beautiful bike and nice component mix, pretty light at just under 27lbs for a large. the lockout trigger assembly really put it over the top. this bike is pretty quick and efficient when lockout engaged, a pig when not. thats the beauty of the lockout, you can be fast and stiff or soft and lazy. very quick handler, which translates to a wagging front end under steep climbing. i never once bottomed out on one of my local downhills and hardly used the brakes as well. the heavy flexy wheels hold it back from being an awsome bike for 2,500usd.

Scott says
The Spark sets the world standard for a lightweight, race ready, full suspension bike. Boasting 110 mm of rear travel, the Spark is ideally suited to cross country, marathons, multi-day stage races, and all day fun. The TWINLOC lever allows the rider to choose between full travel or full lock out front and rear.
