Scott Contessa Spark RC World Cup

The 2022 "Contessa Spark RC World Cup" model from Scott is a state-of-the-art mountain bike characterised by its advanced technology and high-quality components. Priced at 8,299 EUR, it is aimed at discerning female riders who value performance and quality.

The bike’s frame is made from Spark RC Carbon HMX and incorporates suspension technology featuring a Flex Pivot and an adjustable head angle. The Syncros Cable Integration System ensures a clean, tidy look and protects the cables. The frame is designed for a maximum rider weight of 128 kg and weighs just 10 kg itself, contributing to a lightweight yet robust riding experience.

The braking system consists of Shimano XTR M9100 disc brakes with Shimano SM-RT76 brake discs (180 mm at the front, 160 mm at the rear), which ensure reliable braking performance. The drivetrain is a wireless SRAM X01 Eagle AXS 12-speed system, controlled by the SRAM GX Eagle AXS Rocker Controller.

The RockShox SID Select+ RL3 Air fork, with 120 mm of travel, and the RockShox NUDE 5 RL3 Trunnion shock offer adjustable suspension with three modes (Lockout, Traction Control, Descend) and allow for precise adaptation to different types of terrain. The drivetrain is completed by the SRAM X01 DUB Eagle Carbon crankset with a 30T chainring and an SRAM X01 XG1295 cassette (10–52T).

The handlebars – a Syncros Fraser iC SL XC Carbon model with a width of 740 mm and an 8-degree backsweep – together with the Syncros Women Pro lock-on grips, provide a comfortable and ergonomic riding experience. The Syncros Acros Angle Adjust & Cable Routing headset allows for fine adjustment of the steering angle by ±0.6 degrees.

The Maxxis Rekon Race tyres (29x2.4") are tubeless-ready and offer excellent grip and puncture protection. The Syncros Silverton 1.0-30 wheelset, featuring DT Swiss Ratchet hubs and a 30 mm wide carbon rim, is lightweight and robust. The Syncros Celista 1.5 saddle and the FOX Transfer SL Performance Elite dropper post (100 mm) provide additional comfort and adjustability.
