Is the 910 version of Scott’s racer the perfect XC/Trail crossover? Guy Kesteven has been hitting every sort of track and challenge on it to find out who will love it and who won’t
Super sleek, stiff and light frame
Low overall bike weight
Excellent Fox 34 and Shimano XT trail spec
Unique Scott multi-mode suspension
Well priced for the tech
Lots of levers and clattery cables
Front/rear suspension balance is slightly off
Bar is a wonky shape
Suspension creaks after a while

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.

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

The Spark RC has more travel than you'd expect to find on a purebred XC race bike.
Excellent technical climber
One of the best descending purebred cross-country bikes around
Room for two water bottles
Not the easiest bike to work on for home mechanics
TwinLoc system won't be for everyone

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

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
