Inspired by modern Road bikes and Hyper Cars, Dangerholm introduces his latest build – the Scott Hyper Spark, a pearl white fully integrated mountain bike with outstanding attention to detail.
Sweden, 2021. We’ve seen many projects from Gustav Gullholm, aka “Dangerholm,” in recent years, each one truly unique in its own way, striving for the ultimate in attention to detail time and time again. That being said, there is one Spark that stands out like no other. Who needs hypercars if you can have a “Hyper Spark?” When you thought you’d seen everything, Dangerholm drops the mic…again.
Thoughts => This bike is insanely trick and weighs 20.56 lbs with a standard seatpost and 23.15 lbs with a dropper, and includes tire inserts and pedals! It features an SRAM AXS drivetrain, Fox LiveVavle suspension system, and one-piece Syncros SL carbon wheels, along with a long list of sweet componentry. The unique Syncros handlebars have an innovative internal routing system, which offers an amazingly clear cockpit. Hyper Spark indeed!
Inspired by modern road bikes and hypercars alike, Dangerholm set out to apply the same sleek and clean look of these to SCOTT’s full-suspension mountain bike, the Spark RC. Build from scratch with some of the industry’s finest parts and technologies, as well as fully integrated cable routing, wrapped into a custom “pearl white” finish; this bike is not meant to pick up dust in showrooms.
With its top of the line spec, one-piece Syncros carbon wheels, and state-of-the-art world-cup winning carbon bike frame, this bike is meant to be ridden and bound to make it one of the fastest bikes out there.
The Build
The Hyper Spark comes with the latest technologies such as SRAM AXS wireless shifting and FOX LiveValve automatic electronic suspension.
A lot of modifications, ingenuity, and attention to detail were required to complete this ambitious build.
A steering stop system was molded onto the SCOTT Spark RC SL frame to not damage the internally routed cables and modifications to the handlebars and fork to allow for the custom cable routing. All heavily reinforced with safety in mind and endless hours spent on creating a perfect finish for the end result.
Geek Out on Specs
“The hypercar inspiration wasn’t all about looks, performance was key. No stone was left unturned here, so from full carbon wheels and ceramic bearings to the latest suspension technology – every single component is chosen for speed and top performance. A dream spec, to say the least.” – Gustav Gullholm
Building process – how ideas come to life in Dangerholm’s workshop
“I was heavily inspired by modern road bikes like the SCOTT Foil with its super clean 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 highlights its design. I’ve wanted to bring this look to mountain bikes for a long time, and finally, I could make it happen.
The biggest challenge was to sort out the cable routing, how to actually keep things entirely usable. Over the two-year build process, my ideas evolved quite a lot, and maybe it was a good thing it took so long. Sure there is still room for improvement, but everything works, and the bike is ready to hit the trails. I can’t wait for spring. The hypercar inspiration wasn’t all about looks, performance was key. No stone was left unturned here, so from full carbon wheels and ceramic bearings to the latest suspension technology – every single component is chosen for speed and top performance.
