Every detail is tuned to open up the trail without limitation. The 140mm front and 135mm rear travel provides the ideal range to climb efficiently, carve descents with confidence, and absorb the rough stuff in between. A low centre of mass enhances stability through flow trails and jump lines, while the lightweight HMF carbon frame delivers efficient acceleration and lively handling out of switchbacks and onto open singletrack. Together, they represent a step forward for what short-travel trail riding should be. Traction, control, and comfort are delivered by RockShox's Pike fork and Deluxe Traction shock—a setup that brings plush, responsive handling to dynamic terrain. From lunch laps and focused sessions to full weekend adventures, it's a combination built to elevate every second of the ride. The component spec rounds out a capable and considered package. Shimano's Deore 12-speed drivetrain delivers confident, reliable shifting across every condition, while integrated frame storage and a dedicated frame mount make it straightforward to load up for longer days or light bikepacking when you want to put the bike to work. Performance also extends to practicality. Improved serviceability and tunability are built into the design, so you can keep the bike dialed and spend less time in the workshop—and more time focused on the trail ahead.

Shock Compatibility Scott get it, riders love their own setups. So they designed the frame with plenty of space and compatibility for a wide range of aftermarket shocks. Run what you like. Swap what you want. The Spark DC accommodates aftermarket shock options from leading suspension brands such as, RockShox SidLux XL FA, RockShox SidLux XL, Fox Float, Öhlins TTX22M.2, RockShox Super Deluxe. Frame Access Clean looks need to come with clean solutions. That’s why Scott reinvented the way of accessing the internal compartment with a new magnetic down tube cover, faster and simpler than ever. Clipped in place, it prevents excessive dirt and dust to accumulate and get into your frame. This not only keeps the shock performing at its best for longer, but also speeds up cleaning your bike after a muddy day out. Save-The-Day-Kit & Tool No modern mountain bike should be without a smart in-frame storage solution. At SCOTT Spots they call this “Save The Day Kit”, which features a neat in-frame bag including a super-light tube, a pump, and a set of tyre leavers. On top, a additionally included tool allows all adjustments required for daily use on the bike: a 6mm hex, a T25 Torx for the rear axle and additional frame hardware, and depending on the shock spec, a 3mm or 2.5mm hex for shock adjustment. Cable Routing Run your cables the way you want to. The Spark DC gives you multiple routing options plus smart touches to keep everything clean, quiet, and out of the way, without adding unnecessary complexity. You can choose between the clean looking sleek integrated solution through the headset, or route your cables through the head tube badge while running a “regular” bar/stem combination. Sag & Travel Setting up your suspension just got foolproof. The integrated SAG Indicator helps you dial things in fast and keep track of your travel as you ride. Frame Fender We all sometimes like to get dirty, but mostly we like to stay clean. Pop on the frame fenders and keep the crud away. Easy, practical, and genuinely handy when the weather turns bad. Steering Stopper Not needed, till you need it. In the event of a crash, the Steering Stopper protects your frame and controls the overrotation of your handlebar. It’s also removable if you prefer full freedom.
