THE LIGHTEST SPARK SCOTT HAS EVER BUILT.

The 2026 SCOTT Spark RC SL sits one rung above even the World Cup EVO. The frame is HMX SL - the most refined carbon layup SCOTT makes, full stop. Bare frame weight is just 1427g with the shock fitted, and the complete bike rolls out of the box at 9.9kg ready to ride with a wireless dropper, power meter and full suspension. Ceramic Speed bearings and titanium hardware from the factory. Full carbon Syncros Silverton CF1 wheels with carbon rims AND carbon spokes. SRAM's halo XX SL Eagle AXS Transmission with integrated power meter. RockShox Flight Attendant electronic auto-suspension. Reverb AXS wireless dropper. This is World Cup race kit, no compromises, sold to you exactly as the SCOTT-SRAM pros train on.

WHY THIS IS THE FLAGSHIP

- HMX SL Carbon Gen5 frame - SCOTT's lightest and most refined layup. 1427g bare frame with shock. A genuine step up from the HMX used on the World Cup EVO.

- 9.9kg complete weight (tubeless, without Save the Day kit) - sub-10kg with a wireless dropper, full 120mm suspension, power meter and disc brakes. Almost unheard of in a production XC bike.

- Ceramic Speed pivot bearings, Ceramic Speed Alpha BSA bottom bracket and titanium frame hardware from the factory - marginal-gains kit that costs $1,500+ aftermarket, already in the bike.

- 120mm front + 120mm rear travel with World Cup race geometry - 65.9 degree head angle, 434mm chainstays, 50-80mm stems. Sharp, fast, race-bred.

- RockShox Flight Attendant - electronically controlled SID Ultimate fork and SIDLuxe Ultimate shock. Reads the trail and switches between Lockout, Pedal and Descend modes in real time, automatically. Smarter than your thumb. Always.

- SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS Transmission - SRAM's lightest, top-tier wireless 12-speed group. Carbon crank arms, hanger-less direct mount, 10-52T, integrated spider power meter for real wattage straight out of the box.

- SRAM Motive Ultimate 4-piston brakes on SRAM CLX Centerline rotors - the highest-spec XC brake SRAM offers.

- Syncros Silverton CF1 wheels - carbon rims AND carbon spokes, 30mm internal, 24H, DT Swiss-style Ratchet freewheel, XD driver. The full-carbon wheel upgrade most riders only dream about.

- RockShox Reverb AXS wireless dropper - no cables, no clutter. World Cup race-day dropper.

- Syncros IC-M100-SL1 HMX SL carbon integrated cockpit - the matching top-tier bar/stem combo. Lighter again than the cheaper HMF bar fitted to the EVO.

- Carbon-railed Syncros Celista Cut Out saddle.

- Maxxis Aspen Race Edition 29x2.4" 120TPI MaxxSpeed - the fastest XC race tyre going. Set up tubeless before pickup.

- Adjustable +/-0.5 degree head angle via the Syncros/Acros headset - dial it for the course you're racing.

BLUE CARE - LIFETIME AFTERCARE, ONLY AT BLUE CYCLES
Most Darwin shops include a "free 6-week service" with a new bike. In reality, that's a bolt check - and once it's done, you're on your own.

We do it differently. Every bike from Blue Cycles comes with Blue Care*.

Blue Care is a LIFETIME Tune and Check, ON THE SPOT, in-between every major service, for the original owner. We check it on the spot, for as long as you own the bike.

We recommend a major service every 4-6 months. Blue Care covers everything in between. Forever. No bookings, no waiting, no invoice.

One free check-up vs. a lifetime of looking after your bike. That's the Blue Cycles difference.

*To keep Blue Care active, your bike needs to have had a paid major service with us within the previous 12 months. Original owner only, non-transferable.
