What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I'd put this build in the sweet spot for riders who want a seriously capable race platform without going full boutique. The SID Select feels efficient and supportive, TwinLoc makes it easy to keep momentum, and GX AXS Transmission is the kind of shifting you stop thinking about because it just works. It's quick on climbs, calm when things get choppy, and ready for big mileage days."The Spark RC Team Issue Bike is built for the kind of rides where pace matters and the trail doesn't always cooperate. SCOTT's carbon HMF chassis keeps acceleration sharp and efficient, while the 120mm travel platform adds a confidence boost when the course turns technical. Whether we're chasing personal bests on punchy climbs or threading through rock gardens at speed, this bike stays composed and eager to push harder. SCOTT's Integrated Suspension Technology tucks the rear shock inside the frame for a cleaner profile, improved stiffness, and better protection from trail grime. With TwinLoc control at the bar, we can instantly move between efficient climbing support and full-descend traction. A carbon wheelset keeps response snappy, the dropper post expands what feels "raceable," and wireless shifting helps the bike stay precise when we're deep in the effort. Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive.
