2027 Scott Spark DC Factory Bike

Some rides last an hour. Some disappear into the mountains. Some become the stories you'll tell long after they're over. The all-new Spark DC is built for every one of them. Inspired by Scott's XC racing heritage and reimagined for today's trail rider, the Spark DC blends lightweight performance, confident trail handling and rider-focused integration into one incredibly versatile package. Rather than asking riders to choose between efficiency and capability, the Spark DC delivers both. Impressed so far? Keep reading to discover the all-new Spark DC and the technologies that make it our most versatile downcountry bike yet.

Light Where It Matters

Lightweight performance isn't about chasing grams. It's about finishing the climb with enough energy for one more descent. The completely redesigned frame positions mass low and central, creating a chassis that feels remarkably stable through technical terrain while remaining agile and efficient on every climb.

A refined carbon structure, optimized tube profiles and lightweight flex-pivot suspension deliver an exceptional balance of stiffness, durability and weight.
Every gram serves a purpose. Every pedal stroke counts.

Built To Flow

At the heart of the Spark DC sits an all-new flex-pivot suspension platform delivering 138mm of highly efficient rear travel. Supportive under power. Supple when traction matters. Controlled when the trail gets rough. Combined with a custom-tuned shock featuring low-friction bearing mounts, the rear wheel stays connected to the trail for improved grip, confidence and control.

Confidence Comes Naturally

Modern geometry inspired by both our XC race bikes and longer-travel trail platforms delivers handling that feels instantly familiar. Stable at speed. Agile through tight corners. Predictable when the trail becomes technical. An adjustable headset allows riders to fine-tune steering characteristics to suit personal preference and local terrain.

Magnetic By Design

Innovation should simplify the ride. The magnetic frame cover provides immediate access to the shock, in-frame storage and integrated tools with a simple click. Fast. Clean. Tool-free. The interchangeable cover also accommodates a wide variety of modern XC and trail shocks while sealing the frame against dirt and debris.

Save-The-Day Kit

Prepared for every adventure. The integrated Save The Day Kit stores your tube, pump, tire levers and integrated multi-tool safely inside the frame. Always available. Never in the way. Because the best rides don't always go according to plan.

Your Setup. Your Way.

The patented Syncros OCT (Octopus Cable Technology) allows riders to choose between fully integrated cable routing or a more traditional cockpit setup. Soft tube-in-tube cable guides eliminate unwanted noise while improving serviceability. Clean. Quiet. Simple.

Ready For More

Integrated accessory mounts provide space for additional equipment whenever the ride demands it. Whether carrying extra nutrition, an additional layer or ride essentials, the Spark DC adapts without compromising its clean design.

Stay Clean

Integrated pop-on frame fenders help keep mud where it belongs. Quick to install. Easy to remove. Always ready when conditions change.

Perfect Setup. Made Easy.

The integrated SAG & Travel Indicator removes the guesswork from suspension setup. Dial in suspension quickly. Monitor travel throughout the ride. Get the most from every millimeter.

Protection When It Matters.

Integrated frame protection throughout the Spark DC keeps the bike performing at its best. The Steering Stopper prevents handlebar over-rotation during crashes, protecting the frame from unnecessary impact damage.

One Bike. Endless Possibilities.

Whether it's an after-work ride, a weekend epic or discovering your next favorite trail, the Spark DC removes the small barriers that stand between you and a great ride.
Ride further. Explore more. And keep stacking moments,not medals.
