Overview
About this bike
The Scott Spark 970 is light, capable, and fast - in short, a cross country dream. Its lightweight aluminum frame is durable, affordable and retains all the great geometry and ride of its carbon cousins. You’ll love the crisp-shifting, 20-speed Shimano drivetrain and powerful Shimano disc brakes that truly make every ride awesome. RockShox’s plush Judy Silver RL suspension fork and an X-Fusion RL shock tame rough terrain and can be locked out when you need maximum efficiency out of each pedal stroke. Quick-rolling 29-inch Syncros wheels spin easily to keep your momentum high, while tacky Maxxis tires grip the trail for excellent control. Syncros aluminum components finish out the 970's build ensuring miles of singletrack euphoria.
