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. With 13,6 kg, the Trailbike of Scott counts towards the lighter bikes in this price range. The competitors are sometimes heavier. Scott is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. Scott gives 5 years warranty on the bike.
