Combining a lightweight HMF carbon frame, 140mm front suspension and 135mm rear travel, it offers a versatile setup for everything from flowing singletrack to challenging trail centre routes and longer mountain adventures.The fifth-generation Spark DC HMF carbon frame features Scott's integrated suspension design, positioning the rear shock within the frame to help lower the bike's centre of gravity. This contributes to balanced handling and stability when navigating corners, rough terrain and technical sections.The frame also features an adjustable head angle, allowing riders to fine-tune the steering characteristics to suit their riding preferences. A slacker setting provides additional stability on steep descents, while a steeper setting offers more responsive steering on tighter trails.Scott's Syncros Cable Integration System Gen2 keeps cables neatly routed through the cockpit and frame, helping protect them from dirt and debris. The frame also features a threaded BSA bottom bracket, UDH interface and Boost 12x148mm rear spacing.Integrated frame storage provides space for carrying essential tools and spares, while additional mounting options make the Spark DC 20 suitable for longer rides and bikepacking adventures.Fox Factory SuspensionThe Scott Spark DC 20 features Fox Factory suspension front and rear, providing adjustable performance for a wide range of trail conditions.Up front, the Fox 36SL Factory fork delivers 140mm of travel, combining a lightweight chassis with the stiffness needed for technical trail riding. Its GRIP SL damper offers three compression settings, allowing riders to adjust suspension support for climbing, flowing trails and rough descents.Kashima-coated stanchions help reduce friction for smooth suspension movement, while adjustable rebound allows riders to fine-tune how quickly the fork returns after compression.At the rear, the Fox Float Factory EVOL shock provides 135mm of suspension travel and features Scott's custom Traction Control system.The three-position suspension adjustment offers Lockout, Traction Control and Descend modes, allowing riders to adapt the bike's suspension behaviour to different terrain.Lockout provides a firmer platform for smooth climbs, Traction Control adjusts suspension behaviour to support efficient pedalling and maintain traction, while Descend mode opens the suspension for greater comfort and control on rougher trails.The shock also features low-speed compression and rebound adjustment, allowing riders to fine-tune suspension performance to suit their weight, riding style and terrain.Shimano XT Di2 Wireless DrivetrainThe Spark DC 20 features Shimano's XT Di2 12-speed wireless electronic drivetrain, delivering precise gear changes without traditional shift cables.The Shimano XT RD-M8250 rear derailleur works alongside a Deore Di2 SW-M6250 shifter, providing responsive electronic shifting across the wide-range cassette.A Shimano XT FC-M8200 chainset with a 32-tooth chainring is paired with a 10-51T cassette, offering a useful range of gears for steep climbs, technical singletrack and faster sections of trail.The single-chainring setup keeps shifting straightforward, while the wireless system reduces cable clutter around the cockpit.Shimano Deore Four-Piston BrakesShimano Deore BR-M6220 four-piston hydraulic disc brakes provide controlled stopping power for technical trail riding.The four-piston callipers deliver consistent braking force, helping riders manage speed on steep descents, loose surfaces and challenging terrain.Hydraulic operation provides progressive control, allowing riders to adjust braking force with confidence when navigating tight corners or changing trail conditions.Syncros Silverton Wheels and Maxxis TyresThe Scott Spark DC 20 rolls on 29-inch Syncros Silverton AL2 aluminium wheels, featuring 30mm internal rim widths and tubeless-ready construction.The wider rims provide a supportive platform for the 2.4-inch tyres, helping maintain tyre stability when cornering and riding over rough terrain.Up front, the Maxxis Forekaster 29x2.4-inch tyre features a tread pattern designed to provide traction across mixed trail conditions, including loose and damp surfaces.At the rear, the Maxxis Rekon 29x2.4-inch tyre balances rolling efficiency with grip, making it suitable for varied trail surfaces.Both tyres feature Maxxis 3C MaxxTerra rubber compounds, 120TPI casings and EXO sidewall protection, providing a balance of grip, ride feel and durability.Their tubeless-ready construction also allows riders to convert to a tubeless setup, which can help reduce pinch punctures and allow lower tyre pressures for improved traction and comfort.Adjustable Dropper Post and Trail CockpitThe Scott Spark DC 20 features a Syncros SP-M301-AL2 dropper seatpost with RAD 2.0 travel adjustment, allowing riders to customise the available drop to suit their height and riding preferences.Lowering the saddle provides additional room to move around the bike when descending, improving control on steep and technical terrain.The Syncros DC ST-M200-AL2 cockpit provides a clean, integrated appearance, while the Syncros Tofino R 2.0 saddle offers support for longer rides.Whether you're exploring technical singletrack, tackling trail centre descents or heading out for an all-day mountain adventure, the Scott Spark DC 20 combines adjustable suspension, wireless shifting and versatile trail geometry for a balanced riding experience.
