Summary
The Scott Spark trail bike is celebrated for its innovative design, lightweight frame, and versatile suspension system, making it a standout for both climbing and descending. Its unique TwinLoc system allows riders to easily adjust suspension settings for varying trail conditions, though some find the system complex.

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

Long seat tube restricts freedom of movement on the bike

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
Nov 2021 · Tom Marvin
Fast and furious, but can feel a bit like a coiled spring at times when you’re really hauling
Supremely smooth suspension over large and smooth hits
Picks up speed like nothing else
Up-to-date geometry with some adjustability
A bit of trail induced twang
If it pumped through terrain better, I’d be happier

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
