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.
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
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

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
