The SCOTT Spark DC 40 is built for riders who want more from every ride. A short-travel platform that delivers cross-country speed and backcountry capability in one considered design—engineered to be your go-to for everything.

Every detail is tuned to open up the trail without limitation.

The 140mm front and 135mm rear travel provides the ideal range to climb efficiently, carve descents with confidence, and absorb the rough stuff in between. A low center of mass enhances stability through flow trails and jump lines, while the lightweight HMF carbon frame delivers efficient acceleration and lively handling out of switchbacks and onto open singletrack. Together, they represent a step forward for what short-travel trail riding should be.

Traction, control, and comfort are delivered by RockShox's Pike fork and Deluxe Traction shock—a setup that brings plush, responsive handling to dynamic terrain. From lunch laps and focused sessions to full weekend adventures, it's a combination built to elevate every second of the ride.

The component spec rounds out a capable and considered package. Shimano's Deore 12-speed drivetrain delivers confident, reliable shifting across every condition, while integrated frame storage and a dedicated frame mount make it straightforward to load up for longer days or light bikepacking when you want to put the bike to work.

Performance also extends to practicality. Improved serviceability and tunability are built into the design, so you can keep the bike dialed and spend less time in the workshop—and more time focused on the trail ahead.
