Trying to order one now 🙏🙏

Just watched your riding video on the Spark just wondering what type of riding would you recommend for this bike. Great vids by the way…

XC through to fast/long distance trail is where it's happiest. What MTB used to be before knee pads and berms!

there are no gasket and sealing between the bottom cover and the bike. Water will get in, making the chamber a mud collector.

Love your live ride reviews and tech talk. Are you going to review the new canyon lux trail? Would love to hear what you think between similar speck spark vs the lux trail.

Should come with a 36T ring. Using those small cogs wears them fast, and a 52 x 36 is a pretty easy gear.

Depends on where you ride. Agree 32 is too small as standard.

When will the bike be available to buy from a shop/online. Hoping it’ll be available before the end of summer.

Great & thorough review. You know your stuff. 😉 I'm totally getting one of these. I have a couple of bikes & guitars to sell but it won't take long. I can place my order with a bike shop where I live & wait for it to arrive! 👍☮️🌞🌟🚲🚵🏼‍♀️

How does one become a bike reviewer of 25 years? Anyways.. I love the route that Scott is going. Pretty soon we'll see aero mtn bikes !

I'm 172cm and at the top of the S size or in mid lower part of a M size...any tips what size to choose?

Sounds like medium will be the best fit for you Michiel. It’s a relatively short seat tube anyway so you’ll still have plenty of room for a dropper post.

Would you be able to replace the shock

@GuyKesTV

Yep, you just pop off the rubber cover on the frame to access the top bolt, then undo the bottom one and out it comes

What size would you recommend for me...I am 1,78cm but have a very long inseam of 87cm [always ride an L..currently a Scalpel Si] ...and am between sizes on the Scott calculator...

Hello Are there bearings or bushings for lightness in pivots?

@GuyKesTV

They still use bearings for a smoother, longer lasting movement. Not many companies use bushings any more.

What if you gonna change a shock how to remove that. Sorry if my English is wrong, I'm Filipino

@GuyKesTV

3 жыл бұрын

Don't worry Jaime, your English is great. You can access the top shock bolt under a little rubber cover and then that lets the lower shock bolt come into view so you can unbolt the whole shock. It's obviously a bit more complex to line up when re-fitting but I've seen worse TBH, like bikes where you have to remove the chainset to tighten the shock or the pivot bolts.

Why not keep one lever for brakes by just adjusting brake bias and pressure levels.

With e-bikes and bikes like this slowly becoming the norm bike mechanics should be really earning more now then min wage :)

Why not keep one lever for brakes by just adjusting brake bias.

This is only the second time I´m impressed with a modern FS bike, first time it was an Alutech in 2016 and now this. The only thing this lacks is adjustable/sliding "dropouts" for the rear axle and adjustable link/linkage giving us choice to run what ever wheels we want and gear/gear less if so desired by the rider. I mean these bikes are so expensive now rivalling the price of motorcycles and in some cases even wheel base :) that we should get a little bit freedom to equip/custom the bikes as we please.

I have the " old " model, with 100mm suspension, RC team, swaped the handlebar and seatpost from alloy to carbon and xtr pedals, its 11 kg. I like this bike but to be honest i dont need extra 1 kg or 2.4 tyres or 120 suspension. I think Scott is aiming at very technichal XCO circuits, besides that ill stick with mine for now. Enjoy !

It is damn good.

My friend put this bike together for his son and before I knew it he was done kzread.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L When the son came to put it together he was surprised to see it was already done. All he had to do was take the bike to get air and be on his way. My friend did not have any major problems putting this bike together; small issue was putting one of the brakes on straight; however when the son got home he was able to fix it. The bike rides well gears move correctly; good bike for the price. Wrote review after the son took the bike. Sorry.

Heavy. I’d take mechanical shifting and better wheels for the same price, which would lighten it up a bit. 12kg is too heavy for a race bike.
