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

Written by

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
