Expirience with the Scott Spark RC SL EVO AXS

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 lean 10,1 kg, the Scott Downcountry-Bike is among the lightest bikes in this category. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Scott Fully. Considering that in the range above 8000 Euro, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice! The guarantee of 5 years proves that Scott puts a lot of trust in its products. Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs big.
