I believe the Spark is a Linkage-driven single pivot w/ a flex stay, unlike the Genius (4bar) and Ransom (6bar). If I'm wrong, someone please correct me!

There are a number of reviews under it on Spot's site, implying that at least some people have gotten one.
This bike check has 7 comments.

The patent was never actually granted. It was issued a non-final rejection based on being an obvious combination of prior art. If you don't respond to that within a certain window the patent office considers it abandoned. So anyone that wants can have at it.

DHF sucks. Always wash out unless you really commit to the lean and never ride berms

Shut the fuck up about drivetrain efficiency. Holy shit. Go find a different thread.

I typically use the climb switch once per ride. I like to turn it on halfway up the climb when I remember I have it and might as well use it. I tend to turn it off halfway down the descent when I’m puzzling over why my suspension isn’t working. I suspect I am not in the minority.

Thicker rotors only reduce lever travel (which comes from less of a gap between pads and rotor) till the pads are worn a bit and the caliper seals let the pistons slip out a bit to make up for some of the wear. Then, the lever throw is only depending on the seal roll back of the caliper piston seals. The same effect can be achieved by pumping the brakes and by that advancing the pistons slightly before you insert a thinner rotor.

Why would a thicker rotor reduce lever travel? That is not how brake calipers work.

Gonna be a dick and point out that if you run smaller than a 32t, you don’t need a power meter, you need a gym. Edit: it’s not my opinion, just an uncomfortable matter of fact for why they don’t make power meters for 30t rings. I’m sure there are exceptions, like people riding fully loaded 87lb touring bikes who pump out 450 watts so they can go at a walking pace. Or Primoz who apparently lives in a magical land where rock climbing and mountain biking intersect.

3/18/2026 9:56am Insertion depth is a big one for me. I run a 210 on my Top Fuel and a 240 on my Sight. I wouldn't get another DC/small travel trail bike that doesn't let me use at least 210. If anything, I wish I could have more on both bikes.
