The 2016 Scott Contessa Spark 700 dominates cross country racing, 24-hour marathons, and weekends packed with trail time. Its lightweight aluminum frame balances nimble handling with stable, confident steering, allowing you to carve turns with pin-point precision. Scott’s suspension remote lets you make on-the-fly adjustments to the 120mm-travel Fox Float fork and Nude shock, so you can transition from fast climbs to technical descents with the flick of a switch. For the ever-changing trail, spry 27.5-inch Syncros wheels carry your momentum and deftly navigate rock gardens, while fast-rolling Schwalbe tires grip the trail for excellent control. Shimano's XT drivetrain makes light work of all the ups and downs, while the Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide smooth stopping power.
