Scott Bike Spark 920 (2018)

There have been some refinements ahead of the current model range. As it comes, the Spark 920 is ready for marathon or stage race action with all the required elements of comfort and control firmly in place. A handlebar with less backsweep and a wider front tyre with a more aggressive side-knob tread would probably change that. What it is instead is a bike that is just at home on a tight cross country course as it is on technical singletrack. Give us a call during shop hours, or send us an email anytime at. It corners well, and it feels superbike-quick when climbing, translating every bit of effort into forward momentum.

Scott also adds their TwinLoc suspension remote lever, the ideal companion for ever-changing terrain. . All the parts are proven in terms of reliability and, as a combination, just work. This calls for shorter chainstays, a steeper seat tube angle, a slacker head tube angle, and increased overall reach. A Fox Transfer dropper seatpost raises and lowers the saddle reliably, while a Syncros Silverton 2. The Twin-Loc control lever is still there, with improved actuation.

Mountain bikes are better than they ever have been. Give us a call during business hours, or send us an email at. A pivotless alloy swingarm cuts weight, and improves reliability and stiffness out of the saddle. For 2019 Scott also increased clearance to 29 x 2. And therein is probably the formula that makes the bike somewhat of a gem.

The Fox Nude suspension is certainly next-level and a superb feature on a R40 000 bike. Called a trunnion-mount shock, it allows for much greater small-bump sensitivity without sacrificing mid-travel support; further, it resists bottoming out toward the end of travel, making the bike feel like it has much more travel than 120mm might suggest. Have any questions about the 2019 Scott Spark 920? This starts with a revised shock placement that cuts weight along the top tube, stiffens up the bottom bracket area, and above else makes the shock more linear across the range. More and more, the cycling industry is pushing mountain bikes of all kinds closer toward the oft-praised enduro bike geometry. We decided the wheels were little on the heavy side for a R40 000 bike, but they did prove to be strong, as many of our rides involved negotiating rocky terrain but without even a slight wiggle.

We felt notably comfortable on the Spark 920 on long rides. Our stronger testers never found a need to use the granny ring, but one of our newcomer testers said he was grateful for it… At a touch over 12kg, the Spark 920 is reasonably light. Even in the span of five years, mountain bikes climb and descend better than ever, and are designed to be even more confidence-inspiring regardless of terrain. However, much of this versatility is thanks to the updated suspension setup, it can also be attributed to updated geometry. The Spark also receives an upgraded 44mm-offset fork for greater stability at high speeds and clearance for up to a 29 x 2. .
