What makes it special

Thoughtful details. Big possibilities.

01
Lightweight Design
The new Spark RC is one of the lightest new generation 120mm xc race bikes available while at the same time including performance enhancing features and capabilities. Lightweight efficiency defines the foundation of this frame. It is not a design driven by chasing the lowest possible number on a scale, but by the pursuit of meaningful weight distribution that directly translates into performance on the trail and racetrack. Every gram removed has a purpose, and every structural decision is measured against stiffness balance and long-term reliability.
02
Ride Dynamics
Every detail of this bike’s design has been carefully engineered to maximize grip and traction, to maintain stability, and give riders the confidence to push harder and ride faster. Ride dynamics are about speed through control, it’s about grip and stability. The Spark RC frame is engineered as a complete system, where controlled flex enhances both grip, line control and efficiency. Lateral, vertical, and torsional flex are carefully tuned across the entire frame to work together seamlessly. The result is a bike that feels responsive, predictable, and fast on any terrain.
03
Easy Access
Service and suspension setup are intuitive thanks to the accessible frame with top and rear frame covers. These magnetic and clipped covers provide easy access to the shock and interior, making workshop service fast and hassle-free. Both frame covers are sealed to protect the shock from dirt and water ingress. When running a split top cover, especially in combination with electronic shocks, dust and moisture entering the frame is unavoidable. To address this, a large drain hole in the frame efficiently evacuates any accumulated water. The shock shaft and seals remain fully protected, ensuring long-term consistent suspension performance in all conditions

Every detail is designed to create a seamless connection between rider and terrain, delivering the feedback and confidence to commit to every feature up and down the mountain. Developed in close collaboration with our pro riders, the next-generation HMF carbon frame refines the layup and geometry to unlock the ideal balance of speed, agility, and control—whether you're deep into a training block taking to the start line. Performance extends from the frame to enhance control on demanding singletrack with Fox's 120mm 34SL and Float Factory suspension—a combination engineered specifically for the rigors of modern XC tracks.

Dive into technical sections with your wheels planted and your speed exactly where you want it, knowing the setup is working with you every step of the way. Every component is chosen to make you faster, elevate your capability, and provide lasting durability. Shimano XT Di2's race-ready wireless drivetrain delivers smooth, reliable shifts under pressure, while Syncros Silverton aluminum wheels and cockpit sharpen control.

It’s a component selection that moves you with precision across every condition and brings workhorse-level endurance. Performance also extends to practicality. Improved serviceability and compatibility across a wider range of suspension designs means less time in the workshop and more time on the trail.

Smart integration and intuitive engineering make this a bike that's as easy to live with as it is thrilling to ride—built to perform today and last well into the future.
