Expirience with the Scott SPARK RC SL

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 With the weight indication of 10,3 kg, Scott lets the competitors look outdated. Because under the Downcountry-Bike you will hardly find a lighter model. Riding pleasure guaranteed. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Scott Fully. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the SPARK RC SL to tours with lots of high meters a buying recommendation in the price range 14999 Euro range. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Scott puts a lot of trust in its products. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Scott Fully sizing runs big.
