Scott Spark 730 review

Apr 2017 · Guy Kesteven

Unique race fast, trail happy, multi-option ripper for riders who want max speed everywhere. Buy if you want a bike that’ll kill on the climbs but still thrill on the fun bits

Highs
  • Outstandingly light yet stiff trail-shaped, race-fast chassis in 27.5, 29 or plus formats, unique multi-mode TwinLoc suspension rips descents and smashes the climbs, sweetly detailed frame features and supporting spec

Lows
  • Multiple remotes make the left-hand side of the bar busy

Highs
  • Standout ride quality

Lows
  • Not the best value
