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.

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.

Much like the Fed wouldn’t settle for a rubbish racquet, Nino Schurter wouldn’t rock up to the start line aboard anything but the best, so when Scott released an all new Spark frame last year, we sat up and paid attention. We covered the revisions to the frame, as well as the spec on the …
