will be valued and if you are looking for a Carbon Blur XC let me know.
