A brilliant and unique balance of full-gas trail fun and flat-out, remote-controlled speed efficiency. Buy if power, speed, control and fun are your thing
Flat-out fun trail geometry and suspension on a stiff, relatively lightweight chassis
Efficiency-enhancing triple-mode suspension
Excellent kit for the price
Lacks pure race speed (for that, look to the Spark RC)

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.
