Scott Mountain bike Spark 970 2025 silver

Fast is fun. SCOTT Spark 970 full suspension cross country mountain bike aims to be the most fun bike you can find because they believe it’s also the fastest bike you can find for the price. Built with perfection. It really is one of the most successful full suspension bikes on the World Cup, but it is also one of Scott's most popular non-racer bike. Beyond the fact that it is fast, lightweight and ultra capable on all sorts of terrain, it's just damned good lookin'. 

 A rugged alloy frame is lightweight, strong and climbs like a dream with a beefed up suspension system to add a little extra downhill capability to the already quick cross country legend. Boasting SCOTT’s patented new Integrated Suspension Technology which stealthily conceals the rear shock inside the frame, the Spark offers an unrivaled level of performance and possibilities. Racing up and down hills, flying through rock gardens and sending it through the neverending berms and jumps has never been more within reach. 

This bike is up for anything. Featuring a RockShox Judy Silver TK Solo Air 130mm fork and X-Fusion Nude 5 shock with SCOTT’s TwinLoc remote system, the SCOTT Spark 970 is ready to hit the bumpy trails. A SRAM NX/SX Eagle 1x12 drivetrain with an integrated power meter blend with a Shimano disc brake set to provide an unmatched level of stop and go performance. A set of 29 inch Syncros X-30SE TR wheels and Schwalbe Wicked Will tires with a 2.4 inch width create a dependable and responsive footprint to ensure maximum traction and power transfer from leg to the dirt.

It's lightweight, durable, affordable.

Why 29” wheels?

• 29" bikes for better control - thanks to a larger contact area with the ground, they offer you improved traction and better control while riding
• 29" bikes for higher speed - simple physics: larger diameter, higher speed
• 29" bikes for a smoother ride - larger wheels make it easier to overcome smaller and larger obstacles on the trail
• 29" bikes for taller bikers – simply because they are larger
