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

Scott's new XC race bike feels great down a hill, but relies on its lockout remote
Smooth suspension flatters riding skill and creates grip where others fail
One of the tidiest frames on the market, with decent Syncros finishing kit
It relies on its lockout for the best performance
Lacks a little spark when instant accelerations are needed

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

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

Erin Huck stunned crowds at the 2021 mountain bike national championships in Winter Park when she crossed the finish line more than two minutes clear of runner-up Alexis Skarda.

Riding the new Scott Spark 900 is apparently so much fun, it should be illegal (well, according to this entertaining video, anyway)...

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
