BikeRadarThe combination of a slacker front end, short stays, and progressive suspension design that’s sensitive off the top, but supportive thereafter, results in a bike that punches far above its proverbial weight.

What’s the Spark model we’ve got on test? The Spark 900 we’ve got on test is a 120mm, 29” trail bike. With a dropper post and a beefy fork, it’s a world apart from the Spark RC 900 World Cup we recently tested. What’s the Scott Spark 900 all about? The 120mm trail bike hasn’t …
Well-thought out spec for the most part.
