Scott Spark RC SL Piano Black Carbon Black full-suspension mountain bike 2027

The 2027 Spark RC SL Scott is a top-of-the-range full-suspension carbon mountain bike designed for cross-country and XC marathon riders seeking maximum performance.

Its Spark RC HMX SL Carbon Gen5 frame, weighing just 1, 427 g without the shock, forms the heart of this exceptional bike and prioritises lightness, stiffness and responsiveness. With 120 mm of travel at the front and rear, the Spark RC SL combines pedalling efficiency, traction and control on technical XC terrain. The RockShox Flight Attendant suspension electronically adjusts its performance in real time to automatically optimise the bike’s handling according to the terrain. The SID Ultimate Flight Attendant fork ( RockShox ) and the SIDLuxe Ultimate Flight Attendant rear shock ( RockShox ) deliver precise performance and excellent control over the full 120 mm of travel.

The SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS 12-speed drivetrain ensures fast and precise gear changes thanks to its wireless electronic operation. The SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS carbon crankset features a Spider Powermeter, ideal for measuring and optimising XC performance. The SRAM Motive Ultimate 4-piston brakes provide powerful and progressive control on descents and technical sections.

The Syncros Silverton CF1 carbon wheels, with carbon spokes and 30 mm rims, enhance the responsiveness and precision of this full-suspension mountain bike. The Maxxis Aspen 29 x 2.4-inch Race Edition tyres offer an excellent balance between efficiency, grip and control on cross-country trails. The RockShox Reverb AXS dropper seatpost allows the rider’s position to be quickly adjusted to suit changes in the terrain. The carbon components Syncros, Ceramic Speed bearings and titanium bolts underline the exceptional build quality of the Spark RC SL.

Weighing approximately 9.9 kg in the ‘ Tubeless ’ version, the 2027 Spark RC SL Scott stands out as a particularly light, high-performance XC mountain bike, tailor-made for competition.
