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
  • Innovative shock and link layout saving weight, lowering center of gravity

  • Supports 150 mm dropper post on all sizes, 200 mm on larger

  • Two bottle mounts and in-frame storage for tools

  • Removable steering limiter to protect frame and cables

  • Lightweight frame competitive with Specialized Epic

  • Slack head angle options (65.4-66.4°) for an XC bike

  • Can accommodate 2.6" tires

  • Progressive leverage ratio with generous anti-squat

  • Sensitive rear suspension in open mode

  • Full Flight Attendant electronic suspension works well

Lows
  • Complex cable routing (Octopus Cable-Routing Technology)

  • Flight Attendant setup is a little overwhelming initially

  • Low stack height leads to aggressive, weight-on-hands position

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
