The weather played nice for the Sun Valley Bike Festival in Idaho last week, where
Mountain got a sneak peek at the Scott Spark Carbon.

With just under five inches of travel and a feathery carbon build, the 26-inch Spark is both trail bike and race machine, depending upon the day and how you spec it out. Photo by Marc Peruzzi

The suspension has also been upgraded thanks to an exclusive RockShox SID with “DNA3,” a three-position motion control fork up front, and a DT Nude2 (also with three positions) on the frame. Photo by Marc Peruzzi
The tables are turned and riders carry bikes for a river crossing.

The frame and rear shock come in at 1790 grams with the remote controlled Twinlock (lever-operated suspension tuning) in place. Photo by Marc Peruzzi
We’ll be calling a Scott Spark Carbon in (with a drop seat post and tubeless tires) for our fall tests. Photo by Marc Peruzzi
