Verdict
CROSS COUNTRY DOWNHILL
The new Scott Spark is a very innovative and refined full. With the Twin Loc system it is versatile in various conditions of use: from the most technical uphill to the roughest downhill. Low, long, stable stance. We would like to recommend it to more advanced bikers because compared to the other aggressive ones cross country, proves to be more stable and suitable for more technical sections, it being understood that uphill it is second to none.
| + | - |
| • Twin Loc • Stability on the descent | • Lack of telescopic • Weight slightly higher than other full from XC |
