The SCOTT Spark 970 offers the entry-level rider or seasoned veteran on a budget a very fast XC machine that retains all the great geometry and ride of its carbon cousins with a durable and lightweight alloy frame. It offers finely tuned suspension damping with a 120mm travel RockShox Judy Silver RL fork and X-Fusion RL shock that also soaks up 120mm of chop. It gets up and goes via Shimano Deore drivetrain with a wide gear range that gives you an edge on climbs without sacrificing top-end speed during descents where you’ll make good use of powerful Shimano hydraulic brakes. Syncros components outfit the balance of the Spark 970, with X-25 wheels and lightweight alloy controls that offer good trail feel with stiffness and precision to win races or simply make the most of a day on the trail.
