Now in their fourth iteration, the 2022 Spark RC and Spark 900 lines have continued their cross-country heritage on racetracks, blending modern technology and design to suit all levels of riders.

With an eye-catching integrated shock design, three-position suspension lockout, and 130mm fork, the Spark is a unique beast intended to conquer any trail.

Which bike to pick out of the Scott Spark RC and the regular Spark? We go through the differences and similarities, and how we adapted our Spark 910 to turn it into one of the best race bikes we've ever tested. Get the lowdown in our Scott Spark RC review.
Ridiculously plush for an XC race bike
Outstanding descending control
Traction Control mode offers instantaneous climbing boost
Stealthy frame design hides shock from the elements
Adjustable geometry widens versatility
If you don't like suspension remotes, the Spark isn't for you
Headset cable routing adds maintenance frustration
Not the quietest bike
Not the lightest XC frame

Simple frame design, smart integration and clever detail solutions
Cool features such as the built-in mini tool and QUARK TyreWiz
Suspension generates excellent traction
Long seat tube restricts freedom of movement on the bike

It's what's inside that counts
I mean, have you LOOKED at it?
Incredibly light for a trail bike
Impressively stiff chassis
Easier than you'd think to access rear shock
UDH derailleur hanger
Seriously, just LOOK at it!
Not as supportive as other 120mm bikes
Non-guided internal cable routing is noisy
Sep 2021 · Alan Muldoon
Name an XC event, and chances are that the unstoppable force that is Nino Schurter has probably won it on a Scott Spark RC WC.
Ruthless in its efficiency
Suspension could be more supple in Descend mode
Aug 2021 · Mike Kazimer
Mike Kazimer's been putting in the miles on the new Spark, which received a bold new re-design for 2022.
Excellent technical climber
Good geometry for all-around speed
Futuristic looks and room for two water bottles
Integrated bar / stem and headset cable routing makes it more difficult to customize setup
TwinLoc system creates a cluttered cockpit
Chainslap noise is loud in rougher terrain
