2022 Scott Spark RC Review | 6 upgrades to turn a Spark into a Spark RC race bike

May 2022

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.

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • 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 Spark RC Team Issue AXS review

Jan 2022 · Tom Marvin

Scott's new XC race bike feels great down a hill, but relies on its lockout remote

Highs
  • Smooth suspension flatters riding skill and creates grip where others fail

  • One of the tidiest frames on the market, with decent Syncros finishing kit

Lows
  • It relies on its lockout for the best performance

  • Lacks a little spark when instant accelerations are needed

The Beta Tests: Scott Spark 900 Tuned

Dec 2021 · Travis Engel

It's what's inside that counts

Highs
  • 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!

Lows
  • Not as supportive as other 120mm bikes

  • Non-guided internal cable routing is noisy

SCOTT Spark 900 Tuned AXS 2022 first ride review – The new benchmark for integration?

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.

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • 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
