Just in time for the XC World Cup in Leogang, SCOTT-SRAM received a special new rig, the all-new Spark RC World Cup. Time for a bikecheck of Nino’s not-so-ordinary new weapon of choice from the World Cup pits in Leogang.
Leogang, Austria. For years, the Spark family of bikes here at SCOTT has been a cornerstone of our success in the mountain bike industry. From World Cup win to World Cup win, the Spark RC has been a constant at the head of the race whether men’s or women’s and XCO or marathon stage racing.
With a total of 27 World Cup victories, 6 World Champion titles, 1 European Champion, plenty of National Champion titles and 2 shiny golden medals, it’s fair to say that the Spark RC is the most successful XC race bike out there. For 2022, the all-new Spark is set to continue this heritage on race tracks all around the world for years to come with several key updates including integrated shock, semi-integrated cables, updated geometry and extended travel to 120mm aswell as the all important second water bottle mounts for marathon and stage racing.
Discover the all-new Spark RC and take a dive deep into the detailed spec of the European Champion’s ride below.

The Bike – SCOTT Spark RC
The ALL NEW Spark RC is the perfect blend of top-notch carbon engineering, never before seen levels of integration and just the right amount of secret sauce. We wanted to make this platform faster than ever before both up and down the hill. Increasing travel, perfecting geometry, and applying input from the world’s best athletes, we’ve created the cross country race bike of all cross country race bikes. If you think fast is fun, then you’re going to love this ride.
For European Champion Nino Schurter the all-new Spark RC comes with a very special setup featuring RockShox SID Ultimate, SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS Drivetrain, the new wider Syncros Silverton SL (30mm) carbon wheels, Fraser iC SL combo and even a lighter version of his Tofino saddle saving 50g.
Talking about a tricked out bike, this rig ticks all the boxes.
