The Spark DC 40 Scott is a full-suspension mountain bike designed for riders who want to make the most of every ride, combining cross-country speed with backcountry versatility. Its lightweight Spark DC HMF Carbon frame offers efficient acceleration and dynamic handling on fast trails, whilst maintaining a low centre of gravity that improves stability on technical trails and when jumping.
The 140 mm front and 138 mm rear travel, provided by the RockShox Pike fork and the RockShox Deluxe shock, offers the ideal travel for climbing efficiently, tackling descents with confidence and absorbing uneven terrain. This setup delivers traction, control and comfort on dynamic terrain, from lunchtime rides to weekend adventures.
Shimano ’s 12-speed Deore drivetrain ensures smooth and reliable gear changes whatever the conditions, whilst Shimano ’s hydraulic disc brakes guarantee controlled stopping power. The integrated frame storage and dedicated rack make it easy to load up for long days out or light bikepacking trips. The ‘ Syncros ’ components (dropper seatpost, handlebars, integrated tool) round off a high-performance kit designed to simplify maintenance and adjustments.

The Spark DC 40 Scott offers 140 mm of travel at the front and 138 mm at the rear.
This setup is provided by a RockShox Pike fork at the front and a RockShox Deluxe shock at the rear. This travel allows for efficient climbing whilst retaining the ability to absorb technical challenges on descents, making it a versatile trail bike rather than a pure cross-country machine.
The frame’s low centre of gravity also improves stability on the trails and when jumping, complementing this travel.
The Spark DC 40 Scott is fitted with a 12-speed Deore drivetrain from Shimano.
According to information provided by Scott, this drivetrain offers smooth and reliable gear changes whatever the conditions encountered on the trails. It forms part of a system designed to minimise maintenance time and maximise time spent out on the trails.
The rest of the drivetrain (crankset, front derailleur) is not specified in the technical specifications provided for this model.
The frame of the Spark DC 40 Scott is made from HMF carbon.
This lightweight frame is designed to offer efficient acceleration and dynamic handling on fast-rolling trails. It also features a dedicated storage compartment within the frame, complete with a specialised mount, to make loading easier on long days or light bikepacking trips.
Combined with a low centre of gravity, this frame is designed to improve the bike’s overall stability on the trails.
The Spark DC 40 Scott is fitted with Shimano hydraulic disc brakes.
This Shimano hydraulic disc braking system delivers the power and modulation required for trail riding, where technical descents demand precise and consistent braking. The exact part numbers for the calipers and the front/rear disc diameters are not specified in the available specifications.
