GS Sport Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Has anyone fitted a Fox RP23 to a Scott Spark 29er and was there a improvement?
Blinkp Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Best improvement you can make. Changed mine and really much better handling.

Hairy Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 Yo. A very reputable wrench (bike wrench, not wife aka wench) noted that the upgrade its worthy every cent ..... Provided that they also re valve the internals to suit. Omnico would be best to contact as they spent lord of time and money in their worshop getting the ballance right. It won't be cheap though!
Musashi Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 The DT Swiss rear shock was sent back 3 times for repairs (under warrantee) and I got fed up and upgraded to Fox RP23. Recycles in Bellville did the installation. I also turned the rear shock around so a bottle fits easier. Keep in mind that you'll still need the remote for the fork's lock-out. The RP23 is an improvement, but I'd love to get feedback on the Fox CTD rear shock on a Scott Spark 29'r.
Dubber88 Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) Was wondering when this thread would pop up. Bikeradar's guys tested the Spark 29 RC and even then they changed out the shock and was finally happy with the bike's performance. Edited November 11, 2012 by Dubber88
RoboLuke Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 ill swap out my shock for anRP32 they day there is a remote for it...not before
Musashi Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 ill swap out my shock for anRP32 they day there is a remote for it...not before The Fox CTD with remote is available.
Ceres Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 The Fox CTD with remote is available. I was thinking about doing this but man that CTD is expensive.
Musashi Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 I was thinking about doing this but man that CTD is expensive. That's the truth! I was considering it, but was able to pick up a new RP23 for half the price. Easy decision.
thinktank Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 Could anyone tell me what the Fox RP23 and Fox CTD remote shocks go for locally. Rear shock just gave out on my Scott Spark PRO. Would like the CTD remote if it doesn't cost me an arm...
splat Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Has anyone fitted a Fox RP23 to a Scott Spark 29er and was there a improvement? I think Kevin Evans put a CTD on when he got his 2013 machine not so long ago.
Fluffy123 Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Has anyone fitted a Fox RP23 to a Scott Spark 29er and was there a improvement? GS Sport did u fit one?
RoboLuke Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 does the remote on the scott spark work on the RP32?
GS Sport Posted December 31, 2012 Author Posted December 31, 2012 GS Sport did u fit one? Yes I have fitted the RP23, complete different bike to ride now. You dont need remote lockout if you have a RP23 installed. Daniel J Méssem 1
Daniel J Méssem Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Looking to fit an rp23 to my spark29er, but having trouble figuring out which tune to go for, bv pressure, rebound and compession? I weigh 90kg and ride on pretty rough trails
