2027 Scott Spark RC SL XC Mountain Bike
The 2027 SCOTT Spark RC SL is the ultimate expression of modern cross-country performance, designed for riders who demand uncompromising speed, precision and efficiency. Developed alongside World Cup athletes, it delivers an incredibly connected ride, responding instantly to every pedal stroke, corner and line choice so you can concentrate on riding faster rather than thinking about the bike beneath you.
At the heart of the Spark RC SL is SCOTT's lightest and most advanced HMX-SL carbon frame. Every detail has been refined to reduce weight without sacrificing stiffness or strength, creating a bike that accelerates effortlessly, climbs with exceptional efficiency and inspires confidence on technical descents. It's not simply about being lighter—it's about achieving the perfect balance between responsiveness, stability and control.
The carefully optimised geometry places the rider in an ideal position for modern cross-country racing, offering confident handling through tight corners, improved traction on steep climbs and outstanding stability when the trail points downhill. Whether you're racing at World Cup level or chasing personal bests on your local trails, the Spark RC SL is built to perform.
Suspension performance is elevated by RockShox Flight Attendant, an intelligent electronic suspension system that continuously monitors rider input and trail conditions, automatically selecting the optimum suspension mode in real time. By seamlessly switching between Lock, Pedal and Descend modes, the system maximises efficiency, grip and comfort without the need for manual adjustments, allowing you to stay fully focused on the trail ahead.
A premium specification completes the package. The SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS Transmission drivetrain delivers lightning-fast wireless shifting under load, while the Syncros Silverton CF1 carbon wheels provide outstanding acceleration, precise handling and exceptional durability. CeramicSpeed bearings further reduce rolling resistance, ensuring every watt of your effort is transferred efficiently into forward speed.
Despite its cutting-edge technology, the Spark RC SL has been designed with practicality in mind. Its clean, integrated design and rider-focused engineering make routine maintenance straightforward, helping you spend less time in the workshop and more time doing what matters most—riding.
Whether you're lining up on a World Cup start line, tackling marathon events or chasing KOMs on your favourite trails, the 2027 SCOTT Spark RC SL delivers the speed, confidence and refinement to perform at the very highest level.
