All-new 2027 Scott Spark RC once again evolves the most successful cross-country bike on the World Cup XC circuit, lighter & faster than ever!
All-new suspension design inspired by longer travel bikes for more grip and control
Ultralight weight: 12% reduction in frameset weight for HMX-SL
Lower center of gravity due to shock integration
Higher anti-squat for better support
Sensitive early travel for traction, more support later
Improved frame flex balance for controlled handling
Shock protection from dust and dirt
Easier access to suspension adjustment and AXS battery
Internal frame storage with trailside repair kit
Various build options at different price points
High price: $15,000 top model
No seattube bottle bosses (optional adapter needed)
Only one model with mechanical shifting
Jun 2026 · Alex Hunt
Slack, longer, and a whole lot more capable. Scott’s new Spark RC is more than just a race bike.
Jun 2026 · Seb Stott
The new Spark includes a list of features and design decisions not often seen on uncompromising race bikes.
Unique suspension layout that saves weight and lowers center of gravity
Very sensitive rear suspension with good traction
Capable on descents with slack head angle and long dropper post
Clever integrated storage and cable routing
External bottle mount threads allow two bottles
Low stack height leads to aggressive, hands-heavy position
Frame weight is competitive but not the lightest (Specialized Epic is lighter)
Full Flight Attendant system is overwhelming to set up initially

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
