Scott have announced an all-new Spark platform which will support three different bikes, Spark RC, Spark and Spark Plus. The Spark is a completely new bike and you don’t need to look further than the suspension design to see that. The old top link design has being replaced with a spanking new single-pivot rocker link system. Scott have been aggressive with their implementation of new technologies on the Spark: boasting cutting edge carbon construction techniques, bringing the geometry up-to-date, the use of new standards like Boost and metric shocks, and even adapting the brake mounts for more flexible stays.<\/p>\n

Three new Scott Spark models<\/h2>\n

There are three new Scott Spark bikes with 33 models across the range. Each Spark bike has its own distinct purpose but with a shared DNA.<\/p>\n

The Spark RC<\/strong> is a 100% race dedicated 100mm full suspension bike. The Spark<\/strong> is a do-it-all marathon-trail bike featuring a slacker geometry and 120mm travel. While the Spark Plus<\/strong> is a trail ready full suspension 27.5 plus bike.<\/p>\n

Wheel size<\/h2>\n

Both the Spark RC and Spark will be available as 27.5″ and 29″ models. The 27.5″ models are in the 700 series while the 29″ bikes are designated the 900 model number. The Spark Plus is based around a 27.5″ plus sized wheel. The 27.5″ models will be available in S \/ M \/ L sizing while the 29″ and 27.5″ Plus bikes will included an XL size.<\/p>\n

\nEngineers don\u2019t like design compromises. Splitting the Spark family into three models allowed us to create bikes with a shared DNA and distinct purpose. The Spark RC is a 100% race dedicated full suspension bike – by designing a 1x specific platform and using HMX-SL fibres for the first time on MTB we\u2019ve set a new benchmark in terms of weight. The final bike is the result of hundreds of careful design decisions which combine to create the perfect racing tool for our racers to keep on winning.
