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

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

Remote suspension lockout front and rear
Sweetly balanced, adjustable handling
Clean internal shock aesthetics
Tight tracking frame and fork
Wireless gears
Big volume tires and rims
Excellent spec value
Competitive weight
Most riders will want a dropper
Press-fit bottom bracket needs regular checks
Not the lightest Spark frame

The all-new 2022 Scott Spark XC bike gets a complete integrated redesign with Bold 120mm hidden shock, integrated routing & trail models...
Jun 2021 · Peter Walker
SCOTT introduce the all-new Spark 900 Tuned AXS 2022. For the upcoming season, the Swiss have redesigned the bike from the ground up and hidden the shock inside the frame. We've already had the chance to test SCOTT’s beefed-up XC racer for you.
Very low system weight and fast acceleration
Great integration and elegant look
Cool features such as the SRAM TireWiz and minitool integrated in the thru-axle
Long seat tube restricts the freedom of movement
Spec not suitable for harder trail riding
Puncture-prone XC tire on a trail bike doesn’t provide enough puncture protection
