SCOTT SPARK RC SL EVO AXS

£11,999

Now, I know what you’re thinking! £12k for a bike and it doesn’t even have a motor?! Well, the Spark RC SL Evo AXS doesn’t need one. At a claimed weight of 10.1kg it’s crazy light for a 120mm bike, so it will almost rocket up climbs under its own steam. And with Fox Factory level suspension, with Kashima coating adding a touch of gold, its looks match the price.
