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

Simple frame design, smart integration and clever detail solutions
Cool features such as the built-in mini tool and QUARK TyreWiz
Suspension generates excellent traction
Long seat tube restricts freedom of movement on the bike
Jan 2022 · Tom Marvin
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
Dec 2021 · Travis Engel
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
