Expirience with the Scott Spark 950

Ludwig Döhl With the Spark 950 , 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. The moderate 65,8 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. With 14,5 kg, the Scott Fully tends to be one of the heavier bikes on the market. We like: 5 years warranty on the frame!
