- Built for Versatile Trail Riding
The Scott Spark DC 30 is a full suspension mountain bike designed to balance climbing efficiency with confidence on technical descents. Combining a lightweight HMF carbon frame, 140mm front suspension and 135mm rear travel, it offers a versatile setup for everything from flowing singletrack to challenging trail centre routes and longer mountain adventures.
The fifth-generation Spark DC HMF carbon frame features Scott's integrated suspension design, positioning the rear shock within the frame to help lower the bike's centre of gravity. This contributes to balanced handling and stability when navigating corners, rough terrain and technical sections.
The frame also features an adjustable head angle, allowing riders to fine-tune the steering characteristics to suit their riding preferences. A slacker setting provides additional stability on steep descents, while a steeper setting offers more responsive steering on tighter trails.
Scott's Syncros Cable Integration System Gen2 keeps cables neatly routed through the cockpit and frame, helping protect them from dirt and debris. The frame also features a threaded BSA bottom bracket, UDH interface and Boost 12x148mm rear spacing.
Integrated frame storage provides space for carrying essential tools and spares, while additional mounting options make the Spark DC 30 suitable for longer rides and bikepacking adventures.
RockShox Suspension
The Scott Spark DC 30 features RockShox suspension front and rear, providing adjustable performance for a wide range of trail conditions.
Up front, the RockShox Pike Select 3P air suspension fork delivers 140mm of travel, combining a supportive chassis with the control needed for technical trail riding. Its Charger RC 3P damper offers three compression settings, allowing riders to adjust suspension support for climbing, flowing trails and rough descents.
The adjustable air spring allows riders to set suspension pressure for their weight, while rebound adjustment controls how quickly the fork returns after compression.
At the rear, the RockShox Deluxe Traction Control RL3 shock provides 135mm of suspension travel and features Scott's custom Traction Control system.
The three-position suspension adjustment offers Lockout, Traction Control and Descend modes, allowing riders to adapt the bike's suspension behaviour to different terrain.
Lockout provides a firmer platform for smooth climbs, Traction Control adjusts suspension behaviour to support efficient pedalling and maintain traction, while Descend mode opens the suspension for greater comfort and control on rougher trails.
The shock also features rebound adjustment, allowing riders to fine-tune suspension performance to suit their weight, riding style and terrain.
SRAM Eagle AXS Transmission
The Spark DC 30 features SRAM's S1000 Eagle AXS Transmission 12-speed drivetrain, delivering precise wireless electronic shifting without traditional gear cables.
The drivetrain uses SRAM's direct-mount Transmission design, which attaches the rear derailleur directly to the frame's UDH interface. This creates a robust connection designed to maintain consistent shifting under the demands of off-road riding.
A SRAM Eagle 70 Transmission chainset with a 32-tooth chainring is paired with a wide-range 10-52T cassette, providing gearing for steep climbs, technical singletrack and faster sections of trail.
The SRAM AXS Pod Controller allows riders to change gears using electronic buttons, with customisable controls to suit individual preferences.
With no front derailleur to manage, the single-chainring setup keeps shifting straightforward, allowing riders to concentrate on maintaining momentum through changing terrain.
SRAM DB6 Hydraulic Disc Brakes
The Scott Spark DC 30 is equipped with SRAM DB6 four-piston hydraulic disc brakes, providing controlled stopping power for technical trail riding.
The four-piston callipers deliver consistent braking force, helping riders manage speed on steep descents, loose surfaces and challenging terrain.
Hydraulic operation provides progressive control, allowing riders to adjust braking force with confidence when navigating tight corners or changing trail conditions.
Syncros Silverton Wheels and Maxxis Tyres
The Scott Spark DC 30 rolls on 29-inch Syncros Silverton AL2 aluminium wheels, featuring 30mm internal rim widths and tubeless-ready construction.
The wider rims provide a supportive platform for the 2.4-inch tyres, helping maintain tyre stability when cornering and riding over rough terrain.
Up front, the Maxxis Forekaster 29x2.4-inch tyre features a tread pattern designed to provide traction across mixed trail conditions, including loose and damp surfaces.
At the rear, the Maxxis Rekon 29x2.4-inch tyre balances rolling efficiency with grip, making it suitable for varied trail surfaces.
Both tyres feature 60TPI casings and tubeless-ready construction, with the rear Rekon also featuring EXO sidewall protection for additional durability.
Their tubeless-ready construction allows riders to convert to a tubeless setup, which can help reduce pinch punctures and allow lower tyre pressures for improved traction and comfort.
Adjustable Dropper Post and Trail Cockpit
The Scott Spark DC 30 features a Syncros SP-M301-AL2 dropper seatpost with RAD 2.0 travel adjustment, allowing riders to customise the available drop to suit their height and riding preferences.
Lowering the saddle provides additional room to move around the bike when descending, improving control on steep and technical terrain.
The Syncros DC ST-M200-AL2 cockpit provides a clean, integrated appearance, while the Syncros Tofino R 2.0 saddle offers support for longer rides.
Whether you're exploring technical singletrack, tackling trail centre descents or heading out for an all-day mountain adventure, the Scott Spark DC 30 combines adjustable suspension, wireless shifting and versatile trail geometry for a balanced riding experience.
