SCOTT Spark

Wheel Size: 29" | Suspension Travel: 130mm-140mm Front / 120mm Rear | Frame Options: Carbon or Alloy (model dependent)

The SCOTT Spark is a lightweight short-travel trail bike engineered to combine the speed and efficiency of a cross-country bike with the capability and confidence of a modern trail platform. Positioned between pure XC race bikes and aggressive trail bikes, the non-RC Spark models are designed for riders who want a fast, versatile machine that climbs efficiently while remaining composed and playful on technical descents.

Built around SCOTT's Integrated Suspension Technology, the rear shock is hidden within the frame to improve stiffness, lower the center of gravity, and create a remarkably clean aesthetic. Often described as a "downcountry" bike, the standard Spark blends XC efficiency with light trail capability for all-day rides and technical singletrack. The lineup ranges from premium carbon models with electronic drivetrains to more affordable alloy builds, but every version shares the same versatile character: lightweight, efficient, and highly capable on demanding trails.

With its balance of XC-inspired speed, trail-ready confidence, and adaptable suspension performance, the SCOTT Spark is built for riders seeking one bike capable of handling marathon rides, fast singletrack, and aggressive everyday trail riding.
