Overview
About this bike
With an impeccable balance of low weight, dialed, nimble handling, and confident, stable steering, Scott's Contessa Spark 700 RC is ready for marathons, cross-country racing, and epic weekends with your crew. The IMP carbon frame accelerates instantly, its short chainstays and Boost rear end keep it quick and responsive, and the 68.5-degree head angle ensure confidence and stability at speed. A 120mm-travel Fox fork tears through chunder and steers with precision. The Fox Nude shock takes big hits and small, and both the fork and rear shock can be controlled with a flick of your finger across Scott's Twinlock handlebar-mounted remote. For the ever-changing trail, spry 27.5-inch Syncros XR wheels carry your momentum and deftly navigate rock gardens, while fast-rolling Schwalbe tires grip the trail for excellent control. A 1 x 11-speed SRAM X0/X1 drivetrain is paired with Shimano XTR brakes for slick shifting and powerful stopping. 700mm-wide bars give you just the right amount of leverage and the Syncros Women's saddle ensures comfortable support no matter how long the ride.
