Beautiful, beautiful... Hyper Spark
Inspired by modern road bikes and hyper-cars, Dangerholm set out to bring the same sleek and clean look to Scott's Spark RC. He built the bike from scratch. Including integrated cable routing, it features some of the best parts and technology available. Wrapped in a pearly white "dress", this bike is not meant to collect dust in showrooms. Dangerholm rides his works of art out too. With its first-class equipment, Syncros carbon wheels and a carbon frame on which Nino Schurter has won numerous World Cup races, this bike is made to be ridden. Gullholm explains the weight of 9.78 kilograms and the elegant look as almost secondary.
The body
The Hyper Spark features the latest technologies such as the wireless Sram AXS drivetrain or the automatic, electronic LiveValve suspension from Fox. A lot of modifications, ingenuity and attention to detail were required to complete this ambitious build.
Dangerholm "skinned" the Scott Spark RC-SL frame and then repainted it. A steering stop system was also molded on so as not to damage the internally routed cables. The Swede even made modifications to the handlebars and suspension fork to enable individual cable routing. Everything was significantly reinforced with a focus on safety, and endless hours were spent to achieve a perfect end result.From inspiration to implementation
"The inspiration for Hyper-Cars was not just about looks, but also about performance. No stone has been left unturned, from full carbon wheels and ceramic bearings to the latest suspension technology - every single component is designed for speed and top performance. A dream setup, to say the least," explains Gustav Gullholm.
Gulholm was also inspired by modern racing bikes such as Scott's Foil with its very tidy and fully integrated cockpit. "Once you get used to seeing bikes without visible cables, it's clear how much it changes the impression of the bike and emphasizes its design. I've wanted to bring this look to mountain bikes for a long time and I've finally been able to realize it."
His biggest challenge was figuring out the cable routing, how to actually keep things fully usable. "During the two-year building process, my ideas evolved a lot, and maybe it was good that it took so long. There's certainly room for improvement, but everything works and the bike is ready to be chased down the trails," concludes Dangerholm.www.scott-sports.com/dangerholm-hyper-spark
