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.

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

Long seat tube restricts freedom of movement on the bike

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
