While it’s not always so quick to turn, the 60mm stem keeps the Spark’s steering light and responsive enough to micro-manage lines and traction. The 34mm fork is noticeably stiff once you start loading it up in turns or under braking, and the trail-tough tyres on 25mm rims offer plenty of grip and low-pressure support. The frame and fork stiffness means any power you generate isn’t wasted Mick Kirkman / Immediate Media Scott Spark 940 ride experienceĮven with a mid-width 740mm flat bar, the 67-degree head angle gives the Spark a reassuring amount of self-correcting stability. You also get 12-speed SRAM GX Eagle gearing, putting the 940 on point for value. You even get a short-stroke dropper post so you can throw your weight around. A 180mm rotor adds more power to the back brake. This starts with a relatively stout-legged Fox 34 fork that has 120mm of travel and is linked to the TwinLoc lever on the bar so that it syncs with the rear shock.Īll-weather Maxxis Forekaster tyres on mid-width rims mean you’re not left tiptoeing around in the wet. The equipment is clearly trail-orientated. Scott has always pushed aggressive trail geometry on short-travel bikes, and the Spark gets a 67-degree head angle and long wheelbase and reach. Stiffness is good, though, and it has some sweet detailing.Ī Boost back-end and press-fit bottom bracket add stiffness, and you even get a minimal guide to keep the chain connected in crazier moments. It weighs 500g more than the semi-carbon HMF Spark too. At around 3,000g (with shock and remote), the all-alloy frame is a kilo heavier than Scott’s flagship HMX carbon chassis.
