Scott Contessa Spark 910 review

May 2018 · Anna Cipullo

A capable short-travel full-suspension bike that's lively and efficient on trails. Buy if you want a speed-focussed trail bike with a feedback-rich ride

Highs
  • Responsive handling, great spec

Lows
  • Expensive, not as “do-it-all” as the marketing would suggest
