Expirience with the Scott Spark RC Pro

Ludwig Döhl 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. With the weight indication of 11,2 kg, Scott lets the competitors look outdated. Because under the Downcountry-Bike you will hardly find a lighter model. Riding pleasure guaranteed. Thanks to a moderate 67,2 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Downcountry-Bike of Scott has a sporty seating position. A shout out to Scott – we take our hats off, because a first-class price / performance ratio make the Downcountry-Bike of Scott for tours with lots of high meters a benchmark in the price range under 8000 Euro. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty Scott sets the bar high! Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Downcountry-Bike of Scott sizing runs big.
