Scott 2010 preview: Road, cyclocross and mountain bike updates

The new Twinloc remote will now control both the rear shock as well as select forks from Fox Racing Shox and DT Swiss.

  • Scott has redesigned its CR1 road model for 2010 with more comfort plus a more upright riding position.
  • The seat stays have been dramatically reshaped with a very broad profile when viewed from above…
  • …but two radically slimmed-down flex zones when viewed from the side.
  • The chain stays are similarly shaped with a broad profile up top…
  • …and another set of slimmed-down flex zones towards the bottom bracket. Scott says the new rear end will flex up to 2mm.
  • Engineered flex zones in the new CR1 fork are also said to enhance ride comfort.
  • The 2010 CR1 frames will use shorter top tubes and longer head tubes for a more relaxed riding position relative to the original.
  • The top tube is still rather broad, however, so front end torsional rigidity is still expected to be quite high.
  • Scott will continue to use a straight 1 1/8
  • Both press-fit and threaded bottom bracket shells will be available on the 2010 CR1 depending on the model.
  • Though softer-riding and more relaxed in position, the new CR1 is still a high-tech machine complete with carbon housing stops.
  • New carbon dropouts also replace the old aluminIum ones but total frame weight still climbs to about 980g for a large size.
  • The Scott Genius and Spark frames are essentially unchanged for 2010 save for some tweaked shock internals and a new Twinloc remote lever.
  • The new Twinloc remote will now control both the rear shock as well as select forks from Fox Racing Shox and DT Swiss.
  • The Genius continues to use a proprietary pull shock that requires an unusually high inflation pressure.
  • Though in the line of fire of debris coming off of the rear tyre, a small guard is installed towards the bottom to help keep the shock clean.
  • The new Twinloc provides more suspension control on-the-fly but the additional cables do clutter up the front end a bit.
  • The rear end carries over from last year, including the oversized carbon chain stays and seat stays.
  • The Genius will carry on with a straight 1 1/8
  • Dropouts are still carbon fibre.
