Summary
The Scott Spark trail bike is praised for its lightweight, agile frame and innovative TwinLoc suspension system, which offers versatile ride modes for varied conditions. It excels in climbing efficiency and descending control, though some reviews note issues with suspension balance and the complexity of the TwinLoc lever. Overall, it's a capable and fun trail bike with a few ergonomic and spec-related drawbacks.
Lightweight and agile frame
Versatile TwinLoc suspension system
Excellent climbing efficiency and traction
Innovative design and integration features
Responsive handling on descents
Complex and awkward TwinLoc lever
Suspension balance issues when pushed hard
Noisy components and cable rattling
Limited cockpit adjustability
Some spec choices hold back full potential
Expect to explain that 'No, it's not an E-bike' to lots of people –especially when they see how fast this piece of slick carbon sculpture climbs.
The Spark is a very fun and capable descender that’s held back by a couple of spec choices.
The Scott Spark RC is without doubt the most capable XC bike we’ve tested.
The suspension of the Spark generates huge amounts of traction, swallowing up brake bumps and root carpets almost unnoticed.
Maintaining speed is effortless, and generating speed comes naturally.

This prototype Scott Spark RC cross-country bike was spotted racing the XC World Cup, so we took a closer look!
New suspension design appears simpler and cleaner from driveside
Threaded bottom bracket
Easier access to rear shock
Likely lower frame weight
Good ground clearance
HMX SL lightweight hi-mod carbon construction
Complex multi-part short link on non-driveside likely to collect mud and debris
Increased maintenance complexity

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.

Apr 2023 · Tom Law
A great frame that's held back by some below-par spec choices. It’s not the best value either
Great geometry for fast-paced trail riding
Super-smooth suspension
Well balanced when airborne
Clean frame design
TwinLoc lever awkward to use
Suspension bobs under power when left open
Brakes and rotors need upgrade
Front tyre lacks bite
Drivetrain isn’t as good as we’d expect for the price
Aug 2022 · Guy Kesteven
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

Jul 2022 · Jason_Schroeder
With an eye-catching integrated shock design, three-position suspension lockout, and 130mm fork, the Spark is a unique beast intended to conquer any trail.

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
