What makes it special
Thoughtful details. Big possibilities.
01Lightweight Design
Lightweight performance is part of the Spark DNA, but on the all-new Spark DC it’s about more than grams. The frame layout was redesigned from the ground up to achieve purposeful weight distribution and true ride balance. By positioning the shock and kinematics low and central, the bike feels composed at speed, precise in corners, and efficient under power. Light where it matters. Stable where it counts.
02Suspension Layout
The refined flex-pivot system delivers 138 mm of highly efficient rear travel with reduced complexity and uncompromising performance. By eliminating unnecessary hardware and optimizing pivot placement, the system reduces weight while increasing torsional stiffness and long-term durability. A custom-tuned shock with bearing eyelets further reduces friction, significantly improving small-bump sensitivity and initial stroke response. The result is a rear end that reacts with precision, maintains grip over technical terrain, and delivers consistent support throughout the travel.
03Shock Compatibility
We get it, riders love their own setups. So we designed the frame with plenty of space and compatibility for a wide range of aftermarket shocks. Run what you like. Swap what you want. The Spark DC accommodates aftermarket shock options from leading suspension brands such as, RockShox SidLux XL FA, RockShox SidLux XL, Fox Float, Öhlins TTX22M.2, RockShox Super Deluxe.
A short-travel platform that brings together cross-country speed and downhill confidence—equally at home on local singletrack as it is on backcountry missions. Every detail is considered to deliver stability and responsiveness. A low center of mass keeps the ride controlled and planted through flow trails and jump lines.
Paired with 140mm front and 138mm rear travel, it provides the range to handle technical terrain and rougher features with ease. The lightweight HMF carbon frame is tuned for cross-country efficiency on the climbs and lively, spirited performance on the descents—a balance of speed and capability that makes every ride rewarding. Traction, control, and comfort are delivered by RockShox's Pike Select fork and Deluxe Traction shock, both with a custom tune that keeps your wheels planted and your options open for whatever the trail presents.
From lunch laps and focused sessions to full weekend adventures, the suspension is engineered to elevate the ride at every turn. The component spec rounds out a capable, considered, and performance-driven package. SRAM's S1000 Eagle AXS Transmission drivetrain delivers smooth, reliable riding across every condition, while integrated frame storage and a dedicated frame mount make it straightforward to load up for bikepacking and keeping essentials close on longer rides.
Performance also extends to practicality. Improved serviceability and tunability are built into the design, making it easy to keep the bike dialed and riding exactly how you like it—so you spend less time in the workshop and more time focused on the trail ahead.
