Expirience with the Scott Spark 970

Ludwig Döhl With the Spark 970 , 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. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Trailbike of Scott. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. The seating position is sporty. A shout out to Scott – we take our hats off, because a first-class price / performance ratio make the Scott Trailbike for on moderate to demanding trails a benchmark in the price range under 3000 Euro. The guarantee promise of 5 years ensures trust.
