Scott Spark RC 900 Pro or Scalpel S1 3 (2019)

Please help.

 

Looking to upgrade. Tried out the new Trek Top Fuel and while great on the downhills, it felt a little less responsive than the 100mm travel I'm used to. 

 

Thoughts and opinions...

I'd go test both before committing if I were you. My biased opinion would also be Scott, I'm on the 2017 RC 900 Pro. I use that "gimmicky" twinlock lever more than my gear lever  :whistling:

Both great bikes. Slightly different in ride feel. Scalpel has two bottlecages, Spark has the TwinLoc.

Test ride will reveal your one true love

I'd go for the Cannondale if I had to choose between those two.

I really like the lefty.

I really don't like the Scott twinlever and the kraaines that goes with it.

But alot of people don't like the lefty and don't mind the kraaines and like the twinlever.

Een man se lelik is 'n ander man se vrou.

You can't go wrong with either.

Thanks Johan. Rode the Cannondale and absolutely loved it. Only concern is the cost of servicing of the Lefty and colour :-) Otherwise was quick on the climbs and very responsive.
