The Scott Spark RC Expert takes one of the most successful cross-country platforms in modern mountain biking and packages it with race-focused components designed to deliver speed, efficiency and control. Whether you're pinning on a race number, chasing personal bests on local trails or tackling long-distance marathon events, this bike is built to help you ride faster with greater confidence.
At the heart of the bike is Scott's fifth-generation Spark RC HMF carbon frame. Developed with input from elite athletes, it combines low weight with impressive stiffness and modern race geometry. The integrated rear shock design contributes to a cleaner aesthetic while helping improve frame performance and protection from trail debris. An adjustable head angle and suspension settings allow riders to fine-tune the handling characteristics to suit different courses and riding styles.
Suspension duties are handled by a premium Fox Factory package. Up front, the Fox 34SL Factory fork delivers 120mm of travel and features the lightweight Grip SL damper with Kashima coating for smooth performance and excellent sensitivity. At the rear, the custom Fox Float Factory Traction Control EVOL shock provides 120mm of travel and Scott's three-position suspension adjustment system, allowing riders to switch between Descend, Traction Control and Lockout modes to maximise efficiency and control as the terrain changes.
The Shimano XT Di2 wireless drivetrain brings fast, precise electronic shifting to the trail. Its 12-speed configuration combines a wide-range 10-51T cassette with race-proven reliability, ensuring smooth gear changes under load and dependable performance throughout long rides and races.
Control is enhanced by Shimano Deore four-piston hydraulic disc brakes, offering powerful and consistent braking performance when trails become steep or technical. Combined with the wide-rimmed Syncros Silverton AL2 wheelset and fast-rolling Maxxis Aspen 29x2.4" tubeless-ready tyres, the Spark RC Expert delivers excellent grip, low rolling resistance and predictable handling across varied terrain.
Scott has also paid close attention to integration and serviceability. The Syncros Octopus cable routing system keeps cables neatly concealed, while the UDH-compatible frame and threaded BSA bottom bracket simplify maintenance and future upgrades.
Fast climbing, efficient power transfer and confident descending have always been central to the Spark RC philosophy. With its combination of lightweight carbon construction, Fox Factory suspension and Shimano XT Di2 technology, the Scott Spark RC Expert is ready to tackle everything from local XC races to demanding marathon events and high-speed trail rides.
