I had been wanting this super cool style of aluminium link housing since forever, and this little thing is what finally ignited the spark (pun intended) to tear the bike down one last time.

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

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

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
