Summary
The Scott Spark is a versatile cross-country bike that excels in both climbing and descending, with updated geometry and suspension that enhance its agility and stability. Its lightweight frame and efficient pedaling make it a top performer on climbs, while its capable handling and supportive suspension allow it to tackle technical terrain with confidence. The bike's TwinLoc suspension control system adds to its versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of riding styles.
Lightweight and efficient for climbing

Updated geometry for improved handling

Tyre pressure sensitivity affecting ride quality
The bike was playful and fun, even bombing down lift-served flow trails—trails where I don’t normally choose to ride a cross-country race bikeBicycling
We think of the new Spark as having the genetics of an XC-race bike, but the breeding of a trail bike.
BIKE MagazineThe Spark is for those who value flat-out climbing speed as much as full-gas singletracking and descending thrills.
BikeRadarThe combination of a slacker front end, short stays, and progressive suspension design that’s sensitive off the top, but supportive thereafter, results in a bike that punches far above its proverbial weight.

In Issue #116 of Singletrack Magazine, Wil and the crew tested three new generation full suspension XC race bikes. Read on for the full review of the 2018 Scott Spark...

Unique suspension and great frame create an outstandingly rapid climb-smashing all-rounder. Buy if you like your bikes light, balanced and full of power
Impressively light but precisely stiff frame with sorted geometry, unique remote control suspension, trail-proof yet fast spec suits the bike superbly
Crowded bar and taut suspension feel won’t suit all, press-fit bottom brackets can wear fast

SCOTT claim to have created exactly this, lauding the SCOTT Contessa Spark Plus as able to excel at pedalling efficiency as well as sublime descending.

If you like riding mountain bikes uphill and downhill with equal precision and efficiency, the Scott Spark is a serious no-compromise option. - Mtbr.com

The Scott Spark 710 Plus has been ridden to two Olympic gold medals; well now it can add our Trail Bike of the Year award to its glittering palmarès.
Punches well above its weight.
Doesn’t need all the gadgets.
