I'm hoping for a new scale as well

 

Me too, current model is from 2017, I hope they will finally updated it… Kate is already teasing us. 😀

 

Really excited to see what Scott does with the next Genius and Ransom. I feel like Scott doesn't get a lot of attention here in the US, but I've liked their latest gen of mountain bikes.

I think it would be nice to see them ditch the twinloc for the Ransom. I believe the current Ransom comes with a 38 with a fit4 damper and I think it would be nice to have grip2 with no lockout. I don't think I would like a hidden shock inside of a ransom like they did with the new spark. Seems like that would really limit the shock options for a downhill oriented bike, but it wouldn't surprise me if that's the way they go.

 

I have a ransom with a 36 and feel the twin lock is the best part of that bike…with a 2500g frame, twin lock and some xc wheels and tires the thing can rip as an xc race bike. Switch wheels open it up and it’s A burly park bike really is the one bike quiver

sure it isn’t the fastest enduro race bike but is easily the most versatile all around bike out there

Lockouts/pedal modes on big travel bikes that can pedal like couches make more sense than on short travel race bikes

 

I would love to see them use a gripshift-twinlock in stead of the tripple levers
or at least have a solution for an AXS-dropper

 

I feel this is an awful idea ergonomically....far too much motion. Sure it's easier to distinguish intuiviely for the newb
but the use of the twinloc is most often (but not always) tied with the dropper.....going up hill you want suspension firmed up and seat up. Going down you want suspension open and dropper down. having them close together works well and can be accomplished in one motion once you build the muscle memory for it.

 

Scale - total redesign with dropped seatstays like the new Foil
Genius - increase in travel to 160mm, hidden rear shock as per Spark
Ransom - finished for MY23 but returns in 2024 with increased travel
Spark - new 140mm model 'Up Country' version

I would like to see a new Genius as 150/140 bike with a slightly longer reach and a higher stack. Not necessarily with hidden shock, but they could somehow simplify the TwinLoc setup - I like it, but it is overly complicated as for 150/150 trail bike. I hope they will keep it reasonably light to preserve its versatility. That being said, I still like my MY2020 Genius and despite the construction being now 5 years old, it does not seem to be outdated very much.

 

New Genius

 

It would not make sense to maintain the same bike under two different names, but it is a good one

 

I hope supply and availability returns to some degree of normality. Getting my 2022 Spark was a lengthy frustrating excercise, almost gave up a few times. I know dealers in my hometown who dropped Scott over last year’s inability to order what they wanted. I now have a dealer in my new area who has so far only been able to order parts, no bikes.
I know this shortage issue has affected all brands to some degree but Scott really needs to get back on track.

 

New scale:

 

Hey guys as today I decided to upgrade my 2018 Spark RC to new Spark RC wc evo, prices for 2023 will go up at least 20% and some models 30% at least what I saw for Europe
top SL Spark will be 16k euros what is like 4k euro more than this 2022 model

 

Spark ST Tuned 10 k
Spark 900 Tuned 10 k

 

OK, jokes aside... Where's the new Genius? We're already in September, and there aren't even any leaks.

 

Yeah, Google drawing a blank ...other than this thread.

 

Any new technical features on spark rc 2023?
sid fork has new raceday 2 damper. Anything else?

 

WC gets level TLM brakes instead of XTR, everything else same
Team issue gets one piece handlebar, fox suspensions and dropper

No new SID's or new Eagle

 

isn't the new Spark ST Genius (120 140mm)?

 

Pre-ordered my 2023 Genius ST frameset when dealers first got news/pricelists/B2B logins (and NDAs), hopefully it'll come in before summer of '23.

Frameset comes with fork, shock (with lockout lever) and handlebar/stem combo. A Fox 36 Grip 2, as the Genius ST doesn't have a lockout for the fork, only for the shock! The regular 2023 Genius has a FIT4 damper and lockout for both front and rear.

The color is the same as the 2023 Genius ST Tuned and 2023 Spark ST Tuned - full black with the yellow stripes on the front. Looks the same as in the pictures above..

 

Dropped into the Scott dealer today in my town, they just became one a few months ago. He said he was allowed to submit a “pre-season wish list” but thinks supply will still be short for 2023. I just got my Spark a few months ago but might be interested in a gravel model if he can get any of those.

 

The Genius looks great (hear it will be officially released in Oct-Nov), however after seeing it I opted for a Spark which I believe might be better suited for my local trails. However, the 2023 Sparks are mostly the same bikes with price increases...

I managed to source a 2022 Spark 910. Not the bike I originally hoped for (900 AXS) but I will hold onto this one for now.

 

Any more info on the genius?

 

Meanwhile, still waiting for my Spark RC 2022 frameset to be delivered... Ordered more than a year ago, was supposed to arrive in July then August then early September then mid-September, and what do you know, still nothing and Scott isn't helpful at all

 

Starting soon after the intro now over a year ago, I had multiple US dealers tell me there would likely be no framesets for model year 2022. Then out of nowhere one of the dealers alerted me in April that they had gotten some SL frames, one in each size, and I jumped on the large. Just two weeks ago the same dealer sent an email that they now had Supersonic framesets in stock. Two friends of mine have bought one.

 

So I received an update, my frameset might arrive in the first or second week of November... At this point it might as well arrive in 2023

 

Yes, mine is a supersonic as well. I see they are being shipped to dealers around the world, mine received a size M but the L size they had on order keeps being postponed.
There were only a handful of shops in my country who were able to order 1 or 2 framesets (I called them all)...

 

I was able to dig out the info from the cache.

No price listed, and curiously only S, M, and L

Thanks. Looks good but I don't care for the hidden shock looks like a hassle just to add air or make adjustments

do you gì have any photo about new scale SL or other colors?

 

Frame looks clean, 2.4 tires and 31.6 seatpost . Love the numbers but I don't think that it would be one of the lightest frames, also there is the stupid HMF and HMX segmentation.

 

Let's just hope it's going to as comfort as the previous one. I'm still blown away, it just absorbs everything.

 

Any info on the new ransom
