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

Review: Scott Spark RC World Cup - 120mm Is The New XC

Mar 2022 · Sarah Moore

The Spark RC has more travel than you'd expect to find on a purebred XC race bike.

Highs
  • Excellent technical climber

  • One of the best descending purebred cross-country bikes around

  • Room for two water bottles

Lows
  • Not the easiest bike to work on for home mechanics

  • TwinLoc system won't be for everyone

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 review

Nov 2021 · Tom Marvin

Fast and furious, but can feel a bit like a coiled spring at times when you’re really hauling

Highs
  • Supremely smooth suspension over large and smooth hits

  • Picks up speed like nothing else

  • Up-to-date geometry with some adjustability

Lows
  • A bit of trail induced twang

  • If it pumped through terrain better, I’d be happier

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
