Cross Country perfection: the Scott Spark series
The Scott Spark is one of the most successful fullys in the World Cup, World Championships and Olympics. A large number of international athletes rely on this bike. A large part of the work and resources at Scott are used to develop this series. Scott is happy to make these world-class bikes available to its customers. Available in a wide range of specifications, there is a bike to suit every rider and every purpose. From solid entry-level models at an affordable price to carbon dream bikes for World Cup riders, Scott offers the full range. The additional choice between aluminum and carbon, as well as models with maneuverable 27.5-inch wheels or smooth-running 29-inch wheels, adds to the possibilities in limitless. It almost goes without saying that the workmanship, quality, ergonomics and functionality of these bikes are always at the flawless Scott level.
Aluminum for beginners and trail freaks
Scott offers the Spark 970 at a reasonable price. This 29er fully with a RockShox Judy Silver air suspension fork and X-Fusion RL damper offers plenty of reserves for fast trails. With the popular and extremely reliable Shimano Deore components and high-quality Syncros parts, the bike weighs about 14.2 kilograms. This makes it ideal for sporty tours and fast trails. With the two 650B bikes, the Spark 740 and 730, Scott has sent some particularly agile representatives into the race. The Spark 740 relies on Sram components with an NX1 rear derailleur, while the Spark 730 is already equipped with a Shimano XT rear derailleur. Both bikes are equipped with a RockShox Recon RL air-sprung fork and an X-Fusion damper to provide maximum comfort and traction.
For true trail lovers, Scott offers the Spark 950 with ingenious Fox 32 Float suspension. The Shimano XT rear derailleur ensures more than sufficient propulsion, which the hydraulic Shimano MT500 disc brake skillfully decelerates. The Syncros dropper seatpost and tubeless ready rims underline the sporty design of this bike. With the Spark 940 variant, Scott offers a fully equipped with the Fox 34 Float suspension and the high-end SRAM GX / Eagle groupset. Weighing in at around 13.3 kilograms, this bike is perfect for any cross-country use and fast laps.
The top model in the aluminum series, the Scott Spark 930, relies on Shimano XT components throughout and a large Shimano SLX brake. The remote-controlled Fox Transfer seatpost guarantees the perfect seating position and control in every situation. All models in this series come with the usual flawless Scott aluminum frame, which looks like a carbon monocoque at first glance due to the perfect welding. Visually, Scott relies on classic combinations and successful contrasts. The low cockpit and slim frames create a sporty, aggressive look.
For the decisive advantage: the Scott Spark in carbon
In addition to being particularly torsionally stiff, carbon has a number of other advantages as a material for frame construction. In addition to increased comfort, which results from the vibration-damping properties of the material, the low weight is also a decisive factor for this choice. With the Scott Spark RC 900 Team, fans of the brand already have a World Cup-level fully at their disposal. The perfectly crafted Scott RC frame made of HMF carbon pushes the weight of the bike to approx. 11.1 kilograms. The powerful Sram GX / Eagle drivetrain provides the necessary power.
Whether uphill or downhill, the powerful Sram Level TL disc brake can be optimally applied at all times. High-quality components from Syncros round off the high-quality impression and make this bike a real race and CC fully in a class of its own. With the Spark 910, Scott offers a bike with full Shimano XT components and Fox 34 Float / Nude suspension. Sporty details, such as the hydraulic Fox seatpost or the Syncros saddle with titanium rails, leave little to be desired. With the Spark 710, this bike is also available as a super-agile 650B full-suspension bike.
Scott rounds off its "civilian" series with the Spark 900. This bike, with Fox 34 Float / Fox Nude suspension, SRAM X01 rear derailleur and a total weight of just 12.2 kilograms, is aimed at extreme athletes, professionals and anyone aspiring to be one. These bikes also have a lot to offer visually and satisfy the desire for understatement with discreet paint jobs as well as the desire to stand out with bright combinations in neon colors.
Tuned, Premium, Ultimate – more than just buzzwords for Scott
For true professionals, fans and passionate bikers, Scott also offers its Spark bikes in elegant special editions. The Scott Spark 700 Tuned is a carbon fully weighing in at around 11.8 kilograms with a variety of extraordinary details. The Fox suspension is finished with the elegant Kashimano coating. The SRAM X01 drivetrain ensures plenty of speed, while the SRAM Guide RSC brakes with 180mm discs grab the wheel firmly. If this is still not exclusive enough for you, you can opt for the Spark 900 Premium. Here, too, the fork, rear shock and seatpost are all from Fox and have the Kashima Coating.
This bike features Shimano XT Di:2 electronic shifting, which means that the gears are shifted in a fraction of a second. Perhaps the most maneuverable carbon full-suspension bike in this range is the Scott Spark 700 Ultimate. The high-quality Kashima coating can be found on the suspension parts and the Fox seatpost. The super-light Sram X01 group pushes the weight of the bike to 11.7 kilograms. These values can only be beaten by the Spark 900 Ultimate, which comes with a rare Sram XX1 group and a carbon wheelset from DT Swiss, weighing in at 10.9 kilograms. Scott's extensive experience in the World Cup series naturally comes into its own in the development of these bikes. The dramatic look in dark colors, contrasting with the golden Kashimao coating, looks classy and superior!
