Expirience with the Scott SPARK 940

Ludwig Döhl With the SPARK 940 , Scott has gone into full innovation mode. The damper integrated into the frame and the sleek cable routing on the handlebars not only make the bike an aesthetic eye-catcher, but also bring real advantages when riding. The unique design combines a low frame weight, best stiffness values and also offers space for two bottle cages in the frame. Of course, the Twin-Loc lever for locking the undercarriage is also standard on the new Spark. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 13,5 kg of the Trailbike von Scott counts towards the lighter Trailbike that you get for under under 4500 Euro. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Scott SPARK 940 has a sporty seating position. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Scott puts a lot of trust in its products.
