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.

[ad3] Scott completely redesigned the Spark and launched it last summer. After a short test of the Plus version, now it’s time for our review of the 29er with 120mm of front and rear travel.

Scott’s remarkably sorted, trail happy but race-rapid Spark is the best of both worlds. Buy if you want a fast and fun bike for the trails
Superbly executed blend of super-confident and playful trail bike
Push-button race bike efficiency and speed
Occasionally clunky 34 Performance fork holds it back from full flat-out potential
