Scott SPARK 970 Review
Ludwig Döhl
With the SPARK 970 , Scott has gone into full innovation mode. The damper integrated into the frame and the sleek cable routing on the handlebars not only make the bike an aesthetic eye-catcher, but also bring real advantages when riding. The unique design combines a low frame weight, best stiffness values and also offers space for two bottle cages in the frame. Of course, the Twin-Loc lever for locking the undercarriage is also standard on the new Spark. Scott is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the Trailbike von Scott to tours on lower mountains a buying recommendation in the price range 2799 Euro range. We like: 5 years warranty on the frame!
