The all-new Spark DC downcountry bike is a lightweighted XC bike for all-day mountain adventures. It allows you to go backpacking with friends or go for your daily ride after work. A true companion for every-day use.
Most distinctive feature is the lack of a rear suspension. Not really. It is nicely ticked away inside the centre of the frame. Keeping it clean in muddy conditions. Although you might want to use the pop-up frame fenders to get the best result.
The magnetic frame cover not only hides the suspension element, is also gives room to your ‘Save the Day Kit’. Good to know is that different frame covers are offered, to accommodate different types of shocks. The integrated and exposed SAG & Travel Indicator helps you dial in your suspension in seconds.
Tube-in-tube routing keep cables silent, protected, and easy to service. Keeping the cockpit clean and tidy. By changing the head-tube change you can choose between a fully integrated or more classic cable routing.
The 140 mm front and 138 mm rear travel provides the ideal range to climb efficiently, descent with confidence and absorb obstacles easily. A low center of mass enhances stability through flow trails, while the lightweight HMF carbon frame delivers efficient acceleration and lively handling.
