2027 SCOTT Spark RC World Cup EVO Mountain Bike

World Cup Performance Without Compromise

The 2027 SCOTT Spark RC World Cup EVO is a high-performance cross-country mountain bike engineered for riders who demand exceptional precision, speed and control. Designed to turn every effort into forward momentum, it creates a seamless connection between rider and terrain, allowing you to concentrate on the race rather than the bike beneath you.

Built around SCOTT’s lightweight Spark RC HMX carbon frame, the World Cup EVO combines responsive handling, balanced geometry and electronically controlled suspension with a premium race-ready specification. Whether sprinting out of a corner, attacking a steep climb or holding a precise line through technical terrain, the Spark RC World Cup EVO is designed to respond instantly to rider input.

Developed for cross-country and marathon riding, this is a bike capable of delivering elite-level performance everywhere from local race courses to the most demanding World Cup tracks.

Lightweight Spark RC HMX Carbon Frame

At the heart of the Spark RC World Cup EVO is SCOTT’s Spark RC HMX Carbon Gen5 frame. Every gram and structural detail has been refined to create a bike that accelerates effortlessly while maintaining the stiffness, balance and reliability required for modern cross-country racing.

The frame uses the same proven design trusted by the SCOTT-SRAM MTB Racing Team during its World Cup season. Its geometry has been optimised to keep the rider in control across every section of the course, delivering efficiency on climbs, agility through corners and stability over rough terrain.

A low and centralised shock position helps improve stability, cornering precision and overall control. Carefully tuned lateral, vertical and torsional flex also work together to enhance grip, line control and efficiency, creating a ride that feels responsive, predictable and fast.

The frame also features an adjustable head angle, fork lock, titanium hardware, CeramicSpeed bearings, a BSA bottom bracket and a UDH interface.

RockShox Flight Attendant Suspension

The Spark RC World Cup EVO is equipped with RockShox Flight Attendant electronic suspension, designed to respond automatically to the rider and terrain in real time.

The system uses electronically controlled RockShox SID Ultimate and SIDLuxe Ultimate suspension to continually optimise the bike’s settings. It automatically selects between Lock, Pedal and Descend modes, helping maximise efficiency, traction and control without requiring constant manual adjustment.

The result is suspension that adapts as the trail changes, keeping the wheels connected to the ground while helping the bike remain efficient during hard accelerations and climbs.

With 120mm of travel at the front and rear, the Spark RC World Cup EVO is prepared for the technical demands of modern cross-country racing.

SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS Transmission

The Spark RC World Cup EVO features a premium SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS Transmission 12-speed drivetrain, delivering fast and accurate wireless electronic shifting.

A SRAM AXS Rocker Pod Controller provides clean and intuitive operation, while the 10–52T cassette offers a wide gear range for everything from steep technical climbs to fast race sections.

The SRAM XX carbon crankset includes an integrated spindle power meter, allowing performance-focused riders to accurately measure their effort during training and racing. A 34-tooth chainring completes the race-ready drivetrain setup.

Syncros Silverton CF1 Carbon Wheels

The bike rolls on lightweight Syncros Silverton CF1 carbon wheels, featuring 30mm-wide tubeless-ready carbon rims and carbon spokes.

Designed to enhance acceleration, accuracy and control, the Silverton CF1 wheelset helps the Spark RC World Cup EVO respond instantly when the pace increases. A ratchet freehub system and Boost hub spacing complete the high-performance wheel package.

The wheels are fitted with Maxxis Aspen 29 x 2.4-inch Race Edition tyres at the front and rear. Featuring a 120 TPI casing, MaxxSpeed compound and tubeless-ready construction, they are designed to deliver efficient rolling performance and dependable grip for cross-country racing.

SRAM Motive Ultimate Four-Piston Brakes

Powerful SRAM Motive Ultimate four-piston hydraulic disc brakes provide the controlled stopping performance required for technical XC courses.

A 180mm front rotor and 160mm rear rotor balance braking power with the lightweight requirements of a premium race bike, helping riders maintain control through steep, rough and high-speed sections.

RockShox Reverb AXS Dropper Post

The electronically controlled RockShox Reverb AXS dropper post allows the rider to lower the saddle quickly when approaching technical descents.

SCOTT has designed the Spark RC platform to support increased dropper-post insertion. Every frame size can accommodate at least a 150mm dropper, while larger sizes can support posts with up to 200mm of travel.

This allows riders to lower their centre of gravity, move more freely around the bike and maintain better grip and control on challenging terrain.

Integrated Syncros Carbon Cockpit

A Syncros IC-M100-SL2 HMF carbon integrated cockpit provides a clean and precise front end.

The one-piece handlebar and stem has a 740mm width, seven-degree backsweep and a negative ten-degree angle, creating a race-focused riding position while contributing to the bike’s streamlined appearance.

SCOTT’s patented Syncros Octopus Cable-Routing Technology guides each cable through its own dedicated internal duct. This produces a clean finish while making installation and servicing more intuitive.

Improved Serviceability and Suspension Access

Despite its advanced integration, the Spark RC World Cup EVO has been designed to make maintenance and suspension setup straightforward.

Magnetic and clipped frame covers provide easy access to the rear shock and internal components. The covers are sealed to protect the suspension from dirt and water, while a large frame drain hole helps remove any moisture that enters the chassis.

The Spark RC platform is also compatible with standard XC rear shocks, giving riders greater flexibility when selecting or upgrading their suspension. A clear sag and travel indicator assists with accurate setup.

Larger double-sealed bearings help maintain smooth suspension performance for longer, while CeramicSpeed SLT bearings are used within the HMX frame.

Integrated Tools and Trail Essentials

The Spark RC World Cup EVO includes practical integrated equipment for trailside adjustments and repairs.

The Syncros Save the Day Kit IS-M100, Syncros Tool and Tubeless Handlebar Kit provide convenient storage for essential equipment. The included tool offers the fittings required for common bike and suspension adjustments, while the handlebar grips are ready to accept a tubeless plug storage kit.

A SRAM AXS Powerpack, Milkit sealant and transport axle are also included.
