Specifications, availability and prices may have changed; use it as an archive and verify current details with the manufacturer or retailer.<\/aside>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Editorial note, August 2026:<\/strong> This review refers to the model-year generation named in the article. Specifications, prices and availability may have changed since publication; confirm the exact current or second-hand build before buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are different companies around the world looking for one thing in common. <strong>They want to create the best <a href=\"https:\/\/pegatin.com\/blog\/top-10-mountain-bikes\/\">mountain bike of 2021<\/a><\/strong>. It is kind of complicated to do it, <strong>but not impossible<\/strong>. That\u2019s why <strong>Scott<\/strong> decided to make a powerful bike named <strong>Scott Spark RC 900 PRO<\/strong>, which has been a surprise for most of us. Want to know why? Stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scott refreshed mountain bike for 2021<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each year new bikes come and go. The competition for finding out which one is the most powerful is kind of complicated, <strong>but companies always try to do their best<\/strong>. That\u2019s exactly what we can see when talking about the <strong>Scott Spark RC 900 PRO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like other essential companies from all over the world, <strong>Scott has created some fantastic bikes<\/strong>. And they couldn\u2019t stay away from the race to get a vital spot for the 2021 competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We know that cyclists look for high-end bikes nowadays, and that\u2019s what the <strong>Scott Spark RC 900 PRO <\/strong>gives to people. But it is not fair enough just to mention the fact that the bike is <em>powerful enough<\/em>. We need to look further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first thing we need to look at is the components <strong>Scott<\/strong> decided to use. In this bike, they went for one of the safest bets a company could do: Shimano. As expected, they chose the best components from them to prove that they have what it takes to be part of the top 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that\u2019s not everything people look at when choosing a bike. They also see other components, like the <strong>frame<\/strong>. In this bike, we can see that Scott created their frame. But, let\u2019s go for further information on this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/pegatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/280494_1699168_png_zoom_5-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Scott Spark RC 900 PRO\" class=\"wp-image-726\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reviewing Scott Spark RC 900 PRO components<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shimano<\/strong> is always important when it comes to bike components. That\u2019s why it has won an important place among the most famous <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pegatin.com\/blog\/bike-components-shimano-sram-or-campagnolo\/\">components companies<\/a><\/strong> in the world. Therefore, we can guess why Scott chose them for the <strong>Spark RC.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, enough talk. We are mentioning power and high-end without telling people exactly what\u2019s behind it. Let\u2019s take a look at what the <strong>Scott Spark RC 900 PRO<\/strong> has hidden for cyclists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Chain: <\/strong>Shimano XT CN-M8100<\/li><li><strong>Cassette: <\/strong>Shimano XT CS-M8100-12 \/ 10-51 T<\/li><li><strong>Brakes: <\/strong>Shimano XTR M9100 Disc<\/li><li><strong>Rotor: <\/strong>Shimano RT-MT800 CL<\/li><li><strong>Rear Derailleur: <\/strong>Shimano XTR RD-M9100 SGS<\/li><li><strong>Shifters: <\/strong>Shimano XTR SL-M9100-IR \/ Rapidfire Plus<\/li><li><strong>Crankset: <\/strong>Shimano XTR FC-M9120-1 \/ Hollowtech 2<\/li><li><strong>Chain: <\/strong>Shimano XT CN-M8100<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we can see, the main components of the bike come from <strong>Shimano<\/strong>. There are a few missing things that we would watch that <strong>Fox and Scott<\/strong> also took a part of the building process with some components if we take a look at. Not a surprise, they were looking for quality, <strong>and they achieved it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spark RC: A premium carbon frame<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The frame is an important part of the bike. No one can say that it is not vital to have a solid frame when it comes to a bike, and <strong>Scott knows it<\/strong>. That\u2019s why they decided to create a brand new frame just for this bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A mountain bike like the <strong>Scott Spark RC 900 PRO<\/strong> can\u2019t lack power on its components, either on its frame. That\u2019s why the company chose the <strong>Spark RC Carbon frame<\/strong> for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carbon frames have taken over the market, and <strong>Scott<\/strong> opted to be part of the companies using these frames, and they made a quite good choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/pegatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1787154_zoom_1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Scott Spark RC 900\" class=\"wp-image-725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pegatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1787154_zoom_1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pegatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1787154_zoom_1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pegatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1787154_zoom_1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pegatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1787154_zoom_1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"pegatin-product-cta\">\n  <p>Make your bike easier to identify and give it a clean professional look.<\/p>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/pegatin.com\/?utm_source=pegatin_blog&amp;utm_medium=internal_cta&amp;utm_campaign=seo_cta&amp;utm_content=scott-spark-rc-900\" title=\"Create your custom bike name stickers with flag\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pegatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CTA-optimized.webp\" alt=\"Create custom bike name stickers with your name and country flag\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; display:block;\" loading=\"lazy\">\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Scott Spark RC 900 PRO powerful enough?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Time to tell the truth.
