SCOTT Spark RC SL – MTB Cross-Country Carbon HMX-SL
The SCOTT Spark RC SL is the ultimate cross-country mountain bike designed to deliver precision under stress, maximum responsiveness and control even at high speeds. Designed for those seeking race performance on XC and marathon trails, it creates a direct connection between rider and terrain, allowing you to focus on pedaling, line choice and speed.
At the heart of the SCOTT Spark RC SL is the Spark RC HMX SL Carbon Gen5 frame, the lightest and finest 120 mm frame in the SCOTT range. Every gram has been optimized to achieve a bike capable of accelerating quickly, moving with agility over technical terrain, and responding immediately to rider input.
Lightness, however, is not the only goal. The geometry of the Spark RC SL is designed to provide balance, cornering confidence, climbing efficiency and downhill stability. The result is a full suspended cross-country MTB that combines light weight, control, and real performance on modern trails.
RockShox Flight Attendant electronic suspension.
The SCOTT Spark RC SL uses advanced suspension kinematics combined with the RockShox Flight Attendant electronic system. The RockShox SID Ultimate Flight Attendant fork and the RockShox SIDLuxe Ultimate Flight Attendant rear shock adjust the bike’s behavior in real time, adapting to the terrain conditions.
The automatic electronic system listens to the rider and responds instantly, choosing the optimal suspension settings between Lockout, Pedal and Descend modes. This helps maintain traction, smoothness and stability even on the most challenging trails, leaving the rider free to focus solely on riding.
With 120 mm of travel front and rear, the Spark RC SL is ready to tackle modern XC trails where speed, technique and control are key.
Top-of-the-line setup for World Cup performance
The SCOTT Spark RC SL is built with top-of-the-line components chosen to increase speed, precision and reliability. The SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS Trans mission 12-speed transmission offers precise and fast wireless electronic shifting, even under stress.
The SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS Transmission crankset with carbon cranks and integrated Spider Powermeter enables power monitoring during training and competition. Syncros Silverton CF1 carbon, tubeless ready wheels with carbon spokes and 30 mm rim help make the bike fast, light and precise in riding.
CeramicSpeed bearings, titanium hardware and the Syncros carbon HMX-SL cockpit complete a package designed for those who want the ultimate in cross-country and marathon racing.
Control, integration and practicality
The SCOTT Spark RC SL is designed not only to be fast, but also to be practical to use and maintain. The Syncros Octopus cable integration Gen2 system allows for neat and integrated cable routing, while the adjustable head angle and fork lock help adapt the bike to the rider’s preferences and type of trail.
The RockShox Reverb AXS telescopic seatpost adds control on technical sections and descents, improving freedom of movement. Maxxis Aspen 29×2.4″ Race Edition Maxxspeed tubeless ready tires offer smoothness, light weight and grip on XC trails.
With a target weight of about 9.9 kg tubeless, without Save the Day Kit, the Spark RC SL is one of the lightest and best performing solutions for those looking for a professional-level full suspended cross-country MTB.
