dev null Posted June 17, 2012 Share Has anyone looked at the new 2013 Scott Spark 29? Apparently will have a lot more techno-wizardry built in. Opinions please. Is it worth saving money for this? http://www.bikerumor.com/2012/05/20/fox-unveils-2013-icd-electronic-suspension-remote-system-more/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BergForce Posted June 17, 2012 Share At last Scott wakes up and dumps Dt Swiss. In my opinion it is a worthy bike with Fox suspension, but will the lower end models also be Fox equipped? It also looks very high tech with the gadgets on the rear shock and down tube, not sure if I like this....ok I don`t like it.

Is it worth saving money for this? http://www.bikerumor...te-system-more/ well one thing i can say for sure is you wont be able to fix it with some duct tape and Q20. and would hate to know the result of sending it in for a service with mechanics that dont have electrical engineering degrees lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsbeetle Posted June 17, 2012 Share Hmm ...a bad fall or cable gets hooked in something and bang goes your suspension ? Will be interesting to see how reliable it is. Edited June 17, 2012 by marsbeetle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covie Posted June 20, 2012 Share Just more things to fail and complicates a very simple system. As if fox wasnt over priced enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnydabutcher Posted June 27, 2012 Share Im old school - Aluminium frame and banana for race fuel. I dont buy something I cant fix myself. I like to have confidence in my equipment - I dont have that in electronic shifting or lockout yet. DeltaAlphaMike and jannosmit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll might then end up having to support "recognised dealers" only which will blow a hole in your wallet. I don't like this at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Rockshox now unveiled theirs as well, still think its total overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Li Mu Bai Posted June 27, 2012 Share i wonder how it will survive rough terrain asscoiated with mtb. fine if you spend time on flat smooth surfaces, but bouncing about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeMT Posted June 27, 2012 Share or better yet, a sudden malfunction on a stiff downhill going into a corner and suddenly..............where the heck did that rebound come from?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev null Posted June 27, 2012 Share I hear your comments, and yet we all drive cars today with engine management systems. Some folks here won't even know what a carburettor looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
