The abbreviation "ST" stands for the SPARK ST 900 not as usual for "short travel" but for "super trail". Thus, Scott identifies those bikes in its model range that have been designed significantly more towards downhill. The frame remains the same as on all Sparks, but a fork with more travel and more chunky tires than usual are used. The weight of a bike is a central factor for riding pleasure on any kind of terrain. With 11,95 kg, the Scott SPARK ST 900 is one of the lightest All Mountain on the market, which makes for great riding on singletrails. The moderate 65,4 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. When it comes to the seating position, Scott chooses the middle ground between sporty and comfortable. All in all, in the on demanding trails category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Scott is behind its products.
