At 11.3 kg (24.9 lbs) in tubeless setup, it competes at the weight and performance tier used by XCO World Cup athletes, and every specification choice reflects that priority. This is not a trail bike that happens to be light — it is an XC race machine with 120mm of travel front and rear that also handles technical course features and sustained climbing with equal competence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe suspension system is the defining feature of this build. Both the \u003cstrong\u003eRockShox SID Ultimate Flight Attendant fork\u003c\/strong\u003e (120mm, 44mm offset, tapered steerer) and the \u003cstrong\u003eRockShox SIDLuxe Ultimate Flight Attendant Custom rear shock\u003c\/strong\u003e (120mm, T165X45mm) run RockShox's electronic Flight Attendant system, which automatically reads terrain inputs and adjusts compression damping in real time without rider input. The system operates across three modes (Lockout, Pedal, Descend) and responds faster than any manual lever or remote. On XC race terrain, this translates to efficient power transfer on climbs and open suspension when it's needed on technical descents, without the cognitive overhead of managing a suspension remote during a race.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSCOTT's Integrated Suspension Technology mounts the shock internally within the frame, improving lateral stiffness at the pivot and lowering the center of gravity relative to externally-mounted shocks. The flex pivot in the seat stay eliminates a bearing while reducing unsprung mass — a design choice SCOTT has refined over multiple generations of the Spark platform. The headset uses a Syncros-Acros angle-adjust system that allows the head angle to be shifted ±0.6 degrees by rotating the cups 180 degrees, without cutting cables or bleeding brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drivetrain is \u003cstrong\u003eSRAM X0 AXS Eagle Transmission\u003c\/strong\u003e, SRAM's wireless electronic 12-speed system with the integrated derailleur-and-cassette Transmission architecture that eliminates a traditional hanger and uses a direct-mount interface on the frame's UDH dropout. Shifting is controlled by SRAM AXS Rocker Pod controllers. The crankset is SRAM X0 Eagle with an integrated spindle power meter and a 34T chainring at 55mm chainline. The cassette runs 10-52T, covering a gear range suitable for both XC sprint finishes and steep technical climbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBraking is handled by \u003cstrong\u003eSRAM Motive Silver 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes\u003c\/strong\u003e with SRAM HS2 CL rotors — 180mm front, 160mm rear. Four-piston calipers provide greater braking force and modulation than two-piston units, important when descending at race pace on technical terrain. The wheelset is Syncros Silverton 1.0-30 CL carbon — 30mm internal width, tubeless-ready, 28H, with Syncros hubs running an XD driver body. Maxxis Rekon Race 29x2.4-inch tires in 120TPI foldable EXO casing roll fast on hardpack while retaining enough volume for trail traction. The cockpit is a Syncros Fraser iC SL XC carbon bar and stem combo that routes all cables and hoses internally through the headset — 740mm wide, -12° rise, 8° back sweep. A Syncros Duncan Dropper seatpost (31.6mm, 100mm drop on all sizes) is standard spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompetitive XCO and marathon racers looking for a World Cup-specification platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExperienced riders who prioritize power efficiency and climbing performance without sacrificing technical descending capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders who want electronic suspension automation rather than manual suspension management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot suited for enduro or all-mountain riding — 120mm travel is purpose-built for XC terrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot the right choice for riders who prefer to manage suspension manually; Flight Attendant is the spec, not an optional add-on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to Look For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Spark RC uses XC-specific geometry; riders near a size boundary should compare reach and stack numbers rather than relying on height alone — Victory Bicycle Studio can assist with fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlight Attendant battery management:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fork and shock pods require periodic charging via the AXS app; factor this into race-day preparation routines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTubeless setup:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Silverton wheelset and Rekon Race tires are tubeless-ready and sealant is included — running tubeless is the intended configuration and reduces flat risk at race pressures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spark RC Carbon HMF — SCOTT's high-modulus carbon construction — with patented Integrated Suspension Technology (internally-mounted shock), flex pivot seat stay, Syncros Cable Integration System for full internal routing, BB92 shell, UDH Interface for SRAM Transmission compatibility, and 12x148mm rear axle.
