Slack, longer, and a whole lot more capable. Scott’s new Spark RC is more than just a race bike.

First Ride: The 2027 Scott Spark RC Keeps the Shock Hidden and Gets Even Lighter

Jun 2026 · Seb Stott

The new Spark includes a list of features and design decisions not often seen on uncompromising race bikes.

Highs
  • Low weight: approximately 200g lighter than previous generation

  • Straight seat tube allows long dropper posts (150mm all sizes, 200mm larger frames)

  • External bottle mount threads for two bottles

  • In-frame storage with toolkit

  • Progressive leverage ratio for support while pedaling

  • Sensitive rear suspension with good traction

  • Flight Attendant suspension responds quickly to bumps

  • Magnetic covers work well, frame is quiet

  • Compact chainstays (434mm)

  • Accommodates up to 2.6" tires

  • Adjustable head angle (65.4-66.4°)

Lows
  • Low stack height (591mm in S/M, 613mm in XL) can put rider heavy on hands

  • Complex cable routing (Octopus Cable-Routing Technology) may be hard to service

  • Flight Attendant setup overwhelming initially

Scott Spark 940 review

Apr 2023 · Tom Law

A great frame that's held back by some below-par spec choices. It’s not the best value either

Highs
  • Great geometry for fast-paced trail riding

  • Super-smooth suspension

  • Well balanced when airborne

  • Clean frame design

Lows
  • 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
