This bike made Nino Schurter world champion in 2021. They made history, because never before had a cross-country world championship been won with a fully with 120 mm suspension travel. The integrated damper and the Twin-Loc lever for locking the chassis make the Scott the most innovative bike on the market. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 12,5 kg of the SPARK RC COMP counts towards the lighter Downcountry-Bike that you get for under under 4500 Euro. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty Scott sets the bar high! Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs big.
